Cut our TCO in half while improving the overall performance of our infrastructure operations
I like Nutanix Prism Central. The primary benefit is that we can manage everything from the same page. It also gives you the data in graph form on the main page, so you can keep a close eye on what is happening. You can watch for high utilization and see the disks and reports in the central console. It's a resilient and highly stable application The modernized infrastructure and data services feature is the most beneficial to me as an administrator. We derive business value in terms of storage because we have the option of using Windows Firewall. Nutanix Unified Storage allows us to consolidate our data platform within the Nutanix cluster itself without using external storage. You can work with all types of unstructured data seamlessly with Unified Storage. There should be no problem with that. There are no issues with audio, video, uploads, downloads, etc. It's a flexible solution. This is what I understood as I was reviewing the documentation today. Nutanix is trying to simplify storage and has many options for scalability.

Offers fast and reliable backup service and protects important data
I primarily use the product for schema and table backup The solution offers fast and reliable services.  The most valuable feature is the ability to perform encrypted backups after any learning. The solution needs to add an archive function.  I have been using Oracle Database Backup Service…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution's most valuable features are its support and speed."
"I appreciate its storage licensing model, as it offers flexibility."
"Whenever we have some necessity in terms of capacity and expansion of infrastructure, it's like a Lego system where they can just place in some more nodes and our needs are met."
"Redundancy and availability are valuable. We have several nodes, so it stays up, and there is redundancy. Then there is availability."
"What I found most valuable in Nutanix Files Storage is its high availability and ability to scale out with many VMs."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Unified Storage is redundancy."
"For somebody like me who grew up building what others call three-tier and I call traditional architecture, the valuable thing is that you can now buy it. You can have new deployments and infrastructure up and running with very little infrastructure behind it."
"Nutanix has excellent product documentation available on their portals, written in simple, easy-to-understand language."
"The product works very fast. It automates a lot of operations in the background."
"The interface is good."
"It's a scalable product."
"From the database perspective, Oracle is the best."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to perform encrypted backups after any learning."
"Replication and performance tuning are valuable features."
"The product's most valuable features are differential and cumulative backup functionality."
"The backup is reliable and intuitive."
 

Cons

"The product does not offer one console."
"Nutanix should improve the one-click upgrade. There are a lot of dependencies on third-party licenses and HP hardware we use internally. The one-click upgrade fails sometimes."
"I haven't had any issues with the solution so far."
"Pricing can always be better."
"Its interface is very simplistic. It is a good thing for people because of the ease of use, but at times, I find it too simplistic. It is hard to find advanced options. They should eventually expand it and provide additional drop-down lists or menus with advanced feature sets."
"Managing other storage infrastructure on Nutanix Files Storage is an area for improvement. In particular, I want to add other forms of storage from different vendors not currently in Nutanix Files Storage, to the file server, for better management."
"The product needs to work a bit more on its ransomware detection capabilities."
"The documentation on the support site needs to be improved."
"The product's technical support services need improvement in terms of response time."
"The solution needs to add an archive function."
"It's already fast, but still, they could improve the speed."
"Deployment is overly complex and could be streamlined."
"The product can protect from external data penetration, but the in-house IT team can access it."
"Oracle Database Backup Service is not a cheap solution."
"We cannot use the product with other brands."
"They should base their strategy according to the country and the regulations there, and focus more on the on-premises deployment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's not the cheapest solution. It's in line with other solutions, but it offers features that the competitors don't have at any price point, especially with regard to analytics and ransomware prevention. No one else has any sort of object-based storage available. Nutanix Unified Storage is a lot more feature-rich. This is a situation where you get what you pay for."
"The platform is expensive."
"The platform is expensive."
"It's an expensive solution and is an area that needs improvement."
