We performed a comparison between Nutanix Unified Storage and Portworx Enterprise based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Software Defined Storage (SDS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."My opinion is that this solution has very good stability."
"Unified Storage's centralized management features enable us to accomplish whatever we want in terms of operations and migrations."
"What I found to be the most valuable features were better performance and uptime."
"What I like most about Nutanix Files Storage is the way it makes copies of the data. The solution also has high availability, which is excellent. Another valuable feature of Nutanix Files Storage is self-service, so users won't have to depend on the IT team much."
"Nutanix Unified Storage is a simple, user-friendly, and stable solution."
"Nutanix's analytics provide better insights into all of our files."
"I like Nutanix Prism Central. The primary benefit is that we can manage everything from the same page."
"Nutanix Objects is reliable."
"I like that you have a small dedicated file system that is fast and resilient for containerized workloads."
"Portworx virtualizes the aspects of the underlying block storage. That is good because they can also use block storage for their future deployment instead of just NFS."
"The best thing about Portworx is the Stork, they have called the VPS (Volume Replacement Strategy) and they also have topology awareness, and these are the three features I like."
"Portworx is a simple solution. It's similar to Pure Storage products. They're all easy to use and install. You need to have a little expertise with containers to use Portworx, but it will be no problem for you if you understand containers."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"A custom IBM script is designed to tackle the storage management challenges within containerized environments, providing crucial data services and features required for enterprise applications."
"The solution should increase its storage capabilities."
"Nutanix needs to improve their cybersecurity options at the storage level."
"The documentation on the support site needs to be improved."
"We have issues with software updates occasionally."
"The management is pretty clunky, in my opinion. It could be a little bit better."
"The current hardware is not as dense as it could be. In our deployment, we have 2 PB per site, and we have to have 24 nodes. That's a lot of cabling and network ports that we use up. More dense nodes would be better."
"The interface could be improved."
"The escalation process with technical support could do with some improvement."
"The documentation could be better."
"They have not integrated Portworx with Ondat since they are too focused now on Pure Storage APIs and not on users like us."
"I think the vendor could provide more training for new users who may not be familiar with containers."
"I would like to see a more native mapping to mainframe-type systems."
"The integration has room for improvement."
"It would be highly advantageous to include an integrated backup solution within the same license, rather than purchasing backup separately."
