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."

"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."

"Days have been saved thanks to its provisioning utility."

"AI has been deployed within Nutanix. It's very easy to provision the machine within minutes of the application orders. They can hand those over and work along with the AI team to get the data available quickly for business analysis."

"I wanted a tool that offers enough monitoring for everything related to load balancing in my databases."

"Nutanix Era effectively reduces operational overheads by streamlining the application team's implementation of multiple environments."

"The patching is the most valuable feature. We spent a lot of time and effort on the patching of our SQL instances after hours. With Nutanix Era, you can schedule and automate them during your normal operational hours (during the day). You schedule all the patching, then everything happens automatically with minor tickets from the engineer. So, our patching, which took four hours, went down to an hour for the engineer. This is much better for us from a return on investment perspective."

"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 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."

Cons

"The tool needs improvement in pricing and support."

"We have a regular license program because it's really expensive."

"The graphical user interfaces could be much more user-friendly. They are already user-friendly, but they could be simpler so that we do not need L3 staff to handle them. If they were simpler, we could also have some command center or L1/L1.5 associates do some housekeeping activities on it."

"The solution could improve by providing more support for more vendors."

"Patch management is an issue as it regularly causes stability problems."

"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."

"Era should be compatible with various environments, such as VMware and Red Hat, to be hypervisor agnostic."

"Their support is helpful, but maybe they need more technical staff. Their response was slow once, but that was the only time it happened, so I'm not sure."

"The downside of this solution is that it's more expensive than its competitors."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The price of the solution is expensive."

"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 licensed-based pricing is confusing and too high."

"Licensing costs will be the main scalability problem."

"This solution is reasonably priced."

"The tool is expensive."

"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"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."
