Unified management has simplified daily operations and has reduced troubleshooting time
Nutanix Prism is a unified management control plane, so it simplifies our operations on a daily basis with computing, storage, networking, and virtualization using a single platform. We can manage our VMs by automating them, using one-click upgrades at different cluster levels, and monitoring our VMs. The best features are unified management, one-click upgrades, intelligent operation management, and built-in security with automated management. It simplifies day-to-day tasks. Built-in security in Nutanix Prism helps as it includes role-based access management, which is known as RBAC. By giving specific roles to specific users, we manage our security. There is also a cluster lockdown capability and an auditing feature. We use RBAC for managing all the workloads that are present on Nutanix Prism. Automated management simplifies everyday tasks and provides network load balance visibility.

Significant enhancement in operations with powerful discovery and analytics, yet pricing structure poses challenges
ServiceNow IT Operations Management provides out-of-the-box dashboards. Along with the dashboard, it also provides the Operations Workspace, which is very useful for operations teams. There is a functionality called Performance Analytics, which we are also using to develop some dashboards for the senior leadership and operations team where they can perform trend analysis of alerts and events happening across the infrastructure and application landscape. These dashboards are really useful here. ServiceNow IT Operations Management's biggest plus point is that it is a platform. ITOM is just one module that ServiceNow IT Operations Management offers, but they provide seamless integration of ITOM with their other modules such as ITSM, where we can leverage the AIs for discovery, perform impact analysis, which essentially helps to enhance the overall IT operations and reduce the downtime and MTTR.
