Find out in this report how the two NAS solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product provides a good storage space."
"It's a state of the art solution in storage systems. High-availability and performance are the strongest aspects of these machines."
"The hybrid array provides scaleable, predictable, high performance with no capacity constraints."
"The product's reliability has been crucial for our company's operations."
"The most valuable feature is that it has 'eight nines' availability, 99.999999 percent of the time. That is the main selling point."
"The performance is very good."
"The valuable features for data management include deduplication and compression without performance impact, and the ability to virtualize old storage, making migration seamless."
"The first thing that attracted this model to us was the non-disruptive migration. We had a very large database application that was on older gear and needed to be migrated to these arrays. We had experience with virtualizing behind an array and moving applications and data but this made it even better."
"The dashboard of Nutanix Acropolis AOS allows for simple management. The dashboard has all the information online about what's going on at any given time."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure's most valuable features are all the cloud facilities or benefits it provides for my data center."
"We have had good feedback from our customers about this solution."
"The configuration is easy, and it's flexible."
"Data locality provides super-fast data access and ultra-low latency."
"There are a lot of things I really like. Perhaps the best part is taking a snapshot of a virtual machine. It's very quick. Another useful part is replication and creating a protection domain: using the protection feature to replicate a machine to a remote site for DR purposes."
"They have one of the best technical supports in my experience."
"In terms of scalability, adding a number of nodes, I find that it will not be any issues."
"In the next version I would like to see more intelligence."
"The user experience is pretty bad in Hitachi. A lot of mandatory tasks take a long time to work through."
"The solution is stable. However, there have been some software crashes where we had to restart the system. They could improve the hardware to prevent this type of issue."
"In terms of new features, I would be interested to see deduplication added in their next release."
"The interface should be simplified and made easier to use."
"The installation procedure it a bit difficult, because it is a high-end solution. With this type of product, the original company is interested in doing the setup for customers in the area, but because of sanctions we were not able to get support in our area. We faced many issued trying to learn to run this product."
"It seemed like every time we turned around it was a statement of work and we'd have to pay for something that our previous vendors would not have billed us for."
"For mission critical issues the performance is low."
"Notifications could be improved as they're not currently very useful."
"The scalability of the solution had some issues because there were many VMs and the replication ran into some bottlenecks. It was an issue that was known to Nutanix and it was not disclosed to the customer."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure lacks compatibility with certain older processors."
"The GUI of Nutanix Acropolis AOS could be improved that can be done from the OEM side. It's a very basic stable web browser that they're using. It is not very inclusive."
"I would like better integration of XenServer into the AOS and Prism Central."
"The pricing of the solution is too high. It needs to be adjusted or lowered to be more competitive."
"The productivity and work efficiency of Nutanix Acropolis AOS could improve."
"The reporting feature isn't very good."
