Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The storage management is one of the best.""Everything has been valuable, without a doubt the server is self-managed with Prism in an efficient way, it solves possible logical errors to maintain production without interruptions, it's great.""There are so many valuable features but Nutanix Flow for microsegmentation of the network, and the Life Cycle Manager for dating hardware and software are among the most important for us.""The most valuable features are Prism Central and the Disaster Recovery.""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.""Simplicity of use.""Resource monitoring is the most valuable feature."

"The KPS used to automate the integration policy is the most valuable feature of Splunk ITSI.""One particularly useful feature of Splunk ITSI is the ability to create custom services.""In my opinion, Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI) is better than QRadar. With the help of Splunk, we can get results.""The root cause analysis is very helpful for us.""The most valuable aspect lies in its utilization of predictive analytics to anticipate and prevent incidents within a window of twenty to thirty minutes.""Splunk ITSI helps us secure our environment by allowing us to create automatons that run when alerts are triggered.""We save substantial time on monitoring tasks because we don't have to search for what we need. Everything is packed, so you can drill down to the end values by just doing the kit. We don't spend a lot of time on this. Splunk ITSI is easy to use and not time-consuming.""The solution has been stable."

Cons
"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.""I would like to see the capability to use FC SAN storage.""The cost is a negative aspect.""In our environment we are using it alongside VMware, so some integration with that would be nice. VMware has SHD (Skyline Health Diagnostics) which diagnoses health and gives suggestions. A plug-in for taking information out of it would be helpful.""I would like to have some cluster management tools included.""There are no firewall policies.""The three clusters we have at our remote offices are just one-node clusters. If there were an easier way to upgrade items such as the BIOS, SATA drives, the BMC, et cetera, on those, that would be helpful.""Nutanix Prism could improve by having more features or configurations in the web interface. We should not have to use the command-line interface(CLI). For some clients using the CLI can be difficult."

More Nutanix Prism Cons →

"I believe the refresh time should be faster.""Splunk ITSI consumes a lot of CPU resources.""ITSI could benefit from a security model that would allow operations team members to get involved in model building, KPI implementation, and model maintenance, while maintaining appropriate segregation of duties.""The license cost is expensive.""It was an intimidating tool for us to jump into at the beginning.""After upgrading Splunk ITSI from version 4.11 to 4.13, the analyzer stopped finding values for KPS and services.""We experience occasional delays in receiving solutions from Splunk technical support. Splunk's support for P3 cases seems inadequate, as they frequently switch support personnel. For instance, in a single P3 case, we had three different technical support representatives assigned. We were ultimately forced to escalate the issue to our account manager to get it resolved. In essence, we never receive complete support from a single point of contact; instead, the support team keeps changing, necessitating us to explain the problem from scratch each time.""Some of our customers occasionally require the development of the connectors when there are no native connectors so that we can develop in Python or for customer slash comments as well. If they could adjust that, it would be ideal."
