We performed a comparison between HPE Nimble Storage 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."We're able to get higher-density workloads on the same infrastructure, and we have a smaller physical footprint. The performance is excellent – during our test the bottlenecks are never on the X array, it just keeps picking up the pace to match what you need. The real-time visibility is a differentiator in my opinion."
"The solution is very straightforward to set up."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe helps to improve our processing speed. It is user-friendly and easy to use."
"Pure has signature security technology, which cannot be deleted, even if you are an administrator."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe will quickly overcome all the hurdles you face, including network and latency issues."
"The Pure1 component is most valuable at this point in time when comparing it with EMC. Pure1 is where you can have your diagnostics in the cloud, so you can look at things from your mobile phone."
"Overall stability is very good. It is a very stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"Nimble Storage is a great storage solution which will give you a lot insight on the growth of your storage."
"They could probably improve an organization with just about anything. It is all a matter of ease of use, ease of the implementation, etc."
"It's given us more time to do the important things, less time worrying about SANs and failures and picking up the pieces. It just works."
"The solution runs pretty fast."
"There are a lot of redundancies in all the right areas, so it is pretty stable."
"InfoSight, for sure, has been the best feature so far."
"VMware integration, why is pretty self-explanatory."
"The most valuable features are its cost-effectiveness, performance, and its deduplication deficiencies."
"It has enterprise data services with consolidated storage data protection and disaster recovery. One valuable aspect is its efficiency as a robust platform. There is an ease of managing all processes. The data recovery process is remarkably fast. It’s a stable solution. The product is scalable. It provides high-speed live migration capability."
"In the world of IT operations, there is a lot of noise. Traditionally, systems would generate a great deal of alerts, events, and notifications, often leading to the operator either a) not seeing critical alerts since they are lost in the noise or b) disregarding the alerts/events."
"Best features are around data locality, compression, and deduplication."
"Single click actions is definitely the most important. They were not even aware that they wanted this."
"In addition to the hyper-converged infrastructure, most of our clients are pleased with Acropolis' built-in replication in terms of the DR setup. Our clients also like Prism Central's advanced management and analytics, and many find Nutanix Flow and playbooks incredibly useful."
"It is 100% stable. It's the most stable infrastructure that we have."
"This is a complete, very user-friendly product."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is it has centralized management."
"We need better data deduplication."
"We would like to see VNC integration or be able to use Pure Storage with VNC."
"The software layer has to improve."
"The tool's portfolio is minimal. It is expensive."
"In the next release, I would like to see real-time analytics for further insight into consumption models."
"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."
"Every time I think of something that needs to improve, they're one step ahead, which I love. The only area I wish to see improve, I believe is coming, is in the FlashBlade product. Blade implementation fell short on a few of the services."
"It is on the expensive side."
"We would like there to be more enhanced features."
"The HPE Nimble Storage could have better integration with monitoring and machine learning system information solutions."
"I would like to see native network attached storage (NAS) functionality. Our customers are looking for NAS, and Nimble can't give it to them."
"The amount of firmware updates released seem excessive."
"I would like to see an added feature to auto-fix, or a dynamic alerting system on storage."
"The dashboard can be improved."
"We have had some stability issues with one array which has happened twice during subsequent software updates but is due to a bad Postgres database."
"The solution could reduce its price."
"I would have liked it if Nutanix were a hardware as well as a software platform."
"The pricing of the solution is too high. It needs to be adjusted or lowered to be more competitive."
"The process of migrating from old hardware to new could improve."
"There is room to enhance the micro-segmentation."
"While their overall Nutanix Bible is good, they are lacking good descriptions for particular scenarios that might be helpful to many users."
"I believe that improvements could be made in regards to the DR in addition to deduplication and integration with others platforms. They also do not offer opportunities for network virtualization so it would be nice to see that in the future."
"I would enjoy an advanced mode where experienced users can leverage their knowledge to do advanced things currently only allowed using the command line tools on the CVM."
"We would like to see it support other systems outside of the compute stack from which it was built."
