Nutanix Prism Reviews

Our primary use case for Nutanix Prism is deploying web servers.

Nutanix Prism is very simple to use compared to other products. I have tried a number of tools, including VMware ESXi. Nutanix Prism is much simpler to use and we feel data transfers in it are very fast. That's why we approached them originally.

One problem I faced when creating a VM and adding a hard disk is that Nutanix Prism did not allow me to reduce that VM's hard disk. This is an issue because I could not find a solution.

Also, in a session I had with Nutanix Prism today, I was told that they are going to include Kubernetes deployment in the next release. That is a good approach from my perspective. It's important for solutions to stay on the cutting edge. 

I have been using this solution since March, so for about a year. 

Nutanix Prism is scalable. On a scale of one to five, I give it a 4.5 for scalability. 

The Nutanix Prism technical support is good. Whenever we have tried to reach them in the past, they have been available for us. I am satisfied with the technical support Nutanix Prism provides. 

The initial Nutanix Prism deployment was straightforward. We did not run into any issues. We created the CVM easily and deployed it on the cloud. We did this with the help of a Nutanix Prism support person from India. 

Nutanix Prism is a good solution. It is better than other products. I recommend it. 

We are using Nutanix Prism with our Linux systems.

Nutanix Prism is very fast compared to VMware and whatever you need to do, you can do it quickly. 

The only issue with Nutanix is that when you want to take a snapshot, you have to power down and then back up, which creates a short period of downtime. This is a negative point for Nutanix because, in our environment, downtime is not something that we get easily. VMware does not have this issue.

I would like to have more control from Prism so that you can control everything from there, as it does with vCenter.

Nutanix does not support all of the Linux distributions, so we have to use VMware in some cases.

I have been working with Nutanix for the past two years.

There is a limitation when it comes to scalability. We have a lot of tools in our environment so the resources are at about 80% capacity. In order to add more tools, we have to add another node and move the VM into another cluster. This will create downtime. Currently, we have 14 nodes.

Nutanix technical support is very good. You just log a call, they respond, and you can easily get support.

I used VMware for six years but I am now more comfortable with Nutanix. Nutanix Prism is cheaper in price and they are very supportive.

The initial setup is straightforward. I would not say that it is tough, or complex, but rather a very easy setup.

This product is cheaper than using VMware.

Nowadays, I recommend that people use Nutanix Prism. I have been using Nutanix for two years and feel that it is very good compared to VMware. I spent six years working with VMware and am more comfortable with Nutanix. They are very supportive.

My only complaints about Nutanix are that downtime is required more often and the issue with resource limitations when clustering.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

With this solution, the company stood out in its operations 100% for the reliability of the equipment, the speed, and the comfort of the base user to handle the applications. This solution gave us agility and security for the operating personnel, effective backup in the event of disasters, communication is extremely fast. One of the main needs of the company was to be fast in writing and reading data in storage, prioritizing the disks that is more frequent to use, and Nutanix Pro is very clear.

So our efforts with clients are 100% effective.

Everything has been valuable, without a doubt the server is self-managed with Prism in an efficient way, it solves possible logical errors to maintain production without interruptions, it's great.

A professional who is starting his career in this environment or scope would be very easy because everything is guided and thought logically to be understood quickly, in addition to having excellent support with immediate solutions.

From any point of view, business is feasible with Nutanix solutions is a win-win.

It seems to me that everything is in gear as it should be, every time an update or new package appears it never ceases to amaze me as it helps us with a 100% stable technology, to add something would be to have clear the new needs of the human being. Each era every year, new economies arise and ways to develop the platform to improve both the interface with the end-user and to make the main load more flexible to the specialized user of the platform. Nutanix is ​​at the forefront and changes the paradigm with other providers because it allows simplifying daily work.

We have been using Nutanix Prism for three years. 

The evaluation of other options was not carried out, we have that tool and it had to be used 100%.

We are a company that provides services to our clients so the solution is not deployed in our company. I've deployed Nutanix in multiple environments. When deploying Nutanix, Prism is installed automatically when you create a cluster. It assists in monitoring and managing the solution.

We're service providers, selling and deploying the solution to our customers. We partner with Nutanix and I'm a technical leader.

It's helpful that you can create virtual machines using Prism, you can upgrade and replicate the firmware between two different sites using Prism Element, it's not only for monitors. The duplication and compression are good features because they also work for data in a hybrid solution. Without that, compression and duplication require a whole flash stick which increases the cost. With Nutanix it can be done even if you use a hybrid solution. You can also use multiple operating systems with Nutanix.

