What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Nutanix Unified Storage?

Nutanix Unified Storage isn't expensive.

It seems to me that the price difference from a traditional infrastructure is a little high, but I do believe that it is totally worth the investment.

The solution's pricing is fair.

In my opinion, the product is fairly priced. I would not be surprised if, in the near future, there is a rise in the prices associated with the tool's licensing models.

I do not have visibility of the pricing and licensing.

The product is neither cheap nor expensive, making it a solution offering a price range that is in the middle. The use of licenses offered by the product is an area that is complicated, especially since my company has so many clusters, for which a couple of different licenses are required for different companies with different licenses. With so many clusters in place, the licensing part gets complicated. Previously, with EBX, my company had to deal with license-related expenses from the US end. My company is learning how to deal with the tool's licensing model so that it can be made easier for us to deal with in the future.

I had to do with the licensing for Nutanix Objects Storage (NOS). While NOS comes with one terabyte of free space, if you actually want to use it, even just for development reasons, we have to buy some terras, or otherwise, it wouldn't work.

Nutanix's licensing model isn't too difficult, but the price is high for Brazil, and the software renewal is considerable.

I'm very happy with the solution's pricing. I'm using iOS Pro licensing. I'm really happy because I have the benefit of getting one terabyte for free, which is sufficient for my use cases. I'm happy with the cost and licensing because I don't have big volumes. I have a little bit of volume to consume without added cost. So, it's perfect for me.

The pricing is very good. Compared to Dell and VMware, it's very good. VMware cost has doubled.

My company is in Brazil, and making the payments in dollars is tough for our organization.

I do not have visibility on the pricing. My understanding is that the team sees the pricing is fair for what we get.

It is above my role. I am not the one who makes the calls, but it seems to me that it was very competitive. Other solutions would have required dedicated hardware, so an additional CapEx has to be put in place. In that sense, it was definitely a more competitive option to go with Nutanix Files. We did not get storage for every node just for the sake of adding files, but it was a wider solution for that.

I don't mind the licensing. It's very simple to license. The pricing structure changed last year. The price seems fair.

The price can always be improved. As a customer, you always seek reasonable solutions within your budget, and they give us little to do a lot. My IT team always has to justify that we are choosing an optimal solution, so the price could be a little lower.

The solution's pricing is better compared to other products.

It is not too high for what we are using.

The pricing and licensing could be hard. The customers have a problem with the pricing model. Customers don't understand the core licensing model.

The solution’s pricing could be cheaper.

The licensing model the tool has is cheaper than an HCI storage solution. You can get a straightforward compression feature in Nutanix Unified Storage, which is better than buying a SAN solution of eight terabytes for 1,000 USD. If you have some complexities and some requirements, or if the users operate in a government agency or in a VDI environment, depending on how you like to use it, it is better to use a solution from Nutanix instead of an all-modern block storage tool.

I hope that it will stay the way it is. We have seen the changes in VMware and what happened to them. I have heard that Nutanix will raise the prices, but I hope that they will not do that.

The pricing is a bit too high. I would like more flexibility.

Unified Storage is reasonably priced compared to other platforms. The license is neither costly nor cheap, but it's reasonable.

Nutanix is priced a bit higher than some of its competitors. A lot of Chinese companies like Huawei are entering the Saudi Arabian market trying to provide similar solutions for a lower price. It offers good value, especially the support. Nutanix has a highly competent team. The after-sales support is excellent.

Nutanix Unified Storage was cheaper than other solutions we evaluated.

Nutanix is cost-effective because we don't need to upgrade our infrastructure. It's cheaper than the alternatives.

The solution is highly-priced.

Compared to other solutions, Nutanix Unified Storage is cost-effective and efficient. It also has good performance.

It's not the cheapest solution. It's in line with other solutions, but it offers features that the competitors don't have at any price point, especially with regard to analytics and ransomware prevention. No one else has any sort of object-based storage available. Nutanix Unified Storage is a lot more feature-rich. This is a situation where you get what you pay for.

The product is pricey. The pricing makes sense when running Nutanix Clusters just for files, but when running it to do everything, the per-terabyte limit gets a little pricey.

With all of the Nutanix equipment, the licensing is expensive. We operate in the enterprise space, but we're a midsized company. At times, the price tag is a little bit shocking for a company with only 35 employees. We're not a Fortune 500 company, but we deal with Fortune 500 drug and energy companies. We have to play in that enterprise space if we're going to have enterprise customers. I'm very price-conscious, but I understand that if I want the best, I've got to pay the price.

The license is paid on a yearly basis and they're quite expensive. I would rate their pricing plan an eight, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.
