We performed a comparison between Nutanix Prism and VMware Aria Operations based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Virtualization Management Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"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."
"The most valuable features are the dashboards."
"Duplication and compression work for data in a hybrid solution."
"Nutanix Prism's dashboard is very simple, and you don't need much knowledge to use it."
"Nutanix Prism is very fast compared to VMware and whatever you need to do, you can do it quickly."
"The ability to do snapshots is fantastic. It does a great job. Not only do snapshots work great, but you can take a snapshot on the fly. The snapshot takes a second to complete. You can then make a change and test it out to see if it works. If you have any problem, just roll it right back."
"The GUI and the dashboard are impressive. I like that you can modify the GUI and the dashboard as per your requirements."
"The most valuable feature is that, when you log in, you have customized dashboards. You can add widgets to those dashboards and you can change the density of certain data points in the dashboards. When I log in, I quickly see where the cluster lies, as far as memory and CPU resources go."
"I'd like to see the streamlining of more wizards, more tasks that are canned. And it would also be good to see some more features around building the Blueprints, just to make it a little easier."
"The performance for monitoring the VM is very good. Additionally, the solution is flexible."
"The most valuable features are the Heat Maps, and the various graphs and reporting features it has."
"The last two versions of it, we've gone with the integrated, high-availability built into the product, and that was a welcome change for us. It's even better now not having to have any kind of load-balancer in front of it..."
"It provides us with predictive analysis of the capacity, helping us plan the scalability of resources."
"I like the monitoring aspect. One of the biggest things in our environment is being able to see what the entire vCenter environment looks like. The health status, being able to determine when we're having issues with resources, utilization, memory, or CPU."
"Through the trending analysis that we can do, it allowed us to quickly and easily right-size the capacity from a cluster."
"We have effectively reduced a lot of our memory and we love the Idle VMs."
"The replication we have does not have any backup systems built-in. We have to separate license records for backup, like onboard. We would like to have this in a future release."
"I think that the Nutanix Prism Pro the terms it uses, it's not very user-friendly."
"I would like to have some cluster management tools included."
"The solution could be a bit more user-friendly. The dashboard and configuration should be much easier to use."
"Does not yet have micro application using a company's provider."
"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."
"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."
"The product currently fails to provide a complete view to customers."
"When it comes to policies, they need to fine tune things to make it easier. It is a bit difficult setting up policies."
"Some of the more advanced stuff takes a bit of time to dig into it. It takes a little longer to setup if you want really detailed stuff. They could make the learning curve smoother."
"They should have more automation features for database management."
"I'd like to see a little more training, free training on the VMware site; to get some more information within the VMware community. There's quite a bit of stuff out there but getting that access can be daunting sometimes."
"Maybe the interface is a little bit archaic. It needs to be updated and again we're on view 6.2, we're not even on 7 yet. So maybe it's changed, but a more modern look and approach."
"The initial setup was very straightforward. From the web interface, you can literally just go straight into actually installing vROps with very little previous knowledge required to get it up and running."
"There is room for improvement when it comes to the integration with Active Directory. Sometimes I need to log in to the application using my Active Directory account, instead of using the regular admin for vRealize Operations. If I want to deploy this tool to more users, I need that."
"They should make it easier to find those granular things that you're always looking for. You're always running into a situation where you want to use the tool to figure out a problem, but the amount of effort needed to delve into vROps and find the exact metric you're looking for is always so difficult."
