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.

Efficiently manage virtual machines with robust disaster recovery

Nutanix Prism is mainly used for our daily operations, similar to VMware. Despite the lack of extraordinary features, it efficiently manages our daily operations now that we are managing our VMs. One of the most useful features is the disaster recovery setup, which includes two clusters, one for our production server and another for our recovery site.

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."

"What I like the most are the self-healing and the ability to see everything at a glance, from metrics to the resiliency status of the hardware. As soon as you log in, that's what you see."

"Simplicity of use."

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

"The most valuable features are Prism Central and the Disaster Recovery."

"The HTML5 interface is very robust."

"The centralized management of Nutanix Prism is the best feature."

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

"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."

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 initial setup is extremely complex. I am Nutanix Certified, so I had the ability, but there were still things that we weren't trained in. They mandate—not recommend, but mandate—having an approved installer do it, and it was a very painful process. The installer that we took from CDW was not good, in the extreme. I had to go back to Nutanix directly and get all the problems fixed."

"The replication we have does not have any backup systems built-in. We have to separate license records for backup, like onboard. We would like to have this in a future release."

"There are a few areas related to visibility on the dashboard that can be improved. It's good, but the visibility can be improved in terms of single locations."

"There can be some constraints on how it scales, making granular scaling difficult with the product."

"Nutanix Prism can be more stable because it's not as stable as VMware."

"There are some things that you can only do via the command line. Over the years that I've been using Nutanix, they've slowly integrated those into Prism, but they're still trying to catch up with a solution that has been around longer, like VMware."

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

"The pricing could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

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

"The license we bought for Nutanix Prism is perpetual, so once you have it, you can keep on using it. It's a three-year license that's paid one time. The license we have covers the three-node cluster."

"A lot of my customers complain about the price of renewals, so I think that this can be improved."

"The pricing is comparable to other software initiatives."

"Nutanix Prism is affordable. It depends on the category of license you select. They have multiple options, and we selected the one that was suitable for our infrastructure and requirements. The licensing model worked for us."

"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 pricing is one factor that could be better. The cluster licensing and how it works is another."
