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 register multiple Kubernetes clusters, offers a single pane of visibility on its dashboard, and perform lifecycle management operations
Our TMC usage was limited, and exploring it further was hindered by the lack of an on-premise model. Due to compliance issues with the SaaS model, we couldn't proceed with it as a production-grade product. So, an on-premises model would have been useful for us. VMware rolled out an on-premise model for TMC, allowing for an on-premises implementation, which we learned about six months ago. Also, cost is always a concern. Smaller companies might find the price a bigger issue. Since we were at a large data center, the price might not have been a concern for us. Smaller and medium businesses might hesitate due to the price tag. VMware can be quite expensive.
