Quick and easy deployment; great recovery

Veeam should work more closely with vCenter. Sometimes the Veeam backup can cause errors that can affect some of operations within the VMware machines. I cannot say whether the bug is with VMware or Veeam, but the companies should work together on this. Also, when something breaks, it's not easy for us to fix. I'm running a banking solution at my company and when there's a problem, I need to be proactive and quick to resolve the problem immediately. Any time I spend on the phone with technical support translates into losses for my company. So, training would be very beneficial. Empower me to use your product efficiently. It would also be nice for long-term customers to receive some sort of recognition in terms of price reduction.

Provides comprehensive management with AI-driven insights and predictive analytics for seamless IT operations

The major improvement recommended for Nutanix Prism is more multi-cloud cost optimization. It shows performance and usage but is limited in detailed cross-cloud cost analysis. Improvement is needed for deeper FinOps-style ML insights that compare costs between on-premise, AWS, Azure, etc. Enhancements for the current mobile version of Prism are necessary as its functions are limited. Full mobile native control with real-time alerts and AI suggestions are required for one-click actions. Better integration with third-party tools and predictive maintenance for hardware is needed; currently, the focus is on VM and storage, not hardware life cycle. Predictions for node-level hardware failures or SSD wear-out, fan sensor alerts in advance are essential improvements, as is AI-based security threat detection focusing on unusual login patterns such as ransomware behavior or privilege escalations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"My experience with the solution's technical support was perfect. They are so knowledgeable, all of them. They don't take any chances."

"The most valuable feature is the solution's single-pane-of-glass approach to consolidating all of the various metrics and interfaces that I would typically have to access via multiple screens in other products. The ease of use would probably be the single biggest selling point."

"It's easy to spin up VMs and makes cluster maintenance easy, especially with the LCM (Life Cycle Manager) that is built-in. That helps do installs of AHV or even ESXi. You can also upgrade the AOS software that runs the Nutanix clusters. And you can upgrade the firmware, which is nice."

"Prism Central is a single point to manage every cluster. Everything can be managed in one panel. Everything is there on the main page of the dashboard."

"The solution's technical support is helpful and responsive."

"Duplication and compression work for data in a hybrid solution."

"Prism's best features include the single point of failure (SPOF) and ease of implementation."

"The most valuable feature is that, when you log in, you have customized dashboards. You can add widgets to those dashboards and you can change the density of certain data points in the dashboards. When I log in, I quickly see where the cluster lies, as far as memory and CPU resources go."

"I don't know how to explain how much time and effort switching to Nutanix HCI has saved us. It's 80 percent more time-efficient and convenient than having to use multiple interfaces to deal with storage and compute in our hypervisor."

Cons

"When something breaks, it's not easy for us to fix. I'm running a banking solution at my company and when there's a problem, I need to be proactive and quick to resolve the problem immediately."

"The interface is good, but it needs improvements. There are a lot of functions that are only available in the CLI. In addition, some of the hardware components could be improved. We already had some trouble with disks."

"The solution does not support creating hybrid disc clusters."

"Although this solution has very good analytics capabilities, it can be even more granular."

"One thing I would like to see is one-click migration. I know that's on the roadmap, but we don't have it yet."

"Sometimes the life cycle management function of Nutanix can't find the latest version of the firmware. The lifecycle management product could be more up-to-date."

"Nutanix is a great product, but I won't say it is a data center product. If it could leverage or work with non-Nutanix infrastructure, it would be a total data center solution. Right now, with Prism Central, we can only manage Nutanix clusters."

"It doesn't integrate very well with any backup solution."

"There is a bug with the HTML5 interface."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"I consider it a worthwhile investment."

"Nutanix Prism is not inexpensive but not very expensive, given the features we get. It's cost-effective."

"The good thing about Nutanix Prism is that we don't have to pay for a hypervisor, but their licensing cost is a little bit on the high side."

"Nutanix Prism is priced better than some of the competing solutions."

"The license for Prism is costlier than other VMs."

"Compared to VMware, the price of this solution is great."

"Prism is cheaper compared to competitors like Cisco HyperFlex or HP vSAN."

"I rate the product price as an eight out of ten."
