We performed a comparison between Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) and Oracle VM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."StarWind SANs come with outstanding support."
"StarWind Virtual SAN is a very easy-to-use solution that can be quickly and easily deployed and configured without intimate and specific knowledge in the virtualization sphere."
"With an uptime of 384 days, StarWind has improved overall server reliability."
"StarWind Virtual SAN is essentially hardware agnostic, allowing us to build out a specific hardware layer based upon the customer's unique requirements."
"It has reduced the amount of switching, network connections, etc., because the converged StarWind Virtual SAN allows us to connect high-speed network interfaces between different boxes instead of having to connect SANs via the network, then connect those two clusters together."
"The ProActive support gives me peace of mind because I am a one man shop, but with the technical support behind me, I feel like more than just one person. We spent two to three hours, depending on what we have to do, always on the phone, and they do not push to end the call."
"StarWind has provided us with a top-notch, well-supported, robust vSAN offering when other vendors have moved to hyper-converged solutions that are outside of our average clients' reach from a financial and resource perspective."
"This software lets us maintain storage redundancy across both of our Hyper-V hosts, so if one goes down the environment fails over to the other and we have minimal to no downtime."
"The product is easy to manage."
"The most valuable feature is the one-click to update the firmware and software."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS is flexible and has helped people to work from home during the pandemic."
"It has centralized management. It is easy for an engineer to manage. More work goes to patching, upgrades, and maintenance. Nutanix is very easy to upgrade. It takes one click. Engineers do not need to spend additional time with Nutanix for upgrades. With one click, it will complete the upgrade and show the results. Other hypervisor solutions are not like this, specifically since you must do all the components one by one."
"The fact that there is only one interface to deploy a complete solution for maximum storage is fantastic."
"The management interface of this solution is great."
"Acropolis AOS is scalable to nodes and the cloud."
"I have found the solution to be stable."
"Ability to patch with no downtime."
"I like Oracle VM's vMotion and cloning features."
"It is highly esteemed for its ability to efficiently optimize and enhance the operational speed and responsiveness of virtualized environments."
"The stability of the product is fine."
"The ability to live migrate VMs on the fly from one hypervisor to another has been very useful."
"It is very useful for the project management of our company."
"I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"New versions of this solution should be tested more thoroughly before the release as we had a few problems with one version due to a bug."
"I would like an automated installation/configuration despite the fact that their service is very collaborative, a customer should be able to deploy the solution by themselves."
"Though I have learned some of the nuances with the upgrading of firmware/windows/etc., it would be nice to have a more efficient method of doing so."
"The platform needs to improve user management and the web console."
"The documentation is good yet is still lacking in a few areas."
"We have, in rare cases, received conflicting guidance between different support folks within StarWind."
"They recommend RAID10 for HDD, which reduces the usable storage capacity."
"The documentation could be clearer in terms of explaining the installation."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with external storage using the fiber channel"
"The reporting section of the dashboard could be improved to include more detailed reporting about the servers."
"The cost of the solution is too expensive. There are other options, such as VMware, that are offered for less money. In Latin America, it seems to be overpriced for the market."
"I'd like it to be more API-based."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure's LTS version needs to be more reliable."
"They have offered some new features that I have not deployed so I assume that these issues might have been addressed already, but, at my time there was a networking problem."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS is new technology in a competitive market. Pricing is too high for a new product and requires better discounts to be able to compete with IBM, Dell EMC, and HP."
"The storage and back-up facilities could be improved. We need day-to-day encrypting of the database."
"If you do a gap analysis between VMware and Oracle VM, you can't do VM Snapshot. That's one thing you can't do. It's a sort of a snapshot, but it's not really Snapshot technology. It requires that you're running on CFS-2."
"Integration capabilities are a little complicated. It could be made easier. Whether integrating with Azure or other platforms or integration with OIC itself, the integration part is a little complicated."
"There is no memory over-subscription and CPU over-subscription. That has to be improved in terms of Oracle VM perspective. The other leading virtualizing software solutions have this feature."
"Incorporating analytics related to performance, particularly within the dashboard interface, would be beneficial."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"The configuration can be more flexible. It is a necessity."
"The user interface of the version that we have requires improvement. They have already improved the user interface in the latest version, but we are yet to migrate to that. The new UI is much better. I would like it to be simple. It is serving all of our needs, and I don't think it is necessary to keep adding. We are able to provision a VM in ten minutes, and provisioning it in five minutes will not have any added benefit."
"Oracle VM needs to add a backup feature."
