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 have an enterprise-level backup product that we're required to use, so we don't rely on Era's version. [But] it could be an awesome first-line backup. It's very elegant the way they designed it. It's quick and it doesn't take up nearly as much storage space as traditional backups. It would definitely help to save on tier-one storage."
"The most valuable feature is its robust infrastructure management tools."
"Nutanix Era effectively reduces operational overheads by streamlining the application team's implementation of multiple environments."
"With Oracle, it took around one hour to refresh the database and now, with Nutanix, it takes a quarter of that time."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Database Service is the ability to manage multiple vendors."
"Days have been saved thanks to its provisioning utility."
"Nutanix Database Service is a scalable solution."
"The time to provision the database went from taking a couple of days to now taking a few minutes. That is the immediate impact we saw. It helped the team to focus more. They can now be focused on support rather than spending time provisioning, which is a repetitive activity."
 

Cons

"The tool needs improvement in pricing and support."
"If there were data integration services included with the platform then it would be interesting, and it would help us a lot."
"Patch management is an issue as it regularly causes stability problems."
"It should be able to be consumed by other customers because only the enterprise cloud customers are able to buy this software."
"It would be helpful if Nutanix added a billing system for databases. We need to automate this with a separate solution. We are service providers, so it would be easier for our customers if there were a built-in system that we could use for billing."
"We faced some performance issues with Nutanix."
"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."
"We are also overwhelmed with the quality of technical support associated with the product."
"The solution needs to improve compatibility with other back-ups and products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Licensing costs will be the main scalability problem."
"The price of the solution is expensive."
"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"It is amazing. The pricing compared to the time saved is nothing. It's worth the cost."
"The licensed-based pricing is confusing and too high."
"Not everyone can afford it. It's a bit expensive, so the price has to be improved."
"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."
"Pricing wasn't a surprise. It was what we were expecting it to be."
