ROI

Sentiment score
7.5
Nutanix Prism reduces manpower and maintenance expenses, enhancing profitability and efficiency with improved management and streamlined processes.
Sentiment score
7.4
ServiceNow IT Operations Management delivers ROI with enhanced efficiency, visibility, reduced staffing needs, but initial returns may vary.
Initially, the CapEx was higher than VMware's, but considering the operational cost over time, it has been beneficial.
It reduced staffing needs from four full-time staff to fewer due to automation.
 

Customer Service

Nutanix Prism support is praised for quick, knowledgeable service, often resolving issues same-day, despite minor improvement suggestions.
Sentiment score

ServiceNow IT Operations Management support is knowledgeable but inconsistent, with quick responses for some and delays for others.
They respond within five minutes and provide excellent assistance.
Nutanix support is excellent, and their response time is extremely fast.
Solve our issues effectively.
The response time of technical support could be improved.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
8.0
Nutanix Prism offers scalable, flexible expansion for organizations, though some face limitations requiring added nodes for resource capacity.
Sentiment score
7.6
ServiceNow IT Operations Management is scalable, integrates easily, ideal for large enterprises, but incurs substantial licensing costs.
I rate the scalability as ten out of ten.
ServiceNow ITOM scales very well to small and medium businesses.
It integrates with every single tool, even external tools.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.9
Nutanix Prism is reliable and user-friendly, offering strong performance with minimal issues and quick resolutions to minor bugs.
Sentiment score
7.8
ServiceNow IT Operations Management is reliable and efficient, praised for stability but minor performance issues occur with complex setups.
The entire Nutanix solution is stable.
Even after applying the upgrade, we had to patch again as there was a problem with Prism.
Since it is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) or Software as a Service (SaaS) solution, I consider the stability to be very high, rating it ten out of ten.
 

Room For Improvement

Nutanix Prism needs a more intuitive interface, better pricing, integration, documentation, and improved lifecycle and license management.
ServiceNow IT Operations Management needs improvement in affordability, integration, AI capabilities, user interface, automation, customization, and simplicity.
The presales and marketing team should inform clients about resource requirements, such as RAM used by CVM, to help manage expectations.
Currently, if I want to use NKP Ultimate or Pro features, I must pay separately, and the process is not easy, especially in Africa.
A more streamlined configuration process tailored to use cases and industry would be beneficial.
We are facing difficulties with service mapping of CIs from the end users, and are seeking help from third-party vendors.
There is room for improvement in service mapping within ServiceNow ITOM.
 

Setup Cost

Nutanix Prism is considered pricey but justified by features, ease of use, and potential discounts on larger purchases.
ServiceNow IT Operations Management is costly but valued for its benefits, offering customizable and negotiable pricing models.
The cost is high, and the license payment is not easy in Africa due to numerous intermediaries between users and solution providers.
At first, the cost seemed heavy, but over time, its cost-effectiveness became evident.
The pricing model offers scaling where not everything consumes a license equally, providing more value across different business areas.
ServiceNow's pricing is expensive.
 

Valuable Features

Nutanix Prism offers centralized management, seamless integration, intuitive interfaces, with scalable performance and easy upgrades for virtual environments.
ServiceNow IT Operations Management streamlines operations with Discovery, Service Mapping, and strong CMDB integration for efficient asset management.
It simplifies firmware and software updates, making it hassle-free for IT engineers.
One of the most useful features is the disaster recovery setup, which includes two clusters, one for our production server and another for our recovery site.
ServiceNow IT Operations Management influences ITSM processes by automating them and aiding in detecting and resolving IT issues to improve performance, reliability, and uptime.
The performance analytics of ServiceNow was especially beneficial for setting thresholds, aggregating, and correlating infrastructure data.
ServiceNow IT Operations Management is able to connect to our assets on our network using the Microsoft Fabric and identify these assets, populating them in the CMDB.
