We performed a comparison between Amazon S3 and Nutanix Unified Storage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Public Cloud Storage Services solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution's peak-up time is good."
"The multi-zone replication is great."
"It's good for starting up because you only pay for what you use."
"Cloud infrastructure is the most valuable feature."
"It's very well secured. We have S3 policies that allow you to write custom policies."
"The tool helps us with data backup storage of payment files and helps us avoid issues with clients when we miss the data. For instance, in the payment file of my Google client, you can find details of one-to-one transactions like the payment information on the file header, payment ID, payment client ID, group headers, etc. We get these details into the file format of ISO which is the accepted format at JP Morgan & Chase. Once we get the file format, we process it through S3."
"The most valuable feature is the automated replication of the data."
"We appreciate that this solution is relatively easy to use, straightforward, and reliable."
"Nutanix Objects is reliable."
"What I found most valuable in Nutanix Files Storage is its high availability and ability to scale out with many VMs."
"We have been able to save local disk space by using Data Lens. We upload 18 GB to the cloud and are able to save 20% to 25%."
"The reliability and availability are the most valuable features. Reliability is important because it can run my workloads. I need to be able to take advantage of the VMs that are executing on the storage. It has to be reliable. It's also important to have the storage available for scaling VMs on demand."
"The solution is very easy to manage."
"The customer service executives of all Nutanix products are active and responsive."
"Nutanix Volumes is a perfectly stable product."
"I appreciate its storage licensing model, as it offers flexibility."
"The search option must be enabled in the UI to filter and retrieve files."
"The solution's pricing should be modified to automatically expand storage based on prior usage."
"Amazon S3 could improve by providing some type of storage notification."
"Amazon S3 needs to simplify the backup features."
"Amazon S3 could improve the load balancers. They are very basic compared to other solutions in the industry, such as F5. It has to be able to be analyzed up to a certain level."
"Sometimes we have to concentrate networks to a certain location, like the EU, for example. Therefore, if we set S3 in the EU region from the Middle East or Africa, the latency is an issue and we find it hard to connect to that S3."
"Maybe they need to expand their range of physical locations."
"We would like some improvement in the cost of storage via this solution, as it currently has a very high price point."
"We have some problems with Nutanix Unified Storage's support because they asked us to change our hardware."
"The GUI is not user-friendly for new users and has room for improvement."
"What's missing in Nutanix Files Storage is the support for multiple intranets or VLANs on the same file from different networks and network devices."
"From a management side, the one thing I would prefer is if it were a bit less expensive for smaller enterprises. It's a bit costly. If they provided flexible modules where you could pick and choose features, and only pay for what you use, that would be an improvement."
"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."
"The only thing I would say is missing for us it is FTP protocol compatibility."
"Nutanix needs to improve their cybersecurity options at the storage level."
"The escalation process with technical support could do with some improvement."
