Provides firmware compliance and the ability to connect to iPO

I've been involved in various upgrades. It's pretty easy to set up with vCenter. We just push out an appliance template in vCenter. We run ours on virtual servers. Deployment can be done by just one person. The number of people needed for maintenance will depend on your server inventory. If you have more than 100 servers, you will need three to five people. If you have 500 to 1,000 servers, you will need a team of 10 to 20 people.

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

"The OneView Global Dashboard is very user-friendly and it can be used for monitoring the power consumption and temperature of the data center and racks."

"Easy to see if all my servers are on correct firmware levels, with SPP packaging."

"Just the ability to provision the servers with storage and network everything within one interface, not having to go into multiple interfaces to provision those pieces."

"Profile templates: The ability to generate the profiles and lay them down so the servers are built consistently. I would say that's probably the biggest piece of it."

"Provides the strongest support for automation."

"Gives the business interfaces to view real-time pictures of IT business services."

"OneView provides a single console, which is manageable without physical access."

"We cannot function without this solution. "

More HPE OneView pros

"I am extremely satisfied with Nutanix Prism, giving it a rating of nine out of ten."

"The features that I have found most valuable are its storage flexibility, linear scalability, and perhaps ease of use and powerful support."

"Everything has been valuable, without a doubt the server is self-managed with Prism in an efficient way, it solves possible logical errors to maintain production without interruptions, it's great."

"Nutanix has one of the greatest support organizations that I've ever had to use. They're polite, you get someone on the phone fast, and they always find a solution for you."

"It provides a single pane of glass and the graphics and the presentation are quite good. It's quite exciting for me. I would rate it 10 out of 10. The user interface is pretty easy to use for compute and storage."

"Prism's best features include the single point of failure (SPOF) and ease of implementation."

"The solution is a high-performance platform that effectively handles three-layered issues like SA and network fiber cables."

"The ability to do snapshots is fantastic. It does a great job. Not only do snapshots work great, but you can take a snapshot on the fly. The snapshot takes a second to complete. You can then make a change and test it out to see if it works. If you have any problem, just roll it right back."

More Nutanix Prism pros

Cons

"We've had a few issues. We just upgraded to the 3.9.0 version. We think that now that we are on that version, hopefully a lot of those things are going to go away for us."

"There was a feature called HPE cloud manager, but now it is owned by Micro Focus. HPE should make a cloud optimizer again."

"I have to chop it up into smaller parts, because I have an installation in Europe and it covers the whole world. That is not so good. They need to be more localized, so I am going to chop it up into smaller bits."

"The solution could add storage, integration services, and end-to-end support for Cisco switches or other competitor products."

"The interface is a bit bland. It does its job, but it could have a better interface."

"The tool doesn't send automated alerts via email...We should be able to receive notification emails when a server or hardware issue arises, which would be helpful if someone is unavailable in the office."

"I believe the prices of HPE OneView should be reduced, as it is quite expensive."

"The network configuration part of HPE OneView needs improvement. The solution has way too many features, and there's a need for proper configuration indicators to be put in place."

More HPE OneView cons

"The cost is a negative aspect."

"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."

"I would like to see the integration of native, one-click "open support ticket" functionality for errors generated by the system within Prism. Currently, we have to manually open a support ticket in a separate web browser and manually input the error information."

"Nutanix is a great product, but I won't say it is a data center product. If it could leverage or work with non-Nutanix infrastructure, it would be a total data center solution. Right now, with Prism Central, we can only manage Nutanix clusters."

"The interface is good, but it needs improvements. There are a lot of functions that are only available in the CLI. In addition, some of the hardware components could be improved. We already had some trouble with disks."

"Some of the products are not interoperable for multi-cloud or multi-site tasks."

"With our previous storage solutions or hardware platforms, when there was a failing component, the replacement component was shipped out the next day. There was no user interaction needed for that process. With Nutanix, sometimes I have to open the ticket to begin the hardware issue... The process itself is not extremely clear and I've been assured that that process will be improved in the very near future."

"I would like to have some cluster management tools included."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."

"HPE could lower the price."

"Use it. It is free."

"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."

"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."

"HPE had some other solutions, but they were actually quite expensive to buy. So, when OneView came along, it was kind of reasonable in terms of price for licenses, etc."

"When it comes to the government, money is never an issue, so it was excellent in terms of the HPE OneView licensing cost. Hitachi was cheaper, but I'd rate HPE OneView cost-wise as eight out of ten."

"I am happy with the price."

More HPE OneView pricing and cost advice

"Prism is cheaper compared to competitors like Cisco HyperFlex or HP vSAN."

"Nutanix Prism is not inexpensive but not very expensive, given the features we get. It's cost-effective."

"The good thing about Nutanix Prism is that we don't have to pay for a hypervisor, but their licensing cost is a little bit on the high side."

"The pricing is comparable to other software initiatives."

"Nutanix Prism is quite an expensive solution compared to VMware."

"The licensing aspect is painful. We are told, "This is when you have to renew. This is the serial number and the part number," et cetera. But it's difficult to know where something belongs unless you dive into the portal and search in multiple areas for a particular serial number."

"We have spent a lot of money on the Nutanix solution with Prism. Yet, for this amount of money we could be buying high-end storage with a lot of IOPS and bandwidth, even more than with Nutanix."

"Nutanix is a little pricier, but the features it has are worth it."
