Integrated with the personal files and knowledge management processes but is expensive
The customer is a company in Thailand. They use Nutanix Cloud Clusters for file sharing and integrate with personal file share and knowledge management. Our customer attaches a file service with a login and connects with WiFi for cloud content, such as second documents or email access files…

Suitable for OCI environment but needs to improve pricing
We haven’t had any problems with the setup of Oracle. The deployment will take less than seven to ten days since it can give good reports. For deployment, we first need to understand the customer requirements and build the architecture around the deployment. We have the customer sign off on it and then go into the software deployment side. This is the proper life cycle of how to do it in the enterprise space. There are a lot of thoughts around the initial way or how we need to structure and architect the environment. For enterprises, it is a complex process. It will take one to two months to have all the sign-offs before we can go into implementation. It is followed across all the installations. I rate the initial setup of the solution a ten out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The overall infrastructure is the most valuable part of Nutanix Cloud Clusters."
"I've been very pleased with their support overall."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the redundancy on all levels."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its quick configuration and installation."
"There is ease of use. It is very important for our customers to have one centralized management console. Scalability is also very important for our customers."
"The solution can scale well."
"In terms of dealing with our business-critical workloads, Nutanix is a highly scalable, highly resilient, and very high-performing solution."
"The most valuable feature is having the full features of my Nutanix on-premises applications in the cloud."
"The scalability feature of the product is very impressive, especially considering the fact that the tool offers its users a pay-as-you-go model."
"The most valuable part of the Oracle Cloud Platform is the ability to develop applications that help us migrate information from on-prem to the cloud."
"The solution is stable."
"What I like most about Oracle Cloud Platform is the ease of getting data in and out of the cloud, and the affordable licensing."
"The product's configuration is simple."
"Apart from the licensing, there's support from Oracle Cloud Platform which improved our day to day operations. Time is reduced. Based on this service, we are able to scale up dependent applications as quickly as we can."
"Oracle is valuable for improving performance and addressing issues between the nodes of clusters for private IPs. It provides a private connection between the client and the security cluster."
"The most important features are the turnkey solutions offered by Oracle. These ease the administration of Oracle Databases."
 

Cons

"Quality control needs to regulate the price-quality ratio."
"There are still some things that could be improved about the product."
"Some of the interfaces aren't as intuitive as they should be."
"I don't have the expertise to build a hybrid cloud. We are starting to build one and haven't tried that part yet. I want to try because that is the most critical part for us. I want to see what, if anything, could be improved. The product is fantastic locally. Now, I want to try it in the cloud. My problem is not in the infrastructure; it is in the application, a different thing."
"When you go to the configuration part on the Nutanix site, the information is a bit high-level."
"The biggest weakness with Clusters at this point is that the adoption rate is low because customers don't know enough about it."
"The reporting has room for improvement."
"The product could be improved in scalability and support services."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"I would like more technical expertise."
"The solution isn't very mature. The on-premises deployment has more features and the cloud needs to work to match those options."
"Database instances and computer storage are areas with shortcomings in the product that need improvement."
"Areas that need improvement are the pricing and the support."
"There's a need for further customization to unlock the platform's full potential."
"With Oracle you have to create your own roles and it is more complex."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is high."
"The licensing model of Nutanix is complex."
"The licensing portability can be very interesting. At the moment, I am working with Nutanix Appliances with the AHV as a hypervisor. I did not have a chance to ask for portability between platforms, but it will be good if you can have portability between multiple types of platforms."
"The solution's licensing can be very pricey."
"There are positives and negatives to licensing. It all makes sense now, but it took a while. When the licenses first changed, it was a bit confusing."
"I am working on one configuration that is priced at $50,000 USD, whereas another one that I'm working on is estimated to cost $250,000 USD."
"I feel that the prices could be improved, but the truth is that I am very happy. The license price keeps increasing, but I am confident that it is much more reasonable than other brands."
"The solution has been more costly at this point. We do not see any cost savings."
"The solution is cheaper compared to Oracle E-Business Suite."
"Pricing needs to be improved."
"On a monthly basis, we pay around $2,500 for licensing fees, with no additional costs. We do pay extra licensing for other on-premises solutions, but these are not related to Oracle Cloud Platform."
"It's very expensive compared to AWS."
"The price is middling; it's not the most expensive product, but there is still some room for it to be more flexible."
"Oracle Cloud Platform has a decent pricing model."
"There is a subscription cost rather than licensing for this product."
"The price is fair, but we have to manage it to keep it low."
