Pros
"I appreciate its storage licensing model, as it offers flexibility.""What I like most about Nutanix Files Storage is the way it makes copies of the data. The solution also has high availability, which is excellent. Another valuable feature of Nutanix Files Storage is self-service, so users won't have to depend on the IT team much.""The most valuable feature is the easy interface.""The solution is easy to use, share, and manage.""The real-time alerts generated by this system enable us to swiftly address and mitigate such threats.""The inclusion of it in the Nutanix Objects Storage platform simplifies my process as I am no longer required to acquire a separate platform. Instead, I can simply purchase additional licenses as needed. All management can be performed from a single unified interface, making it a convenient and streamlined experience.""What I found to be the most valuable features were better performance and uptime.""Nutanix's analytics provide better insights into all of our files."

Cons
"The interface could be improved.""Unified Storage failed to fulfill our object storage requirements.""We have had to deal with some infrastructure and general cluster issues but these issues don't impact storage.""Nutanix needs to improve their cybersecurity options at the storage level.""The solution should keep adding new features to be competitive in the market.""The feature request I have is for the consistent improvement of how user account permissions are assigned in Nutanix Unified Storage.""One thing I'd appreciate is having a desktop application similar to what VMware offered.""The current hardware is not as dense as it could be. In our deployment, we have 2 PB per site, and we have to have 24 nodes. That's a lot of cabling and network ports that we use up. More dense nodes would be better."

"Setting up users on the appliance should be improved.""The scalability could be improved.""The scalability could improve.""The solution must allow the extension of the retention period.""Having the ability to upload and download data using third-party apps such as Mega which can sync to the desktop would be excellent.""I don't have enough experience to understand the nuances of where they might improve.""The solution’s user reporting could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The price of the license is expensive when comparing it to traditional storage."
  • "I find Nutanix Files Storage competitively priced, even its feature set. Its price is seven out of ten."
  • "If we compare the cost of Nutanix Objects Storage to other solutions such as VMware licenses, our current choice is Nutanix Objects Storage. This solution is more cost-effective. However, adding VMware to Nutanix would not be a cost-efficient decision, which is why we do not use it anymore."
  • "It is quite expensive otherwise as it comes with three-tier peer underlying hardware."
  • "For clients running Nutanix, the licensing cost for Files is a small add-on cost."
  • "With all of the Nutanix equipment, the licensing is expensive. We operate in the enterprise space, but we're a midsized company. At times, the price tag is a little bit shocking for a company with only 35 employees. We're not a Fortune 500 company, but we deal with Fortune 500 drug and energy companies. We have to play in that enterprise space if we're going to have enterprise customers. I'm very price-conscious, but I understand that if I want the best, I've got to pay the price."
  • "It's not the cheapest solution. It's in line with other solutions, but it offers features that the competitors don't have at any price point, especially with regard to analytics and ransomware prevention. No one else has any sort of object-based storage available. Nutanix Unified Storage is a lot more feature-rich. This is a situation where you get what you pay for."
  • "The product is pricey."

  • "I can only tell you that Wasabi costs about half what Amazon Web Services is charging. Now, the cost per month is a more difficult question. That varies depending on the capacity, the services you're employing, and that type of thing."
  • "Wasabi is a cost-effective solution for data storage, priced at just under six dollars per terabyte."
  • "The price of the solution is inexpensive."
  • "Wasabi has better pricing than Nutanix."
  • "Wasabi is a cheap solution, and users have to pay for a monthly license."
  • "The tool’s price is very reasonable."
  • "The price is reasonable."
