We performed a comparison between Amazon AWS and Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are load balancers, databases, and S3 buckets."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its cloud storage and compute services."
"We use AWS for multiple purposes, such as developing APIs and API integration using API Gateway. We use API Gateway, Python Combinator, Lambda Glue, and ETL Process. We have used EMR for big data processing. If we need a tool for computing, we go with the Lamda DMS. There are many services available in AWS that meet our needs."
"It has a lot of new features that make our lives easier in terms of what we want it to do in the house."
"For testing, it is a cheap alternative to having to build your own labs."
"As a service vendor, we have helped clients to achieve faster "go to market" on their products, and have provided highly flexible cost-effective system management solutions."
"The experience with Amazon AWS is error-free. That was also, of course, something that I really appreciate. That means it's really well-tested and, as published or as declared."
"The features that I have found most valuable are their compute and their Relational Database Service."
"In terms of dealing with our business-critical workloads, Nutanix is a highly scalable, highly resilient, and very high-performing solution."
"I've been very pleased with their support overall."
"The solution can scale well."
"The scalability is good."
"The most valuable features of Nutanix Clusters are Prism Central, Micro-segmentation, and cluster scaling automation."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Clusters is to protect the data."
"The overall infrastructure is the most valuable part of Nutanix Cloud Clusters."
"Having a single pane of glass where you can have both your on-prem and anything else that you spin up within AWS is useful."
"I'd like to see AWS implement consolidated billing for businesses operating under one group. We want to consolidate the functionalities but keep the billing separate. That is a challenge we've faced, and I feel it's something they can improve on. For example, maybe you have three businesses that are operating under one group, and you want each entity to have a separate bill for the respective workload that they're using."
"The interface needs a bit of work. It's not intuitive."
"Amazon AWS would be improved if it were more stable and if customer support's responses were faster."
"Amazon still has room for improvement in terms of being more mature on the monitoring side and in terms of the native capabilities. Amazon should get their services portfolio stronger on OEM-based workloads such as Microsoft and Oracle. There are a lot of areas that still do not have offerings, so there is room to grow. I would be happy if they bring more maturity to the monitoring capabilities and SaaS offerings. They are strong on Infrastructure as a Service, but they are not mature on SaaS."
"I'm just bugged by the charges that I'm not really able to manage."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"There is a bit of a learning curve. That said, it's likely no different than learning any other cloud."
"Pricing is the one feature everyone wants AWS to improve."
"Perhaps the one thing that could be improved is the documentation around the solution."
"The technical support for Nutanix Clusters could be better."
"The biggest weakness with Clusters at this point is that the adoption rate is low because customers don't know enough about it."
"Some of the interfaces aren't as intuitive as they should be."
"The pricing can be better."
"I'd like more flexible options to get in and out of migration modes."
"We've had some challenges with the implementation."
"The reporting has room for improvement."
