We performed a comparison between Amazon S3 and Nutanix Unified Storage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Public Cloud Storage Services solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Easy to use, very intuitive, fast, and quite flexible."
"The most valuable features of Amazon S3 are the accuracy and the life cycle policies, which help when moving from Amazon S3 to Amazon Glacier."
"The integration with Cloudfront helps in fetching the static phase and default phases in case our actual service is down."
"The tool helps us with data backup storage of payment files and helps us avoid issues with clients when we miss the data. For instance, in the payment file of my Google client, you can find details of one-to-one transactions like the payment information on the file header, payment ID, payment client ID, group headers, etc. We get these details into the file format of ISO which is the accepted format at JP Morgan & Chase. Once we get the file format, we process it through S3."
"The solution easily connects with the cloud, hardware, or other services to move data."
"Amazon S3 is very flexible and provides high storage."
"The initial setup is not difficult or overly complex. It's very straightforward and easy to implement."
"The solution's peak-up time is good."
"We have been able to save local disk space by using Data Lens. We upload 18 GB to the cloud and are able to save 20% to 25%."
"Nutanix Volumes is a perfectly stable product."
"What I found most valuable in Nutanix Files Storage is its high availability and ability to scale out with many VMs."
"The solution is simple and robust."
"The customer service executives of all Nutanix products are active and responsive."
"It is a highly scalable solution."
"The integration with Prism Central makes it a lot easier to manage, so we just have a single pane of glass location that we can go to. We do not have a separate admin console or anything that we have to use."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward. With a few clicks, you can stand up your storage. It reduces the overall life cycle of deployment within the ecosystem."
"Could include some additional security features."
"When we need to find the queries there is no user interface, it is the only textual format that is bulky. If we need some data we will use Athena for queries and we will get results. When comparing this solution to others, such as DataDog, they provide a wonderful UI, and user-friendly dashboards, and many other features that this solution is lacking."
"Sometimes we have to concentrate networks to a certain location, like the EU, for example. Therefore, if we set S3 in the EU region from the Middle East or Africa, the latency is an issue and we find it hard to connect to that S3."
"The down side is the web app should be aware of all the features that S3 provides in order to leverage its full potential."
"Amazon S3 should have more frequent updates."
"They could always increase object storage ability."
"The solution needs to improve test recognition."
"We would like some improvement in the cost of storage via this solution, as it currently has a very high price point."
"Another aspect that needs improvement is continuous protection against security threats such as ransomware and potential data leakage."
"The feature request I have is for the consistent improvement of how user account permissions are assigned in Nutanix Unified Storage."
"The implementation is a little bit complex and should be made easier."
"The solution should keep adding new features to be competitive in the market."
"The solution is very expensive."
"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."
"The documentation on the support site needs to be improved."
"From a management side, the one thing I would prefer is if it were a bit less expensive for smaller enterprises. It's a bit costly. If they provided flexible modules where you could pick and choose features, and only pay for what you use, that would be an improvement."
