Nutanix Prism Reviews

We are a distributor and this is one of the solutions that we provide to our clients.

The most valuable features are the dashboards.

Prism Central, which is an aggregation of many Prisms, is very helpful.

Extra products are able to integrate directly into the Prism console.

In the next release, I would like the ability to browse data stores directly from the Prism interface instead of using third party product.

I have been using Nutanix Prism for about five months.

Nutanix Prism is a stable solution.

This solution is scalable. Our customers are large, enterprise-level companies with more than 500 or 1,000 users.

Nutanix has very good technical support.

The initial setup is straightforward.

A lot of my customers complain about the price of renewals, so I think that this can be improved.

Nutanix Prism is a good solution and I recommend it.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We mainly use Nutanix Prism for storage.

The programs is very functional in case of a failure, because snapshots are taken every 30 minutes, and we also have synchronization between our two data centers. So whenever  we have a failure, we have another data center that is responds for every machine we have.

The features I find most valuable, is the integration between data centers.

Perhaps the interface can be more intuitive. It's easy, but it is very slow at the beginning. 

I am very satisfied with the technical support.

We've had no issues with the setup and installation. In terms of time, it was very fast. In terms of testing, it was very slow, but when everything had been verified and updated, the latest patches and everything, the program was working great. 

The deployment took about one month, and it was done by Nutanix people provided by Dell. We are satisfied with their work and we have an annual review of both systems. 

On a scale of one to ten, I will rate this solution an eight. What I'd like to see in the next release, is for it to be open to other platforms. That would be great, because now it's only available on Mac, IBM and Dell. Perhaps wide-open hardware would be great.

In the past we used to get alarms and an detector. Sometimes the messages you get from a problem doesn't point directly to the origin of the problem. So you have to elaborate some things for having a conclusion on what is failing. Perhaps they can improve this entire process, from beginning to the end, where you find a solution. In other words, being able to make the right decision faster.

I visited PeerSpot to look for a comparison between Nutanix and VxRail prices. I am already working with Nutanix and wanted to get more information.

Nutanix Prism, being a native part of the Nutanix solution, does not require external hardware installation, making it easier for management. It also includes Prism Central, which allows for management of multiple clusters efficiently.

The life cycle management and upgrade capabilities are very useful. The GUI is user-friendly. The VM creation task is simple, and Nutanix AHV, the hypervisor, is straightforward.

There is a need for more migration tools, especially for migrating a solution from non-Nutanix environments to a Nutanix environment, particularly for systems with shared disks.

The technical support for hardware and software is satisfactory.

Positive

The time savings are significant since the delivery is quick. Having both hardware and software support from a single vendor streamlines the process.

The pricing is reasonable, approximately $400 to $500 per core.
