We performed a comparison between Nutanix Database Service and VMware Tanzu Data Services based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Database Development and Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."AI has been deployed within Nutanix. It's very easy to provision the machine within minutes of the application orders. They can hand those over and work along with the AI team to get the data available quickly for business analysis."
"The patching is the most valuable feature. We spent a lot of time and effort on the patching of our SQL instances after hours. With Nutanix Era, you can schedule and automate them during your normal operational hours (during the day). You schedule all the patching, then everything happens automatically with minor tickets from the engineer. So, our patching, which took four hours, went down to an hour for the engineer. This is much better for us from a return on investment perspective."
"We have an enterprise-level backup product that we're required to use, so we don't rely on Era's version. [But] it could be an awesome first-line backup. It's very elegant the way they designed it. It's quick and it doesn't take up nearly as much storage space as traditional backups. It would definitely help to save on tier-one storage."
"Overall, the solution is very good. It's easy to use and simple to handle many actions, such as VM cloning, testing, and prediction."
"It saves operation time and day-to-day tasks."
"It has wizards that are very helpful in the installation, and it handles automation as well as virtualization once deployed."
"This is a very useful solution for database management."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Database Service is the ability to manage multiple vendors."
"The most valuable feature is that it's really customizable."
"Simple and straightforward admin portals: Made it easy for users and worked out excellently for our requirements"
"After creating a RabbitMQ service, they provide you with a sort of web management dashboard."
"The parallel load features mean that Greenplum is capable of high-volume data loading in parallel to all of the cluster segments, which is really valuable."
"It's super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and analytics."
"It works very well with large database queries."
"Very fast for query processing."
"The solution can scale."
"The initial setup was a little tedious and complex. If they could make the setup slightly more user-friendly, then that would definitely be beneficial. If they could give a clear indication of what ports are required across the business and multiple VLANs, then your prep work can be done beforehand and before you do the actual installation. Because the documentation that was provided was not 100 percent accurate, so we had to do a lot of custom firewall rules after we deployed Nutanix Era."
"It would be helpful if we could patch Windows operating systems with the solution."
"The downside of this solution is that it's more expensive than its competitors."
"The solution could improve by providing more support for more vendors."
"If there were data integration services included with the platform then it would be interesting, and it would help us a lot."
"This solution could be improved by integrating with more database providers."
"The updating of the database engine is something that can be improved. For example, assume that we are using PostgreSQL out of the box, and it is version 10. If we want to migrate to version 11, 12, or 13, then it is not very easy to do that using Nutanix Era."
"The solution needs to improve compatibility with other back-ups and products."
"The product needs to focus on offering more use case documentation because browsing the internet to find it can be a process filled with struggles."
"The solution needs improvement on performance."
"We needed to configure additional plugins. While it was relatively easy to do this on-premises, it became more challenging in the cloud."
"The debugging capabilities and testing flexibilities need to be improved."
"One of the disadvantages, not a disadvantage with the product itself, but overall, is the expertise in the marketplace. It's not easy to find a Greenplum administrator in the market, compared to other products such as Oracle."
"If messages pile up until the space of the memory is full, then basically, the cluster goes down, and someone has to log in through the backend and purge all messages."
"Extra filters would be helpful."
"VMware RabbitMQ's configuration process could be easier to understand."
