Unified storage has simplified private cloud operations and delivers strong security and ROI
Regarding areas for improvement, I think Data Lens could be enhanced from Nutanix's side, but it has been a long time since I logged into that console, so I do not remember much. It is a SaaS-based offering on the Nutanix portal. It is not something you deploy on-premises; it is not on-prem access. You connect your cluster to the SaaS-based Nutanix and then access the Lens console. I need to check it since it has been almost two or three months since I logged in. Nutanix Enterprise AI actually needs to improve a lot if I compare it with any other product such as NVIDIA and other offerings in the market. Nutanix Enterprise AI still requires a lot of work. I did not check that in much detail technically, but whatever I thoroughly checked, it still lags behind in many features. When it comes to AI-related features, I think the ecosystem of Nutanix is not as big as NVIDIA because NVIDIA has its own inferencing system and model training platform such as NeMo, NeMoTron, and others. Nutanix does not have such things. It can be built using NVIDIA CUDA libraries, but what I saw when I was testing the product is that you can run NVIDIA NeMo and PyTorch and two other things, but as a software, Nutanix does not have an end-to-end platform. That is something Nutanix should focus on.

While there are some disadvantages in this product, from my experience with basic use cases, daily tasks, integration, scheduling, saving, and encryption, I have not encountered significant areas for improvement. However, the addition of a GUI configuration management and administration console for all administrative tasks would be highly beneficial. It would be preferable to have the ability to perform all console, terminal, and command line operations through a GUI interface.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The aspect of the product that I like the most is its simplicity."
"The solution is very easy to manage."
"Since I started working with Nutanix, the only consistent thing I can identify as key is simplicity."
"Functionality-wise, we have improved a lot using Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS), as previously we faced significant latency and other related issues."
"What I appreciate about Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) is that we have faced several issues in the Unified Storage, the compression and deduplication features have worked exceptionally well in the Unified Storage, and it has helped my business as it operates seamlessly without any interruption."
"Some of the features that we use include replication and snapshot capabilities, especially from remote locations to our data centers. The main benefit our company sees from using Nutanix Unified Storage is simplification. In the past, we used three-tier solutions with a lot of complexity and operational overhead. Now, we want to focus on the layers above. I want to have storage available, but I don't want to have to think about it. I want it to work without any issues."
"Management-wise, it has made work a lot easier. It is all in one place physically. It is much better now."
"My experience with using Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) for data-intensive workloads is that we have many SQL Servers and they perform much better than they did when we used hybrid converged previously."
"We've definitely seen an ROI despite this being an expensive solution."
"The interface is good."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to perform encrypted backups after any learning."
"Oracle Database Backup Service is an easy-to-use consolidation solution that's dashboard-driven."
"Oracle Database Backup Service is stable and offers high availability, and the commands for restoration and backup processes are not complicated."
"This is a product that I recommend to others who are interested in using it."
"It's a scalable product."
"Replication and performance tuning are valuable features."
 

Cons

"The solution should increase its storage capabilities, as it has been required to make use of local data storage and local pockets and magnets."
"Allowing the use of the Gflag compromises the integrity of the Nutanix system and its established standards."
"Pain points are just in the management and understanding of how the functions work."
"The escalation process with technical support could do with some improvement."
"For P1 and P2 alerts in the Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) file share system, including SMB, NFS, objects, or blocks, we must maintain vigilant monitoring. This is crucial because system downtime can disturb the entire ecosystem and impact all applications."
"In summary for improvements, I would say stay on the integration path, keep those integrations heavy, and let us use the software and technologies with everybody."
"Historically, it has been a hyper-converged infrastructure, so when you are looking to grow the solution, you need to scale the compute and storage. Having the ability to scale the storage independently would be a good improvement."
"From the speed perspective of Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS), it could enhance some features to make it the best storage solution in the market."
"They should base their strategy according to the country and the regulations there, and focus more on the on-premises deployment."
"It's already fast, but still, they could improve the speed."
"The initial setup is overly complex, unnecessarily so."
"Deployment is overly complex and could be streamlined."
"We encounter issues while restoring differential and cumulative backups."
"The installation process is easy for me because I have performed this action hundreds of times. However, it is important to note that beginners and even some senior professionals may encounter significant difficulties during installation."
"I have been working with Oracle Database Backup Service for five years, and it has already been quite an expensive and extensive experience."
"The product can protect from external data penetration, but the in-house IT team can access it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Nutanix offers different pricing options, including Ultimate and Ultimate Pro."
"In the manufacturing industry, we operate under very lean principles where costs are heavily scrutinized. There was some initial hesitation, but the performance we've experienced since switching to the Nutanix platform, along with the peace of mind from having confidence in our platform to not give us issues that keep us up at night, has smoothed over much of that scrutiny."
"The solution’s pricing could be cheaper."
"The licensing model the tool has is cheaper than an HCI storage solution."
"It is competitive with other vendors, but you get more for your dollars. It is fairly priced, but not cheap."
"It is quite expensive otherwise as it comes with three-tier peer underlying hardware."
"The pricing is a bit too high."
"The price of the license is expensive when comparing it to traditional storage."
"The platform is expensive."
"Price is always an area that could be made better, as it is quite expensive."
"It's an expensive solution and is an area that needs improvement."
"The only problem with Oracle is its pricing."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate Oracle Database Backup Service a seven or eight out of ten."
"The platform is expensive."
