Room For Improvement

Nutanix Prism needs interface, pricing, and automation improvements, better third-party integration, enhanced analytics, migration ease, and licensing flexibility.

Splunk ITSI users face challenges with price, integration, user interface, and require better predictive analytics, scalability, and support.

The presales and marketing team should inform clients about resource requirements, such as RAM used by CVM, to help manage expectations.

Khurram Hussain

Head of Infrastructure Operations Security at Gulf Cable & Elec. Ind. Co.

Regarding Nutanix Prism's single pane overview, the limitation is that you cannot troubleshoot all errors from Prism Central; you sometimes need to log into the CLI to change settings such as the IP address of the CVM in the AHV.

Biniyam Samuel

Junior System Cloud Engineer at DeliverICT

I would appreciate additional features in the next release of Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) such as cloud infrastructure monitoring including CICDs, Kubernetes, and similar technologies.

Ahmed Naguib

Director at Techpace

On-cloud upgrades are easy, but on-premises upgrades are very painful.

SaketShrivastava

Technology And Digitization Lead at JLL

Splunk ITSI could benefit from including more features that other solutions support, such as vulnerability management modules.

Setup Cost

Enterprise buyers find Nutanix Prism's pricing variable, appreciating features but noting high costs and complex licensing compared to alternatives.

Enterprise buyers find Splunk ITSI effective yet costly, with complex licensing, primarily affecting smaller companies due to its data-based pricing.

At first, the cost seemed heavy, but over time, its cost-effectiveness became evident.

Khurram Hussain

Head of Infrastructure Operations Security at Gulf Cable & Elec. Ind. Co.

I hear that Nutanix Prism is more expensive than others, but as a technical person, I don't know the details about the pricing aspect.

Biniyam Samuel

Featured Reviews

Usha Rani

Director at Eglobe infra solutions

Provides comprehensive management with AI-driven insights and predictive analytics for seamless IT operations

The major improvement recommended for Nutanix Prism is more multi-cloud cost optimization. It shows performance and usage but is limited in detailed cross-cloud cost analysis. Improvement is needed for deeper FinOps-style ML insights that compare costs between on-premise, AWS, Azure, etc. Enhancements for the current mobile version of Prism are necessary as its functions are limited. Full mobile native control with real-time alerts and AI suggestions are required for one-click actions. Better integration with third-party tools and predictive maintenance for hardware is needed; currently, the focus is on VM and storage, not hardware life cycle. Predictions for node-level hardware failures or SSD wear-out, fan sensor alerts in advance are essential improvements, as is AI-based security threat detection focusing on unusual login patterns such as ransomware behavior or privilege escalations.

Service health has been monitored and visual insights support proactive telecom operations

The installation process is the first aspect I dislike about Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence). If you do not configure it correctly, you will encounter issues in the search head. Because we use a distributed environment where each component has its own specific roles, installation is critical and requires careful attention. Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) is built with many applications. It is a compressed file, and when you extract the Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) app, you receive approximately 19 apps. Some applications, add-ons, and packages must be installed on specific components. If you do not configure an application correctly, it will not work. Sometimes we encounter issues during installation because of this complexity. I believe the installation process should be more uniform, meaning it could be deployed across all components to avoid post-installation issues. Sometimes after installation, you receive errors, and users cannot access Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence). We have experienced this type of issue due to installation errors. I believe there is currently room for improvement regarding scalability. When we create Glass Tables containing many searches, the Glass Tables sometimes fail due to memory constraints, and we receive error pages. Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) should have a lightweight version to address these concerns. I would rate current scalability as medium.
