Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The Time Machine is the most valuable feature for us. Using it means that we don't have to take regular snapshots, yet we are still able to restore the database quickly in the event of a problem.""The most valuable feature of Nutanix Database Service is the ability to manage multiple vendors.""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.""It has wizards that are very helpful in the installation, and it handles automation as well as virtualization once deployed.""The most valuable feature is its robust infrastructure management tools.""This is a very useful solution for database management.""It is also a single platform, all in one place, and that is a reason we went for this solution. Earlier, we had multiple platforms, the database and the OS, but this is a single platform that helps us with what we are doing.""It has some very good features. It really works with multiple silos in terms of infrastructure, database updates, and migration. So many things are easy with Era."

"The most valuable feature is asynchronous calls, which are easy to configure.""It's super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and analytics.""The message routing is the most valuable feature. It is effective and flexible.""The stability of this solution was very good.""I like the high throughput of 20K messages/sec, and that it supports multiple protocols.""Scalable (Massive) Parallel Processing (MPP) – The ability to bring to bear large amounts of compute against large data sets with Greenplum and the EMC DCA has proven itself to be very effective.""After creating a RabbitMQ service, they provide you with a sort of web management dashboard.""Very sophisticated routing control and priority messaging capabilities"

Cons
"The downside of this solution is that it's more expensive than its competitors.""It would be helpful if we could patch Windows operating systems with the solution.""It should be able to be consumed by other customers because only the enterprise cloud customers are able to buy this software.""The solution could improve by providing more support for more vendors.""The solution needs to improve compatibility with other back-ups and products.""If there were data integration services included with the platform then it would be interesting, and it would help us a lot.""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.""Their support is helpful, but maybe they need more technical staff. Their response was slow once, but that was the only time it happened, so I'm not sure."

More Nutanix Database Service Cons →

"Implementation takes a long time.""Extra filters would be helpful.""The product has to improve the crisis management, especially in memory issues.""RabbitMQ is clearly better supported on Linux than it is on Windows. There are idiosyncrasies in the Windows version that are not there on Linux.""There are some security concerns that have been raised with this product.""The installation is difficult and should be made easier.""This solution struggled with multi-regional synchronization.""The solution needs improvement on performance."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The licensed-based pricing is confusing and too high."
  • "Era is quite expensive. The thing that will be a showstopper for them in the long run is if you look at it from a technical perspective on what it provides and weigh it up against consolidation of multiple other software suites."
  • "Licensing costs will be the main scalability problem."
  • "It's priced fairly... It's a good value. When you go looking for something from Oracle that automates things and makes your life easier, it's always going to be a minimum of $500,000. Era's nothing like that."
  • "There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
  • "This solution is reasonably priced."
  • "Not everyone can afford it. It's a bit expensive, so the price has to be improved."
  • "The pricing is competitive."

  • "The pricing is okay."
  • "It is the best product with best fit for price/performance customer objectives."
  • "Pricing is good compared to other products. It's fine."
  • "This is an open source solution."
  • "We are using the open-source version of this solution."
  • "are using the open-source version, which can be used free of cost."
  • "The pricing for RabbitMQ is reasonable. It is worth the cost."
  • "On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."
