We performed a comparison between Nutanix Prism and SolarWinds NPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Virtualization Management Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."In the six years we have been using Nutanix Prism, we have never had a problem with stability."
"The most valuable feature is the solution's single-pane-of-glass approach to consolidating all of the various metrics and interfaces that I would typically have to access via multiple screens in other products. The ease of use would probably be the single biggest selling point."
"We can also manage our disaster recovery plan from a single console."
"The solution is a high-performance platform that effectively handles three-layered issues like SA and network fiber cables."
"The most valuable features are the dashboards."
"The Clone and Snapshot features are two of the most valuable aspects of the solution for our organization. Rather than simply one-click automation the Snapshot and reverse Snapshot are great."
"Before implementing Prism, we had an issue with too many alerts for similar issues, so it was difficult to maintain them. The alerts kept coming, and we had a hard time keeping track of everything. We had multiple alerts about CPU, RAM, and storage. Prism helps us identify and eliminate false alerts because most of them were redundant."
"Nutanix Prism offers web scaling, which facilitates easy scaling."
"The other valuable system is the DSS (decision support system). If there's a fault in the network, SolarWinds is basically capable of rectifying and resolving that problem on its own without any intervention from an IP assistant or administrator."
"The stability is fantastic."
"SolarWinds NPM has a colorful UI and many easy-to-use features. It does not need to be configured as much and is also easy to install."
"It is very extensible with 'SWQL' and APIs to where we are beginning to integrate it with network automation."
"I believe the ease of setup and use, including everything, from the initial installation to the discovery of devices is the most valuable."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Technical support is very helpful with our upgrades."
"Reporting tools are a great feature along with the ability to create customized reports for you"
"The main area where an improvement could be made would be the pricing."
"It would be ideal if there was more of a community around the solution so that it would be easier to learn things about the solution from other users."
"Although this solution has very good analytics capabilities, it can be even more granular."
"We definitely have some issues with Nutanix Prism. Our main issue is that we cannot operate the database. It would seem that less configuration would be desirable, because between Nutanix and the Oracle database on Windows, there tends to be problems."
"I wish the main landing page, the dashboard, could be organized in a way where, when there is an alert because something is wrong, I would not have to click three or four times to get to what actually happened. I wish it were quicker to get to the bottom of the problem."
"The cost is a negative aspect."
"We're running VMware's ESX hypervisor and a lot of networking isn't done in Prism, it's done at the vCenter level. But for the few proofs of concept that I've done, Prism hasn't been a good experience because there's a lot of command-line work that needs to be done to configure the network."
"The interface is good, but it needs improvements. There are a lot of functions that are only available in the CLI. In addition, some of the hardware components could be improved. We already had some trouble with disks."
"Having more technical and support resources available in Saudi Arabia would be helpful."
"SolarWinds NPM can be very slow at times. The database optimization can be done to improve the product performance."
"Application Performance Monitoring should be included in this solution."
"Technical support can be slow to respond."
"The only thing that can be improved is to continually add to the existing capabilities of the product."
"I think Solar Winds NPM needs to create a profile with documentation responsibility."
"There should be a little bit more integration in some of the other tooling and utilizing the APIs of devices or tools could be a little bit better."
"The solution does not offer much customization so is somewhat inflexible."
