We performed a comparison between Nutanix Database Service and VMware Tanzu Data Services based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Database Development and Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Overall, the solution is very good. It's easy to use and simple to handle many actions, such as VM cloning, testing, and prediction."
"This is a very useful solution for database management."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Database Service is the ability to manage multiple vendors."
"It has some very good features. It really works with multiple silos in terms of infrastructure, database updates, and migration. So many things are easy with Era."
"We have an enterprise-level backup product that we're required to use, so we don't rely on Era's version. [But] it could be an awesome first-line backup. It's very elegant the way they designed it. It's quick and it doesn't take up nearly as much storage space as traditional backups. It would definitely help to save on tier-one storage."
"The Time Machine is the most valuable feature for us. Using it means that we don't have to take regular snapshots, yet we are still able to restore the database quickly in the event of a problem."
"There are a lot of options for working with the database."
"It saves operation time and day-to-day tasks."
"The most valuable feature for us is horizontal scaling."
"It can be configured to be a very fast message broker. I like the stability, the built-in admin tools and plugin architecture."
"Pivotal Greenplum's shared-nothing architecture."
"Scalability is simple because it's an MPP database. If you need more processing power or you need more storage, you just add a few more nodes in the cluster. It works on common commodity hardware. You can use any type of server. You don't need to have proprietary hardware. It's fairly flexible."
"The solution's best feature is its exceptional speed, delivering efficient utilization of resources."
"Companies can scale the solution, so long as they have server room."
"Very sophisticated routing control and priority messaging capabilities"
"The solution improved our site reliability."
"Patch management is an issue as it regularly causes stability problems."
"I would like to see the SQL compatibility enhanced."
"Their support is helpful, but maybe they need more technical staff. Their response was slow once, but that was the only time it happened, so I'm not sure."
"We are also overwhelmed with the quality of technical support associated with the product."
"The graphical user interfaces could be much more user-friendly. They are already user-friendly, but they could be simpler so that we do not need L3 staff to handle them. If they were simpler, we could also have some command center or L1/L1.5 associates do some housekeeping activities on it."
"The patching should be a one-button function. Also, it works about 80 percent of the time, but 20 percent of the time it requires manual intervention. And sometimes, until you understand the technical underpinnings of that process, you can't fix it. I thought we would move past that. In the last version, they broke a big chunk of that for me, and that's why I'm waiting for the new release because they promised me it would fix the problem."
"It would be helpful if we could patch Windows operating systems with the solution."
"The updating of the database engine is something that can be improved. For example, assume that we are using PostgreSQL out of the box, and it is version 10. If we want to migrate to version 11, 12, or 13, then it is not very easy to do that using Nutanix Era."
"VMware RabbitMQ needs to create a new queue system."
"I saw some limitation with respect to the column store, and removing this would be an improvement."
"The product needs to focus on offering more use case documentation because browsing the internet to find it can be a process filled with struggles."
"The initial deployment was a little difficult."
"We would like to see Greenplum maintain a closer relationship with and parity to features implemented in PostgreSQL."
"Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient."
"We needed to configure additional plugins. While it was relatively easy to do this on-premises, it became more challenging in the cloud."
"This solution struggled with multi-regional synchronization."
