Enables us to grow at the speed of business and be ready for whatever is coming

What I admire most about Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) is its scalability; that option that everybody seems to eventually go to is cloud, and we're ready for that when we decide. This scalability feature has improved my company because we can grow at the speed of business, and that's very important. We're not limited by the hardware that we have. We allow ourselves room for growth, and we can literally grow from today to tomorrow to ensure that we're handling our growth. The scalability is critical for us, especially in the banking industry, where we just get bigger every year.

Cloud access has improved reporting and sales operations across global locations

I cannot say anything about what areas of SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud could be improved or enhanced because so far, we are happy with this implementation. We are not facing any problem, or I cannot say that this can be improved. Although SAP keeps improving themselves day by day, we cannot say that SAP needs to improve anything. One thing which we face, not as a problem, is the pricing. SAP pricing is a bit higher day by day. Before, it was not too much higher, but I don't know why they are increasing their price. They should see this thing, so other customers, such as SMBs customers or small and mid-sized customers, can also avail this thing. Otherwise, we don't have any problem. First, there is the limitation. If you are a SAP user, you don't feel any problem with the limitation because if you know how to use the product, you can easily implement this thing. Otherwise, if you don't know the business process or how to integrate and implement, it could be a problem. We have a limitation, but we developed some add-ons for this. So we fulfilled these requirements.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can do anything throughout the infrastructure from one console. This is the best for us."

"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."

"Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) scales with the needs of my company."

"I'm not an AWS expert at all, but I can totally manage my Nutanix clusters, the same as I do on-prem. The fact that I can quickly and easily stand up servers or nodes instantly has been an amazing help."

"The feature I find most valuable about Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) is the portability."

"The most valuable feature is having the full features of my Nutanix on-premises applications in the cloud."

"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure is very good, particularly Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2), as it is a very good option because if you need more resources, we can add them instantly."

"The solution is extremely stable."

More Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) pros

"The interface is easy to manage."

"If a customer is looking for the latest innovations or products from SAP this solution is perfect for them."

"One of the features that I've found most useful is that it's very simple; they take care of the technical aspects of the data, installations, patches and all those things, and I don't need to set up my data center."

"The stability is good."

"While on-prem takes a long time, this solution is ten times faster."

"The scalability is good because we have some cloud resources to support the ERP."

"Ensuring data integrity across finance, supply chain, and other critical areas is paramount for real-time decision-making. Access to accurate and up-to-date information is essential for data protection. While the digital solution primarily serves basic maintenance, the ability to handle these core aspects efficiently is invaluable for your needs."

"Traditionally, SAP worked with Oracle databases, but SAP is getting rid of the other databases and promoting its own. SAP will stop support for other databases around 2026, so everyone is moving to SAP S/4HANA for the performance and because it's the preferred database for SAP. S/4HANA has new features from the front-end or application feature perspective. The idea is to move toward future-ready technology."

More SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud pros

Cons

"The technical support for Nutanix Clusters could be better."

"The most significant improvement would be to streamline the starting point so that we could kick off the deployment with one node and then scan out that deployment without a need to restructure or reformat anything."

"When you go to the configuration part on the Nutanix site, the information is a bit high-level."

"Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) could be improved with some more tools that could help synchronize on-prem and cloud stuff better."

"Perhaps the one thing that could be improved is the documentation around the solution."

"There are still some things that could be improved about the product."

"We cannot use Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) for data center extension or scaling workloads on demand right now based on the way that we have our network configured, but in the future, the plan is to build a greenfield site and re-engineer some of those features."

"Improvement is obviously needed in pricing; I cannot pinpoint where else I would suggest improvements."

More Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) cons

"The cost could be improved. I think it's higher than the competition."

"One thing which we face, not as a problem, is the pricing. SAP pricing is a bit higher day by day."

"The solution is scalable from an infrastructure point of view. However, it becomes more complex over time because technology is changing so fast."

"The customer has a lot of dependencies on SAP which means they don't have much flexibility to go and update the system when or if they need to. They will need to wait for the quarterly updates. It's possible to maybe raise a special request with SAP if it is absolutely necessary."

"The price of SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud is quite expensive compared to solutions such as Data Fabric in Azure and Redshift on Amazon, which are quite cheap in comparison."

"SAP support isn't on par with products like Microsoft Azure or AWS. It's nowhere close to the competitors."

"I would rate the stability a four out of ten. It's an area that could use improvement"

"The product must provide more details of the errors."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is high."

"The solution's licensing can be very pricey."

"The solution has been more costly at this point. We do not see any cost savings."

"The licensing model of Nutanix is complex."

"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."

"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."

"I'm not familiar with the contracts, but I thought the process was pretty seamless. Licensing for the Nutanix part was the same as licensing something on-prem, and since it runs on bare metal EC2, there was no new process we had to go through—it fits into our existing procurement processes nicely. I appreciate Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2)'s license portability."

"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."

More Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) pricing and cost advice

"Our pricing is based on a yearly contract."

"The solution's cost is reasonable."

"I rate the product's price a five out of ten."

"SAP may not be the most cost-effective option, but it does offer a comprehensive set of tools and features. When you have the right information, structure, and dashboard in place, it can provide excellent value. Additionally, competition with Oracle might be a factor to consider."

"The price is on little bit higher. For SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, we see roughly five crores per annum."

"The price is expensive compared to the competition."

"It's very, very expensive."

"If you choose the minimum, it will probably cost around $1,000 USD per month if you take a contract for a year or two."
