We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure DevOps and Nutanix Cloud Manager (NCM) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Suites solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The build and release management features are valuable."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Azure DevOps are high-level protection. The protection is very important to the customers to prevent eavesdropping. eavesdropping is when a hacker tries to get into the solution. With this solution is it difficult for them to do it."
"Overall, so far we have no major issues to report."
"Azure Port is considered the most valuable feature."
"The installation is very straightforward."
"What I like the most about this product is that it's free and it's secure."
"It's got something that you won't find in other products."
"The simplicity and ease of use are two features that we have found to be most valuable."
"The Nutanix stack is hyper-converged. I don't need to buy expensive SAN storage because it's integrated into the hardware appliance. That's the best part. We get excellent latency by leveraging local storage."
"The most valuable feature is definitely the disaster recovery portion, which they call Xi Leap. It's included in the licensing. Before, we were on a solution that charged extra for DR software. And with Prism Pro, not only can we manage all of our other infrastructure in addition to our DR, in the same console, but we can set up recovery points. We can also set up scripts to run, so it gives us everything we need to have a solid DR plan in place."
"It is interesting to me how Nutanix manages hyperconvergence, the possible failures that can occur in the platform migrating machine machines to nodes without problems while solving the failed node, but without a doubt prism is the feature that I value the most since I can manage and monitor everything in a single tool, giving me simplicity, statistics, states of equipment resources, alerts, updates in a single click, migrate equipment nodes manually or automatically."
"The solution expands easily."
"Moreover, the deployment process was so easy and smooth that post rack and stack and management IP configuration, it just took less than 2 days to configure the cluster of 40 nodes, upgrade the firmware, create file service and VM space and integrate with our infrastructure."
"One of the solution's greatest strengths is its "Single pane of glass" feature, which allows users to access all pertinent data in one location immediately upon logging in. Additionally, the solution's ease of deployment and mobility are notable aspects that I personally find appealing."
"Using X-Play is simple. In three steps you can define things and there is also a wizard to guide you... The wizard is the simplest way to automate and the resulting automation saves us time."
"The file server feature in Nutanix is very good, offering a solution-worthy feature that can host files, blocks, and object storage in the same cluster."
"I would like to see DevOps have the ability to give us something with a compatibility or traceability matrix."
"With Microsoft, I would prefer to have more test plans. It's very difficult to find individual test plan module training."
"The solution can be improved by having better integration with other cloud platforms."
"Another area is the Azure monitoring agent for Citrix machines. There's room for improvement there too."
"Requirements management is an area that can be improved."
"It is not that intuitive. Sometimes, it is hard to find some of the functions. I would like to have an old-fashioned menu structure to be able to easily find things. Its environment setup is not very good. They should improve the way it is set up for different screens and make it easier to find functionalities and maintain team members."
"I would like to automate notifications on sprint planning. When we are getting to the end of sprint planning, we would be automatically notified."
"There are certain areas in Azure DevOps that are better in other products."
"Nutanix, as of today, they do not have many of the features that VMware hypervisor provides, such as the memory layer."
"The solution's virtualization could be even better."
"Nutanix has room for improvement around the partner tools and making them approachable and easier to learn."
"While using Nutanix, we need to switch off the VM in case we are doing an update. We have to turn off the VM if we are updating the memory or hard disk space. In a normal scenario, we switch off the VM, update it and then update the RAM. Once updated, we need to switch on the machine and wait for the RAM to initialize. The same goes for hard drives as well."
"In this solution, it is difficult to organize the VM folders and subfolders."
"We would like to be able to provision virtual machines at the computing level, as that would give us an added value against the competition."
"The flow and management capabilities of the platform could be improved to handle additional features and functionalities, especially since the company currently uses some other solutions from a competitor."
"The solution should introduce more automation features."
