Helps to avoid downtime by creating new ports
We did contact Nutanix support during implementation but not for server-level application implementation. It was for a network-based implementation when we had uplink issues, which Nutanix resolved. We also faced a migration issue related to an agent that needs to run on the Nutanix VM. This agent runs on a specific port, which other applications on the VMware instance might use. We changed that particular port, and it's working fine now. It just took a two or three minute call to resolve. Nutanix support responded quickly. We raised a call, and within half an hour to an hour, they joined on Webex. They checked our configuration and shared a document with changes that weren't persistent after the reboot. Later, they made process changes at the OS level, not on Nutanix. We needed to make some service-level changes on the OS, which were applied successfully. Now, after every reboot, we get the desired output.

Easy to deploy, worth the money, and helpful for uptime monitoring and performance insights
Its billing model is consumption-based. I understand the consumption-based model, but it is not necessarily easy to estimate and guess how many points or how much we are going to consume on a specific application up until we get to that point. So, for us, it would be helpful to have more insights or predictability into what we can expect from a cost perspective if we are starting to use specific features. This can potentially also drive our consumption a bit more. The other thing for us is that while it is great that we have all these standard metrics, it would be good if we can also more easily define standard metrics to be consumed for our own application. At the moment, for a lot of applications, we have to reinvent the wheel every time. If there was something so that we can build our own packaging of metrics, it would be helpful. In the future, we might be deploying our software to other customers as well. So, they should make it easier to redeploy that. There should be more customizable dashboards. The Wavefront dashboards are very technical and a more business-oriented dashboard design would definitely help.
