Account Manager at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
Integrates seamlessly, is simple to install, and has responsive internal technical support
It comes in three sizes: small, medium, and large. There is no problem with scalability or thresholds. It holds up. We have slightly more than 3,000 users globally. The users are everywhere spanning from sales, product development, cost management, professional services, support, and value management are all covered. In my opinion, it's a 100% uptake. There is no second solution. If you don't utilize it you can't do your job.

Global Group CIO, CTO, Cdo & CISO at a real estate/law firm with 201-500 employees
Centralized multi-cloud management has simplified automation and boosted operational efficiency
Some downsides of Nutanix Cloud Manager (NCM) are that it has very high cost and licensing complexity, particularly for smaller environments, making it more suited for larger environments. On the learning curve and support, while Nutanix Cloud Manager (NCM) is user-friendly in some areas, the initial setup is complex and sometimes requires very specialized expertise, creating a steep learning curve. There is also limited third-party integration, as it has very limited non-native integrations compared to competitors. The documentation has gaps, particularly for advanced features, requiring some improvement, and certain advanced configurations and troubleshooting still require heavy reliance on the command-line interface rather than having a GUI.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the user interface, which is extremely simple and very modern compared to other similar software available."
"It's easy to control resources and govern the resources, and it frees up support to focus on other things without having to help developers."
"I would describe my experience with deploying Nutanix Cloud Manager (NCM) as very simple."
"We use Calm's one-click self-service feature and it's really transforming the team's efficiency. The teams are used to being reactive, which is typical of what you find in IT organizations and service providers. Customers run into problems and teams react. What we're trying to do is reduce that slope and be more proactive in approach. The one-click ability is enabling us to take some of those activities and put them into operation, versus people manually responding."
"As I see in this current scenario and today, Nutanix cost and pricing is lower than the different OEM or vendor options."
"The fact that these are non-technical people — they're experts in their fields but they're definitely not technical — and they can just log in to the portal and select the resource that they believe they need, and manage it themselves, speaks to the ease of use. It shows them their live costs, etc., as they're spending. The fact that they can do that without any problems, or having to engage the IT teams, is a true testament to it. There's no need for any user training at all."
"Nutanix Prism Pro has improved the quality and efficiency of our organization's infrastructure team operations throughout our entire datacenter."
"The major attraction point of Nutanix Cloud Manager (NCM) is that everything is auto-scaling."
"The best features of Nutanix Cloud Manager (NCM) start with the combination of cost and what is really under the hood, and it basically does the same thing that VMware does."
 

Cons

"Pricing and partner support could be improved."
"I would appreciate seeing more in-depth features in the Intelligent Operations piece."
"When comparing Nutanix Cloud Manager (NCM) with other competitive portfolio products, there is some lack of capabilities."
"What could make Nutanix Cloud Manager (NCM) a ten would be tighter integration of the agentic behavior."
"The stability of Nutanix Cloud Manager (NCM) is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I would appreciate more advanced networking features in the dashboard."
"Nutanix is one of two stacks where you can run everything you like. It would be nice if you could run it without the Nutanix appliance. Some clients don't use Nutanix engineering server hardware, so it would be helpful to run the Nutanix software for demos and tests."
"I would rate the technical support from NCM at a five."
"LCM could be our second favorite feature right up there with One-Click Upgrades if it worked as smoothly but We have had a few issues with LCM but those appear to have been related to OEM hardware vendor not in sync with Nutanix software, not sure how this could be improved in the future."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"According to what I've heard and understood, it's on the pricey side."
"Nutanix costs more than Hyper-V, but the price is reasonable for the features we're getting. We have better support, analytics, reporting, and other capabilities that we didn't have before. That is more than enough to justify the cost. The hardware we purchased from Nutanix was priced fairly. The primary costs are software and support. It's a subscription-based service, which can be bad or good, depending on how you look at that. For me, it makes perfect sense. We get regular updates and can get support when we need it."
"For Ecuador, this is a sensitive issue. It is a small economy, so the issue of budget is very sensitive. You find many small businesses and government clients who do not renew, for example, support or guarantees, which raises the risk level for them. We are always advising them that it is necessary to renew the services or infrastructure."
"Nutanix Cloud Manager's pricing is fair at the moment."
"Nutanix changes its licensing models frequently, and it is difficult to figure out how and what is included in which package."
"Prism Pro is a bit more upfront. It costs a bit more for some of the features that you get. We have four clusters, and two of them don't have Prism Pro because they weren't even available with what we bought. Those two clusters also run well, but they don't have all the features."
"Compared to Dell HCI, Nutanix is a lot cheaper."
"Don't unlicense your Prism licensing. Pro is the strict minimum for real infrastructure. Go with at least Pro and not with the starter. Ultimate was the best choice for me."
"In my opinion, the pricing is reasonable."
