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 initial setup is easy."

"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."

"The best part is that you can integrate a two-way network. Earlier we could not manage the storage and ToR switch. Now we can create a LAN with our storage without any interface. In terms of switch management, it is now easy to understand the current configuration. It provides centralized management. It provides a single pane, and you can easily do all updates in one shot. It is a great product."

"Comprehensive dashboard, ease of use are key features."

"The easy user interface was what I found most valuable in HPE OneView. For example, if I wanted to know the infrastructure status or I needed to send in any change commands, HPE OneView had simple buttons."

"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."

"Firmware compliance is one of the most valuable features."

"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."

More HPE OneView pros

"I don't know how to explain how much time and effort switching to Nutanix HCI has saved us. It's 80 percent more time-efficient and convenient than having to use multiple interfaces to deal with storage and compute in our hypervisor."

"It's easy to spin up VMs and makes cluster maintenance easy, especially with the LCM (Life Cycle Manager) that is built-in. That helps do installs of AHV or even ESXi. You can also upgrade the AOS software that runs the Nutanix clusters. And you can upgrade the firmware, which is nice."

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

"I am very satisfied with the technical support."

"Simplicity, automation, and efficiency are some good areas associated with the tool."

"Resource monitoring is the most valuable feature."

"By using virtualization, we are saving on the cost of hardware."

"Everything is available within one console."

More Nutanix Prism pros

Cons

"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."

"It would be better if we can add every HPE device to OneView, such as MSA, as well as the other servers like the DL server and ML server."

"The solution's console can be improved by making it more user-friendly and adding the capability to filter the reports out using only the information required."

"The logs are not proper."

"I would like to see them expand into other cloud platforms, non-HPE platforms."

"Those features, coming in version 4, that we're looking for are the discovery, primarily. But I think the scope-based access control is of interest, although, we didn't see any directory integration, so that, in itself, seems like it's still limited."

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

"Specifically, it would be great if we had the ability to reapply the server profile faster."

More HPE OneView cons

"They don't have many organized documents for troubleshooting problems. If you look at the support portal or the website, you will not get detailed information about problems or redirection to more information. They should continue working on the software solution but enlarge the documentation."

"Although this solution has very good analytics capabilities, it can be even more granular."

"The process of converting and importing virtual machines to the Nutanix environment is quite complicated."

"The lifecycle management and upgrade procedure should be automated."

"Each era every year, new economies arise and ways to develop the platform to improve both the interface with the end-user and to make the main load more flexible to the specialized user of the platform."

"The licensing cost has room for improvement."

"When we get a request from a user for a file-level recovery, there are self-recovery options, but they only work if the replication is available to that cluster locally... In VMware, we could restore a VM and attach the hard drive to any other server and copy the file easily. But that kind of facility is not available in AHV."

"The solution could be a bit more user-friendly. The dashboard and configuration should be much easier to use."

More Nutanix Prism cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Use it. It is free."

"HPE could lower the price."

"I am happy with the price."

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

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

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

"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."

"The solution is free to use, but if you want the management aspect you require a virtual machine such as C7000 or Synergy which require licenses."

More HPE OneView pricing and cost advice

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

"Sangfor is cheaper than Nutanix."

"This product is cheaper than using VMware."

"A lot of my customers complain about the price of renewals, so I think that this can be improved."

"Nutanix Prism is priced better than some of the competing solutions."

"The pricing was decent, average. It wasn't a Black Friday sale, but it was good."

"As far as pricing goes, it's competitive for what you get. There are probably less expensive hyper-converged solutions, but I don't think they're as mature or have the feature set that we get with Nutanix."

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