We performed a comparison between HPE StoreVirtual and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Software Defined Storage (SDS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I guess on the top of the list is certainly ease of use."
"StoreVirtual is that it is our software-defined solution and it's everywhere."
"Simplicity of not having to buy FC or FCoE SAN. Instead, we buy servers with their own storage."
"The initial setup is straightforward, not a complex procedure."
"It's very stable and it's easy to use."
"It appears to be very stable and very robust."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't had any issues with glitches or bugs."
"HPE StoreVirtual is very easy to use from the management console."
"It has centralized management. It is easy for an engineer to manage. More work goes to patching, upgrades, and maintenance. Nutanix is very easy to upgrade. It takes one click. Engineers do not need to spend additional time with Nutanix for upgrades. With one click, it will complete the upgrade and show the results. Other hypervisor solutions are not like this, specifically since you must do all the components one by one."
"The pricing is pretty good."
"The stability is good. This is the number-one product in that regard."
"It has solid performance and provides data locality."
"Being able to upgrade our entire cluster with the click of a button during business hours with zero downtime has made managing our infrastructure so easy."
"The hyperconvergence service, as well as the DR solution, are game-changers for Nutanix."
"In the world of IT operations, there is a lot of noise. Traditionally, systems would generate a great deal of alerts, events, and notifications, often leading to the operator either a) not seeing critical alerts since they are lost in the noise or b) disregarding the alerts/events."
"The most valuable feature is Move, which allows you to migrate virtual machines from VM to AHV."
"The management aspect of the solution needs to be improved in order to make the product stronger."
"It is a costly solution."
"The solution needs to ensure it is on par with the industry in terms of availability of features and various other options."
"Configuration of application integrated snapshots for VMware is convoluted and it did not work immediately."
"it would nice to have deduplication or compression, things that you have in some of the higher end products."
"I would like to have this solution easily integrate with VMware."
"Hardware and disk failures are happening frequently."
"The initial setup could be simplified to make it easier for new users."
"The only problem is that not many operating systems are supported on the AOS hypervisor. They need to probably increase the support on multiple operating systems. As of now, a very limited number of operating systems and patch levels are supported on AOS."
"Areas for improvement would be the memory setting and the CPU setting reserve features, which are not available on Acropolis. I also feel that the DR solution, the reporting, and the component that is combined with the Nutanix OSP need to be improved."
"It would be great if they could improve the GUI features."
"There is a need is to be able to consume Nutanix storage from outside the cluster for other, non-Nutanix workloads."
"The storage and back-up facilities could be improved. We need day-to-day encrypting of the database."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with external storage using the fiber channel"
"The pricing of the solution is too high. It needs to be adjusted or lowered to be more competitive."
"Regarding third-party backup solutions, the only agentless option is Commvault, which is expensive, complex, and requires intensive vendor training."
