We performed a comparison between Nutanix Prism and WhatsUp Gold based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Virtualization Management Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Everything has been valuable, without a doubt the server is self-managed with Prism in an efficient way, it solves possible logical errors to maintain production without interruptions, it's great."
"Nutanix Prism offers web scaling, which facilitates easy scaling."
"Its scalability is valuable. It's scalable and fast."
"I don't know how to explain how much time and effort switching to Nutanix HCI has saved us. It's 80 percent more time-efficient and convenient than having to use multiple interfaces to deal with storage and compute in our hypervisor."
"Before implementing Prism, we had an issue with too many alerts for similar issues, so it was difficult to maintain them. The alerts kept coming, and we had a hard time keeping track of everything. We had multiple alerts about CPU, RAM, and storage. Prism helps us identify and eliminate false alerts because most of them were redundant."
"The pricing is very good if you compare it to other competitors."
"One valuable aspect of Nutanix Prism is how easy it is to set up. The setup process is useful to us because all we need to do is to set some variables and go with the recommended settings."
"What I like the most are the self-healing and the ability to see everything at a glance, from metrics to the resiliency status of the hardware. As soon as you log in, that's what you see."
"The most valuable features are network bandwidth monitoring and monitoring device health."
"The installation and configuration process are easy."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of resources."
"The most important features of WhatsUp Gold are the server health and uptime it provides. Additionally, WhatsUp Gold is a Windows-based solution which is a benefit."
"The documentation is very good."
"It handles the basics of monitoring."
"WhatsUp Gold is very easy to deploy."
"This is a good, stable network monitoring solution for devices."
"The replication we have does not have any backup systems built-in. We have to separate license records for backup, like onboard. We would like to have this in a future release."
"No integration of commands to manage AHV."
"Some of the products are not interoperable for multi-cloud or multi-site tasks."
"The price could be improved."
"The three clusters we have at our remote offices are just one-node clusters. If there were an easier way to upgrade items such as the BIOS, SATA drives, the BMC, et cetera, on those, that would be helpful."
"They don't have many organized documents for troubleshooting problems. If you look at the support portal or the website, you will not get detailed information about problems or redirection to more information. They should continue working on the software solution but enlarge the documentation."
"The product currently fails to provide a complete view to customers."
"The solution could be a bit more user-friendly. The dashboard and configuration should be much easier to use."
"Integrations with other devices. I want to have a product that has full integration with my active directory so I can track user activity. I want to track my complete user activity, so I'm looking for a product to implement in the near future, which will have full integration with my network and active directory users. It became very difficult to track user activity."
"The new release cadence needs to be improved. It takes a while for them to add new features and functionality. There should be a quicker turnaround with new versions."
"Importing the maps and being able to customize them could be easier."
"I would like to see better integration with switches so that you can see what is connected to each port, what the traffic is, and have a network map automatically generated."
"The licensing model could be improved. Right now, the levels are too far apart. This causes the solution to be more expensive than it needs to be."
"We can never achieve or get a good picture of the network topology."
"The pricing for this solution has gone up quite recently, which has led some of our customers to buy an alternative product."
"The technical support does not bother to respond."
