Tejas Patil - PeerSpot reviewer
It's easy for users to access and saves us a significant amount of money
We have massive storage needs and currently have 20 terabytes of storage Nutanix. We are storing around 10 or 11 terabytes of data on NUS. The cost would be huge if we wanted to add another NAS. A separate NAS would require us to buy more hardware and add switches. Nutanix allows us to add more storage inside the same cluster. It has significantly reduced our storage nodes by about 50 percent. It has been effective for us in terms of operations, management, and control.
Derrick Day - PeerSpot reviewer
An easy-to-use consolidation solution that can be used to manage backups of SAP workloads
Once the solution is in place, there's not a lot of maintenance required. We definitely have a maintenance contract with Oracle, but nothing out of the ordinary. I would recommend Oracle Database Backup Service to users using Oracle databases. We work with the solution as a systems integrator. Overall, I rate Oracle Database Backup Service an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Redundancy and availability are valuable. We have several nodes, so it stays up, and there is redundancy. Then there is availability."
"They have well-documented best practices and the interface is good."
"It is a highly scalable solution."
"Nutanix Unified Storage does a very good job of unifying our organization's block, file, and object storage. It puts it all in one place. From one platform, we can deploy S3-type buckets. We can provide iSCSI-level block storage if we need to. It does a great job with home folders and departmental shares, which is what we mostly use Nutanix Unified Storage for."
"The inclusion of it in the Nutanix Objects Storage platform simplifies my process as I am no longer required to acquire a separate platform. Instead, I can simply purchase additional licenses as needed. All management can be performed from a single unified interface, making it a convenient and streamlined experience."
"The most valuable features of Nutanix Unified Storage are the unified dashboard and the ease of administration."
"The benefit that our clients see is the security of the whole Nutanix platform where they have simplified usage."
"Currently, the most valuable aspect of our Nutanix implementation is its file storage functionality."
"Oracle Database Backup Service is an easy-to-use consolidation solution that's dashboard-driven."
"It's a scalable product."
"The product works very fast. It automates a lot of operations in the background."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to perform encrypted backups after any learning."
"The backup is reliable and intuitive."
"From the database perspective, Oracle is the best."
"Replication and performance tuning are valuable features."
"The product's most valuable features are differential and cumulative backup functionality."
 

Cons

"It is challenging to configure access control settings."
"The dashboard can have more details and be more useful."
"Its licensing can be better. They can make it easier for us to scale our infrastructure."
"The interface is not logical. It should be a little simpler."
"The graphical user interfaces could benefit from more attention to detail."
"We have issues with software updates occasionally."
"I would like Nutanix to provide a solution for virtual disks. This is the main problem for which we want a solution."
"What's missing in Nutanix Files Storage is the support for multiple intranets or VLANs on the same file from different networks and network devices."
"The product's technical support services need improvement in terms of response time."
"Oracle Database Backup Service is not a cheap solution."
"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."
"They should base their strategy according to the country and the regulations there, and focus more on the on-premises deployment."
"The solution needs to add an archive function."
"We encounter issues while restoring differential and cumulative backups."
"We cannot use the product with other brands."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to other solutions, NUS is cost-effective and efficient. It also has good performance."
"I'm happy with the cost and licensing because I don't have big volumes."
"The cost of Nutanix Unified Storage can be prohibitive for some small and medium-sized businesses, making it challenging for them to adopt the product."
"The pricing is a bit too high."
"My company is in Brazil, and making the payments in dollars is tough for our organization."
"It is very good. It is much more competitive than a dedicated storage platform."
"We are Nutanix partners, so it is pretty good. With the free terabyte that comes with the Nutanix clusters, we have started to build proposals for the clients. The price adjustment with the new policy of Nutanix Unified Storages seems attractive. Let us see if it has results."
"Nutanix is very competitive."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate Oracle Database Backup Service a seven or eight out of ten."
"It's an expensive solution and is an area that needs improvement."
"The platform is expensive."
"The only problem with Oracle is its pricing."
"The platform is expensive."
"Price is always an area that could be made better, as it is quite expensive."
