We performed a comparison between Amazon S3 and Nutanix Unified Storage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Public Cloud Storage Services solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."You don't have to specify your clone, availability clone, or your locations. Everything's over there. They have a receipt for the instance where we have to select the exact location of what we are clicking. The S3 storage capacity is high, and the price is reasonable."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon S3 is its flexibility as a solution to suit many different use cases."
"The storage factor and data extraction are faster because we can use Redshift for extraction."
"Amazon S3 is easily accessible, fast and effective. Its performance is good."
"The stability is very good."
"We appreciate that this solution is relatively easy to use, straightforward, and reliable."
"I don't have any problems with the solution. It's issue-free."
"Technical support is excellent."
"My opinion is that this solution has very good stability."
"The most valuable features are the interface and support."
"Nutanix Unified Storage is a simple, user-friendly, and stable solution."
"Nutanix Objects is reliable."
"The solution is very easy to manage."
"What I found most valuable in Nutanix Files Storage is its high availability and ability to scale out with many VMs."
"The most valuable feature is that it is highly available, solving the pain-point of delaying updates to Windows-based file servers during production hours. And then the second one would be ransomware protection and analytics. It gives you great visibility and protection on your file shares that are otherwise the most common sources of vulnerabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the easy interface."
"There are some scalability limitations."
"The solution could improve by having a simpler way to have the detail size of a file in the CLI to be read or understood easier. Today, it's a little raw in the way the details are presented. You have to make some scripts and some modifications to be able to see the information properly of the size of a given bucket or the size of a file."
"Amazon S3 could improve some of the features, such as indexing, or we should have more information about all the data stored in a single place. This way we can see what data resides where instead of going in different buckets, file locations manually, or searching. An index would be nice, allowing us to directly go to a location to use the date."
"The search option must be enabled in the UI to filter and retrieve files."
"We need the mapping to Windows. That feature is needed in S3. That feature is in the Azure cloud where we can map it like a drive. We can map the cloud storage to the effort driving our Windows PC. But Amazon is not providing that feature for the S3 solution."
"The major challenge is the inability to create more than ten policies."
"I would like a batch downloading option added to the AWS console."
"When we need to find the queries there is no user interface, it is the only textual format that is bulky. If we need some data we will use Athena for queries and we will get results. When comparing this solution to others, such as DataDog, they provide a wonderful UI, and user-friendly dashboards, and many other features that this solution is lacking."
"Improving quota policies would be advantageous, particularly by offering the option to implement blocking instead of just issuing warnings."
"What's missing in Nutanix Files Storage is the support for multiple intranets or VLANs on the same file from different networks and network devices."
"One thing I'd appreciate is having a desktop application similar to what VMware offered."
"The solution should increase its storage capabilities."
"Managing other storage infrastructure on Nutanix Files Storage is an area for improvement. In particular, I want to add other forms of storage from different vendors not currently in Nutanix Files Storage, to the file server, for better management."
"We have issues with software updates occasionally."
"We have had to deal with some infrastructure and general cluster issues but these issues don't impact storage."
"We have some problems with Nutanix Unified Storage's support because they asked us to change our hardware."
