"The solution is simple and robust."
"Nutanix Unified Storage is a simple, user-friendly, and stable solution."
"Nutanix Unified Storage does a very good job of unifying our organization's block, file, and object storage. It puts it all in one place. From one platform, we can deploy S3-type buckets. We can provide iSCSI-level block storage if we need to. It does a great job with home folders and departmental shares, which is what we mostly use Nutanix Unified Storage for."
"The solution is useful for machine learning and scientific applications, including computer simulations."
"This has been one of the most reliable storage systems that I have ever used."
"Customer service is more difficult to call and they do not responding as much as, for example, DataCore. It's not the same level of satisfaction compared to DataCore. Responses could be faster."
"The GUI is not user-friendly for new users and has room for improvement."
"The feature request I have is for the consistent improvement of how user account permissions are assigned in Nutanix Unified Storage."
"I would like to see the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies. That could definitely be a major breakthrough in providing a unified, seamless experience for end-users. It could reduce costs as well as human effort."
"Another aspect that needs improvement is continuous protection against security threats such as ransomware and potential data leakage."
"The only thing I would say is missing for us it is FTP protocol compatibility."
"One thing I'd appreciate is having a desktop application similar to what VMware offered."
"The management is pretty clunky, in my opinion. It could be a little bit better."
"The read/write ratio is an area in the solution with some flaws and needs improvement."
"The write performance could be improved because it is less than half of the read performance."
