Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) Reviews

Nutanix Prism.

Nutanix provides the best migration to cloud platform. It has helped our company aggregate most of our workloads into a centralized platform improving the efficiency for the IT team and infrastructure resources. Throughout the journey, Nutanix provides the best support that we have ever had, from solution providers and vendors, adding big value to our operations and support our SLAs with our customers.

We have achieved great stability and scalability with Nutanix. We are currently running Hyper-V in Nutanix. After setting it up, we are very happy with the provisioning of new VMs as we do not need to worry about space requirements.

Three years.

Implementation was a breeze.

Initially, we had some issues with the deployment and it was resolved in future updates by the great technical support from Nutanix.

We have not faced any issues with scalability. It is one of the best features.

An eight out of 10.

Initial setup was little bit troublesome, but we received very good technical support from Nutanix

It really is worth the price you spend.

No.

• Small footprint
• Scalability
• Price when compared to other computer/storage solutions is better value

We are using it for an internal VDI solution and proof of concept for other possible projects.

None, everything is working great and I don't currently have any suggestions.

We installed it in the middle of January 2015.

No issues encountered.

I've had to contact them a few times about minor first use things and they responded quickly and with great detail.

It was very easy, and very smooth.

They sent an engineer to help us set it up on site, and he walked us through the implementation.

We were pretty cut-throat on the pricing but we also bought it at the end of the year so we most likely got a good deal so they could make their numbers. We also only bought one year of support to keep the price within the project budget.

We investigated several other products and went with this one due to their demo and in depth sales pitch.

For the industry they are in, Nutanix is some amazing stuff. Even if we don't expand our footprint with them, I will personally be keeping up with their technology.

It's an all-in-one solution.

Faster iOPs, and it frees up network traffic.

It would be nice to have larger HDDs.

I've used it for over one year.

No issues encountered.

It's excellent, but expensive.

It's excellent, but expensive.

I resell all MFGs and needed to replace everything, as my customer wanted to keep his core systems off the network.

A Nutanix engineer helped in all phases of the installation, and it was very easy.

Our engineers were contracted to install, and with the Nutanix engineers it went off without a hitch.

The ROI is gained within two years.

I would seriously look at a less expensive support solution. I’d be surprised if a customer calls more than a few times on their support.

If you are looking for a computer, power, networking and storage solution, this is a great option.

Our primary use case is infrastructure consolidation and it has performed fine.

The benefits are consolidation. That's always a benefit. I wouldn't say it has necessarily improved the way that the organization functions. It just takes up less space.

• Price
• Ease of use

I don't have any requests for features. It does everything that I need it to do, and then some.

It's very stable.

I switched because I got tired of paying support renewals for three different companies.

My most important criteria when selecting a vendor are ease of use and price.

The initial setup was very straightforward.

I evaluated EMC as well. I went with Nutanix because of the price.

I rate it a nine out of 10 because I think there is still room for improvement on the price.

My advice is to take your time and evaluate everything.

The Prism interface is valuable. It is very easy to manage, is based on HTML5, and all CVMs are able to assume the management role. They are not the SPOF.

Nutanix makes it easier for us to grow as the organization needs more resources. We can add more blocks and nodes in a granular way. This is unlike a traditional infrastructure that is initially invested in for four or five years.

I would like to see asynchronous replication in less than 60 minutes, or even in 15 minutes. I understand that they are working to lower replication times to one minute or less.

We have used this solution for two years.

There have been no stability issues.

There have been no scalability issues. On the contrary, it is easy to scale and approve new resources.

Technical support is fast, in our language, very efficient, and they have a great level of technical knowledge.

We used VMware vSAN. I did not change solutions for anything in particular. It was a decision of the organization, based on a corporate strategy.

The setup was very simple. It was simpler than any other solution.

If we compare prices with a three-tier environment, servers, and storage plus virtualization and licenses of VMware or Hyper-V, Nutanix has its own free hypervisor. It also natively incorporates backup and disaster recovery solution for free.

We evaluated VMware vSAN and HPE VSA.

Nutanix is a converged system with web-scale technology. The technology is invisible to the IT department. You can focus on your business, instead of making IT a problem in your organization.

My major use case is the Nutanix distributed file system based on the NDFS file system, which allows customers to consolidate and reposition.

The most valuable features are the user-friendly dashboard and that we don't need to move resources manually when adding new nodes into running clusters.

In the future, I would like Acropolis to add support for publishing external storage.

Acropolis is pretty stable - it works perfectly within the production environment.

This solution is scalable - I can go up to a 64 node cluster from a 3 node cluster. In one organization, I configured around 316 nodes, distributed across file locations, the biggest implementation even in Asia-Pacific.

The setup was straightforward, taking between 15 days and a month.

I would rate this solution eight out of ten.

• One-click hypervisor and firmware upgrade
• Snapshots and clones
• Compression and deduplication
• Backup and disaster recovery

It's easy to manage with the one-click hypervisor and firmware upgrade.

We can also store data more efficiently with compression and deduplication.

I have nothing to suggest.

I've used it for two and a half years.

No issues encountered.

It's good.

It's good.

We did, and we switched because Nutanix is easier to manage and configure.

It's simple, just a few clicks are needed to configure it.

We used a mixed team.

You should look into this product if you are looking for a good piece of technology.

I use it for electronic VPN management and HR applications.

The most valuable features are its ease of use and its good performance.

The product could be improved with more security. The product needs a bit more experience in the market. I think you don't have the possibility to add other hardware. It could be improved with the ability to add and extend.

Stability, in my opinion, is very good.

Scalability from my impression of the solution is that it's very good. We have 300 users.

My experience with customer support has been good. They're quick in response and offer quality help.

Previously, we used VMware. But it's a completely different solution with a different platform.

The initial setup was straightforward. It wasn't complex; it was easy to setup. Deployment took about 2 to 3 hours maximum. We require five people for deployment and maintenance.

When it came time to implement, we have our own service provider, so we went with them.

The advice I would give would be to ensure you choose the right configuration.

I like the product very much. I would say use it as a solution. I would rate this solution 8 out of 10.
