We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Since we began using Nutanix the performance for virtual desktops is much better.""What I like the most are the self-healing and the ability to see everything at a glance, from metrics to the resiliency status of the hardware. As soon as you log in, that's what you see.""Nutanix Prism is very fast compared to VMware and whatever you need to do, you can do it quickly.""You can go directly to the Prism dashboard and it gives you all the information. It's easy to use. I have worked on other platforms but the single pane of glass that Prism has is very helpful for seeing what's going on in your environment: usage, storage, capacity, and behavior.""For me, the speed of cloning virtual machines and the hyper-convergence feature are the most valuable aspects of the solution.""We can also manage our disaster recovery plan from a single console.""I am very satisfied with the technical support.""Nutanix is a HCA product and includes VMware called Nutanix Express that has been fantastic for us. We have about 100 plus VMs without any trouble and we have VCDR."

"The solution has been stable.""The KPS used to automate the integration policy is the most valuable feature of Splunk ITSI.""The glass tables are very helpful.""ITSI's most valuable feature is that it's easy to integrate DLP.""The most valuable features are the service analyzer and Glass Tables.""Splunk ITSI helps us secure our environment by allowing us to create automatons that run when alerts are triggered.""ITSI provides a visual representation of complex tools and context, using color coding and other features to make it easy for anyone at the monitoring or service desk to use.""We liked the built-in calculation of health scores."

Cons
"I would like to have some cluster management tools included.""The life cycle management or LCM feature is the most complicated. It takes really long and is unpredictable for our use cases. They should provide more detailed information about the kind of LCM to go for, various errors, and different kinds of tasks. For analytics for certain configurations, we require more details with the report. Sometimes, not all elements are present for support, management, and configuration. For troubleshooting, it would be very easy and useful if we can analyze log files directly from Prism, that is, not from the command line but directly from Prism.""I would like to see the integration of native, one-click "open support ticket" functionality for errors generated by the system within Prism. Currently, we have to manually open a support ticket in a separate web browser and manually input the error information.""The licensing cost has room for improvement.""The automation needs to be improved, as there are several challenges.""Prism is not very user-friendly, particularly in its upgrade process, compared to vSAN.""The main area where an improvement could be made would be the pricing.""The initial setup is extremely complex. I am Nutanix Certified, so I had the ability, but there were still things that we weren't trained in. They mandate—not recommend, but mandate—having an approved installer do it, and it was a very painful process. The installer that we took from CDW was not good, in the extreme. I had to go back to Nutanix directly and get all the problems fixed."

More Nutanix Prism Cons →

"Predictive analytics, in terms of preventing incidents before they occur, still needs time to mature.""The dashboard queries should be improved. More queries should be suggested in order to produce better dashboards.""We're using predictive analytics, and there are three or four algorithms. It would be helpful if this process were more standardized and scalable.""We're getting alerts with delays of maybe five minutes, however, we'd like to see real-time alerting in the future.""The solution should integrate more features in NEAP.""It would be good if an interface was included in the next release.""We'd like them to show more inputs on the dashboard.""It is pretty okay. I am not sure whether the current release has already moved to the new framework where instead of the glass tables, we can directly use the Dashboard Studio. It would be nice to have that integrated into the same framework."
