"We mostly use Nagios Core to integrate with Python and Bash Script."
"Key features include the GUI interface, its notification capabilities, and the real-time reporting."
"The recent life cycle management feature is really helpful to us. Before that, we had to do everything manually, but now it's like a one-stop shop. We can upgrade firmware and all of the software from there. Also, managing storage information and other hardware-related resources is easy using Prism."
"I don't know how to explain how much time and effort switching to Nutanix HCI has saved us. It's 80 percent more time-efficient and convenient than having to use multiple interfaces to deal with storage and compute in our hypervisor."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Prism is the single location management. You can manage everything from one location HTML5 web interface which is highly intuitive. The solution is easy to use, you do not need to be an expert in storage."
"Prism is easy to scale."
"Aside from ease of use, scalability is one of the key points of this solution."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its storage flexibility, linear scalability, and perhaps ease of use and powerful support."
"The HTML5 interface is very robust."
"The feature that stands out for me is the simplicity and ease of use. That is what comes to mind when I think about the Prism console. You don't need to be a core technical person to manage a cluster. Everything is available in the console itself."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"I would like to see more training videos."
"Would benefit from aggregations if a particular server goes down."
"There is room for improvement in the graphics."
"I would like to see a sensor that shows the traffic of a user and what they're doing on the network."
"Nagios Core does not have a graphic display."
"The initial setup process could be easier."
"The user interface could be more interactive because it is pretty basic."
"Making it a little easier to configure and set up from the start would help. There are multiple layers that you have to wade through to be able to set it up, to do it the right way, and to get it to do what you want it to do."
"I think that the Nutanix Prism Pro the terms it uses, it's not very user-friendly."
"In the next release, I would like the ability to browse data stores."
"We're running VMware's ESX hypervisor and a lot of networking isn't done in Prism, it's done at the vCenter level. But for the few proofs of concept that I've done, Prism hasn't been a good experience because there's a lot of command-line work that needs to be done to configure the network."
"The stability has room for improvement."
"They don't have many organized documents for troubleshooting problems. If you look at the support portal or the website, you will not get detailed information about problems or redirection to more information. They should continue working on the software solution but enlarge the documentation."
"The cost is a negative aspect."
"It doesn't integrate very well with any backup solution."
"There are a few areas related to visibility on the dashboard that can be improved. It's good, but the visibility can be improved in terms of single locations."
