We performed a comparison between NetApp StorageGRID and Nutanix Unified Storage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two File and Object Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Cost-effective and easy to deploy."
"The feature of StorageGRID that I find most valuable for ensuring data durability and protection is its Information Lifecycle Management functionality."
"It has enabled us to save money on storage costs. We removed our tape library."
"The ability to get to the StorageGRID from anywhere on my network. The solution is remote. You don't have to be at a physical location."
"It has awesome scalability. We consume it with storage appliance nodes, then we just plug and play as we need more."
"It has improved our operational efficiency through time consumption and logistics by 40 to 50 percent. Everything that had to do with our legacy tape solution has been improved and is now more efficient."
"Duplication, interface and the manageability is good and simple."
"It improves our operational efficiency."
"Nutanix has excellent product documentation available on their portals, written in simple, easy-to-understand language."
"My opinion is that this solution has very good stability."
"The most valuable features of Nutanix Unified Storage are the unified dashboard and the ease of administration."
"They have well-documented best practices and the interface is good."
"The scalability, ease of use, and technical support are the most valuable features of Nutanix Unified Storage."
"The most important point is the simplicity of the API integration. We can leverage the API integrations and connect our hybrid-cloud network environment with Nutanix's cloud storage."
"The most valuable feature is the unified dashboard, as it allows us to easily observe everything from a single location."
"Unified Storage's centralized management features enable us to accomplish whatever we want in terms of operations and migrations."
"It has its quirks here and there, but it is an older NetApp system."
"Data retrieval speed could be better."
"Improvements need to be made in the support area."
"The redundancy and reliability are great, but I also see room for improvement there. I would like to see more efficiency in the storage and dedupe/compression solutions."
"Beyond the initial setup, this product is a little bit difficult to configure."
"The integration with more apps has room for improvement."
"I would like to see them integrate more with the monitoring platforms. It is a bit difficult to get automated monitoring of the system."
"The price is something that NetApp could improve, as with most companies. NetApp is known for not being the cheapest storage option, which is also valid for StorageGRID. There are other storage options on the market which we are aware of and have done proofs of concept for, but you cannot really compare the list prices because, as a big user of NetApp storages, we have totally different prices than some list prices. Still, the price information we got for other options are almost always less expensive than StorageGRID."
"Improving quota policies would be advantageous, particularly by offering the option to implement blocking instead of just issuing warnings."
"The graphical user interface could provide more detail. It would be nice if we could click on the service and get some expanded definitions of them. When hiring new people, it's difficult to teach them how everything works, but if they can access everything, they can teach themselves."
"We have had to deal with some infrastructure and general cluster issues but these issues don't impact storage."
"Nutanix needs to improve their cybersecurity options at the storage level."
"The graphical user interfaces could benefit from more attention to detail."
"Lowering the price would improve this product."
"Customer service is more difficult to call and they do not responding as much as, for example, DataCore. It's not the same level of satisfaction compared to DataCore. Responses could be faster."
"The GUI is not user-friendly for new users and has room for improvement."
