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.
William Mbanya - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable, affordable, user-friendly, and integrates well with third-party solutions
The solution must allow the extension of the retention period. Depending on the use case, the retention period can hamper us. We understand the importance of the retention period when we compare it to the price we pay. The vendor must promote the solution more. They are doing some promotions. More marketing will help people to know about the product.

Cons

"Another aspect that needs improvement is continuous protection against security threats such as ransomware and potential data leakage."
"The solution should include more protocols to access data."
"When it comes to Nutanix Files, one thing that would be great is a slightly easier way of managing snapshots and restore points, especially when a third party is involved."
"According to the keynotes announced by Nutanix the previous day or this morning, the data storage for Kubernetes requires improvement as it has a few shortcomings in the area of operations."
"We have issues with software updates occasionally."
"With all of the Nutanix equipment, the licensing is expensive. We operate in the enterprise space, but we're a midsized company. At times, the price tag is a little bit shocking for a company with only 35 employees."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its pricing is good to okay. It is not super inexpensive, but it is still competitive. Everything could always be lower."
"The price can always be improved. As a customer, you always seek reasonable solutions within your budget, and they give us little to do a lot. My IT team always has to justify that we are choosing an optimal solution, so the price could be a little lower Maybe the prices could be a little bit lower."
"The solution’s pricing could be cheaper."
"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."
"It is not too high for what we are using."
"If we compare the cost of Nutanix Objects Storage to other solutions such as VMware licenses, our current choice is Nutanix Objects Storage. This solution is more cost-effective. However, adding VMware to Nutanix would not be a cost-efficient decision, which is why we do not use it anymore."
"Nutanix offers different pricing options, including Ultimate and Ultimate Pro."
"Nutanix Unified Storage isn't expensive."
"Wasabi has better pricing than Nutanix."
"The price of the solution is inexpensive."
"I can only tell you that Wasabi costs about half what Amazon Web Services is charging. Now, the cost per month is a more difficult question. That varies depending on the capacity, the services you're employing, and that type of thing."
"The price is reasonable."
"Wasabi is a cost-effective solution for data storage, priced at just under six dollars per terabyte."
"The tool’s price is very reasonable."
"Wasabi is a cheap solution, and users have to pay for a monthly license."
