Nutanix Database Service vs VMware Tanzu Data Solutions comparison

"It has wizards that are very helpful in the installation, and it handles automation as well as virtualization once deployed."

"This is a very useful solution for database management."

"It saves operation time and day-to-day tasks."

"It has some very good features. It really works with multiple silos in terms of infrastructure, database updates, and migration. So many things are easy with Era."

"The most valuable feature is its robust infrastructure management tools."

"We use the solution to save costs and simplify operations."

"The solution enables us to speed up the creation of new instances."

"It is also a single platform, all in one place, and that is a reason we went for this solution. Earlier, we had multiple platforms, the database and the OS, but this is a single platform that helps us with what we are doing."

"The message routing is the most valuable feature. It is effective and flexible."

"We use VMware RabbitMQ to transfer information from one point to another."

"Pivotal Greenplum's shared-nothing architecture."

"With VMware Tanzu Greenplum, one can make a huge database table and analyze the queries by adding in the SQL command. Some hint or command for the query goes over the multi-parallel execution."

"We chose Greenplum because of the architecture in terms of clustering databases and being able to have, or at least utilize the resources that are sitting on a database."

"We have been able to set up a messaging system that facilitates data integration between the software modules that we sell."

"A very good, open-source platform."

"Very fast for query processing."

"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."

"The initial setup was a little tedious and complex. If they could make the setup slightly more user-friendly, then that would definitely be beneficial. If they could give a clear indication of what ports are required across the business and multiple VLANs, then your prep work can be done beforehand and before you do the actual installation. Because the documentation that was provided was not 100 percent accurate, so we had to do a lot of custom firewall rules after we deployed Nutanix Era."

"The graphical user interfaces could be much more user-friendly. They are already user-friendly, but they could be simpler so that we do not need L3 staff to handle them. If they were simpler, we could also have some command center or L1/L1.5 associates do some housekeeping activities on it."

"Patch management is an issue as it regularly causes stability problems."

"Sometimes, the solution requires a deep knowledge of the IT infrastructure, which makes it difficult."

"This solution could be improved by integrating with more database providers."

"It should be able to be consumed by other customers because only the enterprise cloud customers are able to buy this software."

"It would be helpful if Nutanix added a billing system for databases. We need to automate this with a separate solution. We are service providers, so it would be easier for our customers if there were a built-in system that we could use for billing."

"If you have a user consuming a huge load of resources, it takes down the entire system."

"I would like to see the performance of the administration portal improved and additional messaging protocols."

"VMware Tanzu Greenplum needs improvement in the memory area and improved methods for quick access to the disc. So, one of the quick goals of Greenplum must work on enhancing access to the disc by adding hints in the database."

"Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient."

"The fact that a single queue can't be distributed across multiple instances/nodes is a major disadvantage."

"The initial setup is somewhat complex and the out-of-the-box configuration requires optimization."

"The solution needs improvement on performance."

"Extra filters would be helpful."

"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"Nutanix Database Service is an expensive solution."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."

"The tool is expensive."

"The price of the solution is expensive."

"The licensed-based pricing is confusing and too high."

"Licensing costs will be the main scalability problem."

"Era is quite expensive. The thing that will be a showstopper for them in the long run is if you look at it from a technical perspective on what it provides and weigh it up against consolidation of multiple other software suites."

"It is an open-source platform. Although, we have to pay for additional features."

"Pricing is good compared to other products. It's fine."

"This is an open source solution."

"The pricing is okay."

"It’s an open-source solution."

"It is the best product with best fit for price/performance customer objectives."

"Since the tool is an open-source product, there is no need to pay anything."

"The pricing for RabbitMQ is reasonable. It is worth the cost."
