We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure Object Storage 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."I appreciate the scalability of this solution; it is fully scalable and excellent for certain tasks."
"The tool's most valuable feature is performance."
"It is a stable solution and serve our purposes"
"This solution is easy to use, and performance-wise it is better than others."
"Microsoft Azure Object Storage offers hassle-free usage. It is easy to configure."
"The most valuable feature is the cost value, which is very important for long term retention."
"You can peer into different levels of the archive."
"We can easily create a storage layer in any system."
"Nutanix Unified Storage is a simple, user-friendly, and stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is that it is highly available, solving the pain-point of delaying updates to Windows-based file servers during production hours. And then the second one would be ransomware protection and analytics. It gives you great visibility and protection on your file shares that are otherwise the most common sources of vulnerabilities."
"Nutanix Volumes is a perfectly stable product."
"The management interface is great and you have handy access to several details about your file shares."
"What I found most valuable in Nutanix Files Storage is its high availability and ability to scale out with many VMs."
"The Nutanix block files are the most valuable feature."
"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."
"The setup process could always be a bit easier."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"The pricing of the solution can be improved."
"The efficiency depends on various operations, and therefore, it should involve multiple vendor support."
"Improvements should be made as per customer requirements."
"Object Storage's integration with other backup software could be improved."
"The initial setup could be more straightforward. It would be best if you had a little bit of training or an understanding of the concepts. It's important because if you don't do that, then you might end up not following the best practices. Then you will learn it the hard way by making mistakes and then know that you shouldn't have done this or that. It's better to attend workshops and take a hands-on approach."
"The solution can be quite slow."
"The current hardware is not as dense as it could be. In our deployment, we have 2 PB per site, and we have to have 24 nodes. That's a lot of cabling and network ports that we use up. More dense nodes would be better."
"Nutanix needs to improve their cybersecurity options at the storage level."
"Allowing the use of the Gflag compromises the integrity of the Nutanix system and its established standards."
"The solution is very expensive."
"One thing I'd appreciate is having a desktop application similar to what VMware offered."
"The GUI is easy to use, but it's complex to do tasks from the command line. That is one way they could simplify things for the engineers. People tend to use a graphical interface more than the command line interface. If anything goes wrong, we need to do troubleshooting from the CLI. It would be nice if there were more ways to fix issues within the GUI."
"The feature request I have is for the consistent improvement of how user account permissions are assigned in Nutanix Unified Storage."
"The solution should keep adding new features to be competitive in the market."
