While a minimum of three blocks and four nodes is necessary to mitigate risk, the associated cost is substantial. I would like to see a reduction in this cost. The reporting has room for improvement. The automated playbook claims to be improved with AI, but I do not see any improvement.

We've had some challenges with the implementation. We had to go through all the necessary setups, and we had some challenges in terms of integrating our current environment into the Nutanix cloud. We also worked with some NC2 experts, and we've gotten over most of the challenges. Now, we are able to set up the cluster on AWS accurately. The next step is to get fully integrated with Prism Central so that we can continue with the POC test.

Not much can be improved at the moment, given that we're quite an early adopter and we're not quite live yet. The experience of deployment was very slick. The support from Microsoft and Nutanix was very good. Perhaps the one thing that could be improved is the features of Prism Central versus the local Prism Elements UI but I understand that is being reviewed.

The snapshots have room for improvement. The pricing can be better. They don't own the networking side of it. Nutanix is harder to restore. The problem with Nutanix is when you want to restore data and you only want to restore selected data, much more tedious. With Scale, it's a simple GUI and takes seconds.

The biggest weakness with Clusters at this point is that the adoption rate is low because customers don't know enough about it. We are just starting to get engaged with this product. It has to be priced aggressively because it needs to make sense for customers to migrate to it.
Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) is a hybrid multicloud platform with natively integrated networking between private and public clouds. It allows seamless application migration and license portability across all environments and enables customers to run the full Nutanix software stack anywhere—in private or public clouds.

I'd like more flexible options to get in and out of migration modes.

There are still some things that could be improved about the product.
Some of the interfaces aren't as intuitive as they should be. The initial setup can be slightly complex.
