We performed a comparison between Dell XtremIO and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two All-Flash Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The standout features for us in Pure FlashArray X NVMe are its robust DDoS protection, seamless transparent failover, and failback capabilities ensuring high availability."
"Offers excellent features like efficient data reduction, a reliable SafeMode, and a great support model for continuous assistance and updates."
"The duplication algorithm allows us to get a lot more use out of less storage. We're running a five terabyte array right now and we're running probably about 30 terabytes on it. So the duplication rate is pretty phenomenal, without a cost to performance. It still runs pretty smoothly."
"Overall stability is very good. It is a very stable solution."
"FlashArray has some fresh efficiency features. I've never seen a storage solution with a compression rating this high before. It's at least 4-to-1 on Oracle databases. It's the best flash storage for Oracle."
"The system allows for seamless learning experiences, facilitating quick and easy cloning of environments within minutes."
"What I really like about this program, is that it is easy to use and easy to configurate."
"It's helped us because we've changed fundamentally what we talk about. We don't talk about storage and different tiers of storage anymore nor do we talk about servers. We talk now about applications and how applications impact the business and end users."
"Thin storage allocation"
"Xtrem10's features are more simple to implement. The integration and interface are also good."
"A valuable feature of XtremIO is that, in terms of administration, it's simple and manageable."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its high performance."
"I like the deduplication and auto-tiering features."
"XtremIO is very stable."
"Initially, we faced numerous issues with our analytical systems. However, we saw performance improvement after the implementation of the solution."
"The most valuable features are: complete performance and ease of use."
"The cloud features in-site offering, which I found to be very interesting."
"It is less expensive than VMware products. It is also a little bit more flexible, but it really comes down to price for us."
"It's much easier and faster even when you want to create a server from a template or clone."
"It offers very useful data protection."
"Ease of deployment"
"It has a single pane of glass and you don't have to jump around various toolsets."
"The virtualization environment is now much easier to manage and maintain, there is only one vendor to call in case of issues and one single console to manage everything."
"I like NCI's dashboard. If there are any infrastructure issues, we'll get alerts inside the dashboard. NCI provides a single platform for managing all of our databases. We are running SQL and Linux databases."
"The tool's portfolio is minimal. It is expensive."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing of the product."
"I'd like to see the product implement active replication for vehicles such as VMware."
"It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking."
"We have run into a couple of instances recently where we are running out of space. So we have had to buy some more packs for it and they have deployed fine and it has increased smoothly."
"In the next release, I would like to see real-time analytics for further insight into consumption models."
"I would like to see replication and DR features in the next release of this solution."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."
"I am not too impressed with XtremeIO because we had a major failure."
"Right now, external appliances are needed to replicate XtremIO to XtremIO, or to another EMC system."
"If you are looking at flash storage solutions, XtremIO doesn't offer any unique features. Most of my customers are migrating their workload from XtremIO to other formats because of this."
"This solution is geared toward enterprise-level companies. Small and medium-sized businesses would find it extremely expensive."
"The product could be improved by reducing the pricing and having better organization in their technical support team."
"The GUI could be modified more in terms of how the different components are linked to each other."
"The management should be improved and the GUI interface could be better and easier."
"In the next release, the solution could have better integration and if we can host assets on the cloud, such as NetApp has the NetApp volumes, which we can host on the cloud directly called NetApp CVO (cloud volume ONTAP). Dell EMC should come up with something purely on the cloud rather than manage services."
"The name of the solutions offered by Nutanix does not indicate what the tool does."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure lacks compatibility with certain older processors."
"I would like them to update their licensing to provide more features with their basic license."
"I think some of the tasks that must be done using CLI could be added to the web interface."
"This solution offers excellent functionality but could use a stronger interface."
"In the next release of this solution, they could improve by being more competitive with VMware. I would like all third-party solutions to work well with Nutanix Acropolis AOS."
"In a hybrid cloud setup, we should be able to port our floors from on-premises to the public cloud and from the public cloud to on-premises."
"An area for improvement would be the cyber security features."
