We performed a comparison between Nutanix Prism and Zabbix 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."The centralized management of Nutanix Prism is the best feature."
"The most valuable features are the dashboards."
"The pricing is very good if you compare it to other competitors."
"In the six years we have been using Nutanix Prism, we have never had a problem with stability."
"Prism is easy to scale."
"We can also manage our disaster recovery plan from a single console."
"It provides a single pane of glass and the graphics and the presentation are quite good. It's quite exciting for me. I would rate it 10 out of 10. The user interface is pretty easy to use for compute and storage."
"Nutanix has one of the greatest support organizations that I've ever had to use. They're polite, you get someone on the phone fast, and they always find a solution for you."
"The solution allows you to configure and customize how you want to collect information from servers or other systems."
"It has good graphs of what is going on within the operating system."
"The most valuable feature is monitoring."
"They've already added extra features, such as noise-canceling and facial recognition, which is great."
"Zabbix helps to save time."
"During my testing, the features that I like the most are that it can be integrated with my system, and it provides me with reports of all of my servers."
"There is less computing power needed for scaling."
"The calculations part is the most valuable."
"Nutanix does not support all of the Linux distributions, so we have to use VMware in some cases."
"I would like to have some cluster management tools included."
"When we get a request from a user for a file-level recovery, there are self-recovery options, but they only work if the replication is available to that cluster locally... In VMware, we could restore a VM and attach the hard drive to any other server and copy the file easily. But that kind of facility is not available in AHV."
"The cost is a negative aspect."
"We definitely have some issues with Nutanix Prism. Our main issue is that we cannot operate the database. It would seem that less configuration would be desirable, because between Nutanix and the Oracle database on Windows, there tends to be problems."
"The initial setup is extremely complex. I am Nutanix Certified, so I had the ability, but there were still things that we weren't trained in. They mandate—not recommend, but mandate—having an approved installer do it, and it was a very painful process. The installer that we took from CDW was not good, in the extreme. I had to go back to Nutanix directly and get all the problems fixed."
"The VM backup could be better, and its licensing could be better. We have had some licensing issues with Nutanix Files. The default license should be 1 TB or more. Currently, for Nutanix Files sharing, we can only use 500 Gigabytes."
"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."
"Zabbix could improve when it comes to large-scale use cases. Additionally, the inventory could be better when connecting to other solutions, such as ServiceNow. There show to be better integration with other platforms and storage."
"The user interface could be better."
"The documentation gets a bit messy between versions and is not too detailed, which is a bit painful for first-timers, especially when they run into issues."
"Correlation of events would be a wonderful addition."
"I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes."
"The System Center Operations Manager can be improved."
"There's a small module of APM, however, it is not an enhanced version. People usually ask for a full-fledged APM solution."
"Zabbix does not draw automatic mapping of the network, this is something they should add in the future. There is a lot of effort that is involved in tailoring some of the settings which could be made easier."
