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.

Pros

"EDB Postgres Enterprise Manager helps us to build custom files."
"The solution allows quick setting up of new development environments and ensures the use of the storage more efficiently. It manages to create new clients to be utilized for development or reporting."
"I recommend this solution to others because it saves operation time and day-to-day tasks, which is a big deal because if you're managing a big infrastructure, the operation time is critical and with the use of Nutanix Database Services, resources can be better utilized."
"Nutanix Database Service is a scalable solution."
"Overall, I don't know anything else that does what it does and I would give it a 10 out of 10."
"I wanted a tool that offers enough monitoring for everything related to load balancing in my databases."
"I like how easy it is to implement MySQL, SQL, and open-source database platforms."
"With the cloning technology in Nutanix Database Service, the time reduces to less than an hour, which is very useful."
"Management and provision are the most important features of Nutanix Database Service."
 

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."
"Nutanix Database Service can be improved by implementing more AI capabilities."
"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."
"The solution can increase its database compatibility and backup options."
"The only improvement I would suggest is making the template creation and updating process more straightforward and automated."
"The solution could improve by providing more support for more vendors."
"I would rate Nutanix technical support eight out of 10. I think they're helpful, but maybe they need more technical staff."
"Patch management is an issue as it regularly causes stability problems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is competitive."
"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"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."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
"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."
"Not everyone can afford it. It's a bit expensive, so the price has to be improved."
"Licensing costs will be the main scalability problem."
"The tool is expensive."
