We performed a comparison between Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) and Portworx Enterprise based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Software Defined Storage (SDS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Best features are around data locality, compression, and deduplication."
"Nutanix has several unique capabilities to ensure linear scalability."
"Scaling is very easy and no limitations are set."
"To receive a performance enhancement by merely clicking the one button upgrade is the true value of the platform and what I look forward to the most."
"Their Google operating system is more mature, so their results are much better."
"Management is simple"
"Acropolis has a great interface and lots of management features packaged with it at an affordable price."
"It has seamless expandability."
"The best thing about Portworx is the Stork, they have called the VPS (Volume Replacement Strategy) and they also have topology awareness, and these are the three features I like."
"I like that you have a small dedicated file system that is fast and resilient for containerized workloads."
"Portworx virtualizes the aspects of the underlying block storage. That is good because they can also use block storage for their future deployment instead of just NFS."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"A custom IBM script is designed to tackle the storage management challenges within containerized environments, providing crucial data services and features required for enterprise applications."
"Portworx is a simple solution. It's similar to Pure Storage products. They're all easy to use and install. You need to have a little expertise with containers to use Portworx, but it will be no problem for you if you understand containers."
"The new features are not free. You need to pay for each feature."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like better and more competitive pricing."
"I feel like the flow chart and the automated processes have some room for improvement. They're nearly there, and the rest is fine. They've improved a lot over the past few years."
"We had a few problems with the foundation machine that you can use to build your systems out. We've got it working now, but it should be improved."
"It would be great if they could improve the GUI features."
"The product requires a lot of resources."
"The pricing of the solution is too high. It needs to be adjusted or lowered to be more competitive."
"I would like to see a more native mapping to mainframe-type systems."
"The documentation could be better."
"It would be highly advantageous to include an integrated backup solution within the same license, rather than purchasing backup separately."
"They have not integrated Portworx with Ondat since they are too focused now on Pure Storage APIs and not on users like us."
"The integration has room for improvement."
"I think the vendor could provide more training for new users who may not be familiar with containers."
