Improves time management by reducing database provisioning time
The feature I appreciate the most in Nutanix Database Service is the Time Machine. The simplicity of the Time Machine feature in Nutanix Database Service and being able to have a point in time that you can go back to at whatever your retention period is, is really great and helpful for us. The Time Machine feature in Nutanix Database Service has definitely reduced turnaround time for when we need clones or other environments spun up off of our existing environment, such as for corruption. It has helped the workload significantly. We're a very small team of database administrators. It worked really effectively for them and helped the workflow much more than our previous solution. Using Nutanix Database Service has reduced the time it takes to provision a database by 75%. The efficiency gained by using Nutanix Database Service has led to a positive impact on our business as far as bringing in new applications and workloads. Being able to clone and spin up other environments off of what we already have in NDB eases turnaround time when requests come in, and we're able to fill them and get them back to the business and make them available to customers. We've been able to automate DBA tasks. It simplifies turnaround time. Our DBA can deploy on how own and no longer waits for requests to be fulfilled.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"EDB Postgres Enterprise Manager helps us to build custom files."
"We use the solution to save costs and simplify operations."
"What I appreciate the most about Nutanix Database Service is that it's simple; it's all in one bundle, and everything is pre-configured so that you can deploy your database and protect it."
"My advice for anybody who is looking into using Nutanix Era is to go ahead and implement it because this is a good solution that will help the IT department to manage and troubleshoot the database workloads, reduce the time needed by teams for troubleshooting and deploying databases, make life easy for database management, and is one that you can rely on."
"This is a very useful solution for database management."
"Management and provision are the most important features of Nutanix Database Service."
"The efficiency gained by using Nutanix Database Service has led to a positive impact on our business as far as bringing in new applications and workloads."
"With the cloning technology in Nutanix Database Service, the time reduces to less than an hour, which is very useful."
"The Time Machine is the most valuable feature for us. Using it means that we don't have to take regular snapshots, yet we are still able to restore the database quickly in the event of a problem."
 

Cons

"The tool needs improvement in pricing and support."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"The updating of the database engine is something that can be improved. For example, assume that we are using PostgreSQL out of the box, and it is version 10. If we want to migrate to version 11, 12, or 13, then it is not very easy to do that using Nutanix Era."
"Nutanix Database Service could be improved by making it just a little bit less complex regarding the interface. That said, it's definitely in the right direction."
"I would like to see the SQL compatibility enhanced."
"I don't have a comprehensive answer because we're not utilizing it extensively."
"It should be able to be consumed by other customers because only the enterprise cloud customers are able to buy this software."
"Nutanix Database Service can be improved by enhancing logging; when we're trying to look for errors, one of the hiccups we always run into is that it's very hard to pinpoint and look through the logs."
"Technical support is slow sometimes. Because the talent is not available in India, sometimes we need to accelerate calls to the US or another region, which takes time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is competitive."
"Era is quite expensive. The thing that will be a showstopper for them in the long run is if you look at it from a technical perspective on what it provides and weigh it up against consolidation of multiple other software suites."
"The tool is expensive."
"It is amazing. The pricing compared to the time saved is nothing. It's worth the cost."
"I wasn't involved much with the pricing and setup costs and licenses. The pricing was as expected."
"The price of the solution is expensive."
"Not everyone can afford it. It's a bit expensive, so the price has to be improved."
"It's priced fairly... It's a good value. When you go looking for something from Oracle that automates things and makes your life easier, it's always going to be a minimum of $500,000. Era's nothing like that."
