For how long have I used the solution?

Flow is very new in the market. I have two or three years of experience with the solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

You can increase the nodes and scale the application as needed quite easily.

How are customer service and support?

Nutanix has many call centers worldwide, and you can get an answer on any question quickly. 

How was the initial setup?

The solution is very easy to deploy. Usually, you don't need to make any configuration at all in your hypervisor. It is configured in the micro-segmentation session.


What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Nutanix Flow is not very expensive. Primary is license by Host

There are no hidden fees. You only pay for how many nodes you'd like to implement in your clusters, and the plans are subscription-based. So you pay for three years at a time, and it's not expensive.

What other advice do I have?

My advice is the network needs to be set up properly, and you need to diagram all of your traffic before implementing to make your troubleshooting easier.

I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.
