Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) Reviews

• Single pane of glass view for all components.
• Excellent after-sales support.
• Easy updates and upgrades.

Reduced hours wasted on troubleshooting failed updates.

• Uptime
• HA
• Redundancy
• Disaster Recover (DR)

Three years.

None, except when they sent an engineer who was still new.

None.

None. It scales seemlessly. The hardest part is negotiating for the budget to do so.

The customer service is excellent.

The technical support is excellent.

3-tier infrastructure. We switched due to the complexities of multiple vendors with multiple points to blame.

It was straightforward. We used their professional services to assist with the deployment.

We used both an in-house team and a vendor team.

Not applicable.

The after-sales support is amazing and worth investing in.

None.

We have used Nutanix for three years now and have scaled and upgraded four clusters in that time with no issues.

We're looking for a solution that integrates with cloud technologies, so we want to adopt a Nutanix service.

Acropolis could help us build a cloud environment for our company.

We would like to see a cloud version of Acropolis AOS. Currently, we're trying to implement an AWS environment for some solutions, but we would like to use another technology also to enhance our organization, so we are looking for another technology for this, especially a cloud solution.

We've been trying out Acropolis for about two weeks to a month, so I'm not an expert.

It has been stable so far.

During our trial, we have 30 users, but we plan to implement for around 300 or so in the future.

I had a good experience last time I contacted Nutanix support. 

My tech team handled the setup so I can't comment on that, but it took about a week. Maybe five staff members would be enough for deployment and maintenance.

The license for Acropolis is monthly.

I rate Acropolis AOS eight out of 10. 

We are using it for hyper-converged deployments of VMs and SRM replication. It is performing very well.

SRM capabilities for replication have been proven reliable and very useful for our organization. 

We would like to see it support other systems outside of the compute stack from which it was built.

I would recommend this product to others.

Currently, we are using it for our VMware workstation. We use it to host our non-production servers.

It has seamless expandability.

Their Google operating system is more mature, so their results are much better.

I don't feel that I am receiving the performance which I am paying for.

We should have something called micro segmentation inside the Nutanix box, which can be easily implemented.

They should support more VM, which is not currently supported.

The technical support is very good.

The initial setup was straightforward.

The operating system is free.

• Simple to use
• Ergonomic

We were able to remove the following equipment from  our infrastructure: 

• EMC VNX5300
• Cisco Switch FC
• FalconStor
• Cisco UCS Servers
• A lot of cabling 

So in the end there is much less complexity to manage.

Snapshot Management needs improvement.

Ten months.

Very few, it has now been running for five to six months without any problems.

No issues.

Excellent, thiis the best area. Very efficient.

SAN, EMC VNX5300, FalconStor, Switch Cisco FC and CISCO UCS Servers.

Simple move, two to three days max.

Needs to be negotiated.

HPE Simplivity.

Using a hyperconverged system, network backbone, becomes more critical.

Nutanix Acropolis AOS is easy to use, it is a great platform.

In the future, I would like to see multi-tenancy in Nutanix Acropolis AOS.

I have used Nutanix Acropolis AOS for approximately six years.

The scalability is very easy. You plug in another node and that's it.

The support provided for Nutanix Acropolis AOS is very good. They know the products well, if you have any error on a cluster or any problem with workloads on Nutanix, the engineer's support is great.

The initial setup was very simple. You only need to deploy the clusters and Nutanix configures all the clusters. In one day we were in production. When comparing the process to the VMware solution, it is less complex.

The solution could be a little less expensive.

If you want to run Nutanix on Windows, you have to pay for a license and if you want to have an Oracle Database, you have to pay a license for Oracle.

With the simplicity of the deployment and the one-click operations over the cluster, Nutanix Acropolis AOS is a good solution. You have to have cloud experience.

I rate Nutanix Acropolis AOS a ten out of ten.

We use Nutanix Acropolis AOS as an HCI platform.

The most valuable feature I have found to be the Acropolis Hypervisor (AHV).

Nutanix Acropolis AOS could improve by adding some NAS features, similar to the ones that are available in the NetApp solution.

I have been using Nutanix Acropolis AOS for approximately five years.

The solution provides good stability.

The solution is scalable, most of our customers are enterprise companies.

We have received good technical support. However, they do not support all partners the same, it is difficult for some to get involved.

This version of the solution is easy to install compared to the previous one. Additionally, configuring data storage, such as EMC or NetApp, has become a lot easier.

The price of the solution is high.

This solution is one o the top platforms in its class.

I rate Nutanix Acropolis AOS an eight out of ten.

We have multiple use cases. We use this for desktop infrastructure, virtualization, general virtual machines, as well as private cloud use cases.

Any feature related to the performance, like data locality, compression, and deduplication are all very important features.

We could always use a performance upgrade, or simplified management.

The features I would most like to see added would be: compatibility for HV, improvement to the cloud features, and more private features.

It is very stable. We have only had really small issues, and some of it was resolved with my Nutanix support.

Nutanix is very powerful. We have many customers with a number of nodes in the same cluster.

The Nutanix support team is very, very powerful.

Setup was very straightforward. We deployed our own service implementation deployment for four years. I am the consultant. We have a team for deployment, with five engineers.

Pricing varies greatly between license and editions. The license also changes in by number of users. So, it's a little difficult to calculate the license cost.

I would rate Nutanix as nine out of ten. A perfect ten is very challenging to acheive, but I think nine is basically perfect.
