We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure Object Storage 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."AzCopy is probably the best feature. It's a scripting app or a scripting function. Whether it's a Linux batch or a PowerShell script, you can essentially just send a file via a line of code with a specific key."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Object Storage is that it is on the cloud."
"The layout of Microsoft is professional."
"This product is very reliable and all of the security that our client requires is available."
"The product has good accessibility."
"The best thing is it's on the cloud. It's easily accessible to everyone through a mobile device, tablet, or laptop. Secondly, it's secure. Like any URL shared will not work after a few hours. Only the person concerned who has that URL can use it within a few hours to download the document. After that, it expires. Thirdly, we all keep an archive. For example, if there are old documents, they are still stored over there. Another nice Azure feature is that they have the regional set up for that storage, and there's no downtime, and I'm grateful for that. We don't have to worry, because it's secure. If something goes down, they have other copies of it on a separate server, and it's accessible."
"The solution is stable. It works fine for us."
"I appreciate the scalability of this solution; it is fully scalable and excellent for certain tasks."
"I like Nutanix Prism Central. The primary benefit is that we can manage everything from the same page."
"What I like most about Nutanix Files Storage is the way it makes copies of the data. The solution also has high availability, which is excellent. Another valuable feature of Nutanix Files Storage is self-service, so users won't have to depend on the IT team much."
"The real-time alerts generated by this system enable us to swiftly address and mitigate such threats."
"I appreciate its storage licensing model, as it offers flexibility."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward. With a few clicks, you can stand up your storage. It reduces the overall life cycle of deployment within the ecosystem."
"They have well-documented best practices and the interface is good."
"Unified Storage's centralized management features enable us to accomplish whatever we want in terms of operations and migrations."
"The solution is simple and robust."
"One of the things that are currently important is consistency. To achieve this, another database called Cosmos DB is available. We want to have a similar consistency to the one in Cosmos DB but at a cheaper price."
"Our current Azure setup faces challenges with API connectivity, particularly due to misconfigurations related to changes in Azure Graph."
"The cost of support is always expensive."
"The solution's stability should be improved."
"I have no complaints about Microsoft Azure Object Storage, but maybe its market size could be more extensive, and its backup speed enhanced."
"We've seen some performance issues with Azure Table storage. It's quite slow. The performance surrounding it should be improved to speed things up a bit."
"Improvements should be made as per customer requirements."
"The efficiency depends on various operations, and therefore, it should involve multiple vendor support."
"Allowing the use of the Gflag compromises the integrity of the Nutanix system and its established standards."
"The graphical user interface could provide more detail. It would be nice if we could click on the service and get some expanded definitions of them. When hiring new people, it's difficult to teach them how everything works, but if they can access everything, they can teach themselves."
"The escalation process with technical support could do with some improvement."
"The solution should increase its storage capabilities."
"Customer service is more difficult to call and they do not responding as much as, for example, DataCore. It's not the same level of satisfaction compared to DataCore. Responses could be faster."
"With all of the Nutanix equipment, the licensing is expensive. We operate in the enterprise space, but we're a midsized company. At times, the price tag is a little bit shocking for a company with only 35 employees."
"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."
"The documentation on the support site needs to be improved."
