Find out in this report how the two Cloud Migration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of this solution is its flexibility."
"The most valuable features of the solution is replication to another region and the performance. The solution is stable. The solution is scalable. The initial setup is straightforward."
"Azure NetApp Files has been stable."
"Using NetApp Files got us out of a really difficult situation quickly, effectively, and at a reasonable cost."
"You can change it non-disruptively. You can increase the size and decrease the size online, which is a huge benefit compared to Azure disks. It just works seamlessly. You don't need to stop the instances."
"One aspect of Azure NetApp Files that I truly appreciate is its remarkable performance capabilities."
"Its security and ease of use are most valuable."
"I like the SnapMirror feature in Azure NetApp Files. It helps me create backups with snapshots and makes data recovery and compression."
"Having a single pane of glass where you can have both your on-prem and anything else that you spin up within AWS is useful."
"I've been very pleased with their support overall."
"The most valuable features of Nutanix Clusters are Prism Central, Micro-segmentation, and cluster scaling automation."
"In terms of dealing with our business-critical workloads, Nutanix is a highly scalable, highly resilient, and very high-performing solution."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Clusters is to protect the data."
"The scalability is good."
"The most valuable feature is having the full features of my Nutanix on-premises applications in the cloud."
"The solution can scale well."
"The deployment process is somewhat complex compared to other storage solutions."
"We were looking for a clustered solution that has over-complicated things because we had it in AWS, which is Amazon. There was a solution for clustered NetApp. That meant there would be two NetApps that were not clustered because there was no solution for a cluster. We would like there to be an HA cluster solution."
"We would like to have backup functionality built-in so that we don't run into the issue where the replication process makes a copy of the corrupted data."
"We would like for the files which are coming in that we can version them. So, if a file is accidentally deleted, there should have a recycle bin option where we can go back, and at least once, clean it up."
"Azure NetApp Files is expensive."
"The main hurdle in promoting this solution is the price. Its price definitely requires an improvement. It is more expensive than other options, so customers go for a cheaper option."
"The main area for improvement is in the support ticket system. Since it's a SaaS platform, support tickets are managed by Microsoft or NetApp backend. This can sometimes lead to cross-functional challenges for organizations."
"I would like to see multi-zone redundancy so that I don't have to worry about it. I just back up my data to that one SMB share and I know that it's replicated to a different region."
"I'd like more flexible options to get in and out of migration modes."
"Some of the interfaces aren't as intuitive as they should be."
"There are still some things that could be improved about the product."
"The biggest weakness with Clusters at this point is that the adoption rate is low because customers don't know enough about it."
"The technical support for Nutanix Clusters could be better."
"Perhaps the one thing that could be improved is the documentation around the solution."
"The reporting has room for improvement."
"The pricing can be better."
