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."
"I appreciate its storage licensing model, as it offers flexibility."
"Nutanix Unified Storage is a simple, user-friendly, and stable solution."
"What I found to be the most valuable features were better performance and uptime."
"It is a highly scalable solution."
"Currently, the most valuable aspect of our Nutanix implementation is its file storage functionality."
"Nutanix's analytics provide better insights into all of our files."
"This has been one of the most reliable storage systems that I have ever used."
"The solution is useful for machine learning and scientific applications, including computer simulations."
"The GUI is easy to use, but it's complex to do tasks from the command line. That is one way they could simplify things for the engineers. People tend to use a graphical interface more than the command line interface. If anything goes wrong, we need to do troubleshooting from the CLI. It would be nice if there were more ways to fix issues within the GUI."
"Nutanix needs to improve their cybersecurity options at the storage level."
"Improving quota policies would be advantageous, particularly by offering the option to implement blocking instead of just issuing warnings."
"The solution is very expensive."
"Another aspect that needs improvement is continuous protection against security threats such as ransomware and potential data leakage."
"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."
"Nutanix should improve the one-click upgrade. There are a lot of dependencies on third-party licenses and HP hardware we use internally. The one-click upgrade fails sometimes."
"The solution should increase its storage capabilities."
"The read/write ratio is an area in the solution with some flaws and needs improvement."
"The write performance could be improved because it is less than half of the read performance."
