    Enhancing database management with operational efficiency but needs better compatibility
    Era should be compatible with various environments, such as VMware and Red Hat, to be hypervisor agnostic. Due to increasing adoption among enterprise clients, integration with Kubernetes platforms is also needed. Furthermore, the product can benefit from improving its understanding of architectural setup and communicating its limitations to users and partners.

    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 straightforward. It's very easy to implement the solution. Deployment took about one hour. You only need one person for deployment and maintenance, so long as that person has a good background of administration and operation."
    "What I like about this solution is that it's more reliable compared to other solutions."
    "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."
    "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."
    "Nutanix Era effectively reduces operational overheads by streamlining the application team's implementation of multiple environments."
    "The provisioning and other features of Nutanix Database Service have improved my company by making it easy to deploy the databases, and DBAs can just deploy what they need as needed instead of having to manually create VMs for them individually and install the databases and setting everything up with DBAs provisioning databases themselves."
    "Days have been saved thanks to its provisioning utility."
    "There are a lot of options for working with the database."
    "It has wizards that are very helpful in the installation, and it handles automation as well as virtualization once deployed."

    Cons

    "The solution could use better dashboards for new users. They can look complicated until you get used to using the solution."
    "There will always be room for improvement, there is nothing perfect from day one. There are some technical challenges that we have with NDS. I believe with time it will be sorted out."
    "Era should be compatible with various environments, such as VMware and Red Hat, to be hypervisor agnostic."
    "There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
    "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."
    "The initial setup was a little tedious and complex. If they could make the setup slightly more user-friendly, then that would definitely be beneficial. If they could give a clear indication of what ports are required across the business and multiple VLANs, then your prep work can be done beforehand and before you do the actual installation. Because the documentation that was provided was not 100 percent accurate, so we had to do a lot of custom firewall rules after we deployed Nutanix Era."
    "This solution could be improved by integrating with more database providers."
    "Patch management is an issue as it regularly causes stability problems."
    "I don't have a comprehensive answer because we're not utilizing it extensively."