The solution could be improved if you combined Nutanix with AHV, because when you install Prism to manage AHV, there are a lot of commands. It might be better to integrate the commands with Prism and that would enable Prism to manage AHV. This is not currently in the command line. 

I've been using this solution for two years. 

Initially we had some issues with bugs in NTP because all of the environments use NTP servers with Windows not Linux. Regular maintenance of the solution requires one person. 

The technical support at Nutanix is excellent, they've been extremely helpful. 

The initial setup is very straightforward, you can deploy it in two hours, create a cluster with three nodes and with an operating system installed on it within two hours.

This is a great product, easy to deploy and very stable. Even if you are using VMware or Hyper V or AHV on Nutanix, it's very stable.

I would rate this solution a nine out of 10. 

Our use case for this solution is hybrid. We use it for hyper-converged infrastructure and hybrid cloud management. The solution is deployed in the data centre.

The solution gives you better agility, especially concerning your physical data center footprint. It can combine the computing, storage and networks in a single location with a limited footprint physically. We can scale up and down, giving us a cloud-like behaviour when managing workload.

We have found the seamless integration feature most valuable. It offers computing, storage and network to support workloads. It is also seamless to monitor and have visibility over applications across on-premises locations and your multi-cloud environments.

The dashboard can be enhanced to provide greater visibility.

We have been using this solution for three years and are currently using the latest version.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable and can be scaled up or down as demanded.

We have had a good experience with customer service and support. I rate them an eight out of ten.

We previously used VMware, but this solution has very modern and contemporary HCI solutions, which customers find very useful. We still support VMware because their system is a good one.

The initial setup was straightforward.

Deployment was done in-house and took three to five days.

The licensing costs are provided to our customers because we are partners with Nutranix.

I rate this solution an eight out of ten. The solution is good, but the dashboard visibility could be improved.

We primarily use the solution for virtualization for virtual machines, including the Windows virtual machines in Linux.

For me, the speed of cloning virtual machines and the hyper-convergence feature are the most valuable aspects of the solution.

The solution is quite stable.

The pricing is fair. It doesn't strike me as being overly expensive. 

The solution should offer the ability to change network settings without removing the network card from the virtual machine.

I don't know the solution very well. I need more time to really explore it. What I need may already be available. 

I've been using the solution for six months. 

While the average stability is good, I find that the upgrade process of all the components of Nutanix are too slow.

I've never tried to scale the product. I can't speak to how easy or difficult it would be to do so. 

We have maybe 200 people utilizing the product right now. It's used regularly, on a daily basis. 

I've never had to reach out to technical support and therefore cannot speak to how helpful or responsive they are. I don't have any insights to share. 

I did not install the solution myself. I can't speak to any direct insights into how easy or difficult the process was. By the time I came along, everything was already up and running. 

The pricing of the product seems to be reasonable. 

The company I currently work for may have a relationship with Nutanix. I can't say for sure. They may be partners. 

I'm not sure if I am using the Pro or the regular version. I was not the person who installed it. I'm just a user. That said, we are always using the most recent version of the product.

I'd recommend the solution to others. The cost is okay.

I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

We use this solution for the single console and to manage the entire data center. We can create VMs, storage and networks. We can also manage our disaster recovery plan from a single console.

The most valuable features are those used for day-to-day operations, such as creating VMs and configuring storage. For example, it can be used to upgrade the clusters, hardware, and virtualization stack.

There are no firewall policies, and they should be added in the next release.

We have been using this solution since 2012. We are using the latest version, and it is cloud-based.

It is stable and robust.

It is scalable, and we have about six users using the solution.

The technical support is amazing.

We used VMware in the past.

The installation was straightforward and required minimal effort. It took about one hour to deploy, and we completed it ourselves.

The licensing costs are decent.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten and recommend it to others.

Our primary use case for the solution is for virtual machine management and storage management. I work as a technical support specialist and we're a customer of Nutanix.

The event management is a very valuable feature, and resource management is also very good. Their storage management is one of the best. They do very good deduplication and compression.

I think perhaps they can improve on the price but it is a good product. 

I've been using the solution for about one year.

We've contacted technical support for minor issues. Perhaps the response time could be improved but technically the customer support is very good. 

Initial setup was done by a specialist contractor who was trained on Nutanix so we didn't have any issues with setting up. They did a great job. 

We are evaluating other products such as VMWare, but that's for other solutions. 

Anyone considering the solution should give it a test run. Try it in your environment. Check if your applications or your credit systems are compatible. I would say to anyone who has the budget to go for it, it's a really good system.

There is always space for improvement so I would rate the product a nine out of 10.
