We performed a comparison between Cloudify and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Valuable features are auto-scaling and load balancing."
"Cloudify provides the infrastructure-as-code, as well as operational action capabilities (orchestrated startups or upgrades, and more)."
"Extensible internal functions and plugins. Can implement custom plugins to fit your scenario. Python based plugins."
"Cloudify works in cases where you have very advanced service chaining requirements. It really works well there, and it fits the best. They have a standardized markup that's based on TOSCA, which is a standard. I like the fact that they're standards-based. Their solution works extremely well if you have the talent and the manpower to write TOSCA descriptors to deploy and interchange services or to automate the configuration and turn up of services."
"Product has given us the ability to catch early scaling issues that many companies hit on with private clouds."
"Has great extendability which means you can build your own custom logic."
"It enables a single platform to communicate with the entire infrastructure."
"You can use only what you need. You can remove certain Cloudify functions from the framework to create a "minified" version of what you need. This might only consist of the messaging delivery system, and the orchestration functions."
"Nutanix has the best virtual desktop infrastructure."
"The interface is very good. Before we used this solution, we had separate storage and switches, but with the hyper convert, it's all in one."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure's most valuable feature is the flexibility to move the VMs easily, keeping everything together."
"Hyper-convergence is the most valuable feature for me as it allows me to scale the hardware according to project requirements."
"Its low maintenance is a key feature. It is easy to install, upgrade, and scale by adding more blocks."
"One-click setup is a valuable feature because it allows us to set up a server automatically with a single click."
"The administration console, automation, and the first cluster are all valuable features."
"They have one of the best technical supports in my experience."
"The solution is a bit of a headache because mistakes happen in the blueprint every time we deploy and they require modifications."
"Error handling could be improved; GUI is lacking with respect to user privileges and connectivity."
"Certainly the UI could use some intensive work, but nevertheless, overall, it’s a complete product with its 3.4 version and much better features are available with 4.0."
"Install of the product itself could be improved and I would like to see better event monitoring."
"The upgrading process could be simplified."
"It lacked the user interface for multitenancy and basic platform management tasks. It is a leader in the niche area that they like to perform in, but it only does about 30% of top-tier advanced functions of platform management. It doesn't meet about 70% of what you need to manage a private cloud platform."
"Unlike the Docker environment, Cloudify takes time for configuration and its learning curve."
"Benchmark testing indicated that workloads did slightly better on our Vblock by a few percentage"
"Notifications could be improved as they're not currently very useful."
"While the customer support is truly incredible, for Spanish speakers it would be appropriate to have support in their native language to further improve problem-solving conditions."
"The one note of improvement I have for Nutanix is that the installation should be easier."
"The ability to create clusters faster would be nice to see in a future release."
"It would be great if they could improve the GUI features."
"Regarding third-party backup solutions, the only agentless option is Commvault, which is expensive, complex, and requires intensive vendor training."
"Some clients find the solution's cost to be too high."
