Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Nutanix's analytics provide better insights into all of our files.""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.""Unified Storage's centralized management features enable us to accomplish whatever we want in terms of operations and migrations.""The solution is stable and extremely easy to calibrate.""Nutanix Volumes is a perfectly stable product.""The Nutanix block files are the most valuable feature.""The reliability and availability are the most valuable features. Reliability is important because it can run my workloads. I need to be able to take advantage of the VMs that are executing on the storage. It has to be reliable. It's also important to have the storage available for scaling VMs on demand.""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 most valuable feature of Wasabi is the backups.""Wasabi is an easy-to-use solution.""We can store our videos on hot storage, allowing immediate access to them.""The tool is very user-friendly.""The most valuable feature of Wasabi is its cost.""Basically, I set Wasabi up and forget it. I'll monitor it every once in a while just to make sure that it's working correctly.""The initial setup is straightforward."

Cons
"The solution is very expensive.""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 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.""Security is an area for improvement. When there are vulnerabilities, there needs to be a faster approval process. The solution needs to automatically target the vulnerabilities and not waste too much time.""The graphical user interfaces could benefit from more attention to detail.""From a management side, the one thing I would prefer is if it were a bit less expensive for smaller enterprises. It's a bit costly. If they provided flexible modules where you could pick and choose features, and only pay for what you use, that would be an improvement.""The documentation on the support site needs to be improved.""Improving quota policies would be advantageous, particularly by offering the option to implement blocking instead of just issuing warnings."

"I don't have enough experience to understand the nuances of where they might improve.""The solution’s user reporting could be improved.""The scalability could be improved.""Having the ability to upload and download data using third-party apps such as Mega which can sync to the desktop would be excellent.""The solution must allow the extension of the retention period.""Setting up users on the appliance should be improved.""The scalability could improve."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The price of the license is expensive when comparing it to traditional storage."
  • "I find Nutanix Files Storage competitively priced, even its feature set. Its price is seven out of ten."
  • "If we compare the cost of Nutanix Objects Storage to other solutions such as VMware licenses, our current choice is Nutanix Objects Storage. This solution is more cost-effective. However, adding VMware to Nutanix would not be a cost-efficient decision, which is why we do not use it anymore."
  • "It is quite expensive otherwise as it comes with three-tier peer underlying hardware."
  • "For clients running Nutanix, the licensing cost for Files is a small add-on cost."
  • "With all of the Nutanix equipment, the licensing is expensive. We operate in the enterprise space, but we're a midsized company. At times, the price tag is a little bit shocking for a company with only 35 employees. We're not a Fortune 500 company, but we deal with Fortune 500 drug and energy companies. We have to play in that enterprise space if we're going to have enterprise customers. I'm very price-conscious, but I understand that if I want the best, I've got to pay the price."
  • "It's not the cheapest solution. It's in line with other solutions, but it offers features that the competitors don't have at any price point, especially with regard to analytics and ransomware prevention. No one else has any sort of object-based storage available. Nutanix Unified Storage is a lot more feature-rich. This is a situation where you get what you pay for."
  • "The product is pricey."

  • "I can only tell you that Wasabi costs about half what Amazon Web Services is charging. Now, the cost per month is a more difficult question. That varies depending on the capacity, the services you're employing, and that type of thing."
  • "Wasabi is a cost-effective solution for data storage, priced at just under six dollars per terabyte."
  • "The price of the solution is inexpensive."
  • "Wasabi has better pricing than Nutanix."
  • "Wasabi is a cheap solution, and users have to pay for a monthly license."
  • "The tool’s price is very reasonable."
  • "The price is reasonable."
