We performed a comparison between Nutanix Cloud Manager (NCM) and vRealize Business for Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Cost Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."One of the most valuable features is the hardware and how they have set it up to be pretty redundant. If something goes down, you can just swap it out and you're back online. If a drive or even a whole node goes down, it's pretty easy to get it back up and running."
"I do a lot of tasks via automation which I previously would have to hire people to do. The solution has helped me to eliminate a lot of low-skilled labor. I can put the money required for this job into other things."
"Among the most valuable features are the one-click upgrade, that Nutanix is very easy to understand, and that it's very user-friendly."
"The 1-Click Centralized Upgrades are really nice. When you go in and want to upgrade your Cluster, you just click a button and everything will upgrade. You don't have to go to each individual server to do the upgrades."
"We haven't faced any problems because Nutanix provides an outside team. We haven't had any issues requiring L3 support, and the L1 and L2 engineers are on-site."
"It saves time since it is a single pane of glass. Our efficiency has increased because of that. We don't have to log into multiple servers when we do upgrades. We can do it on one console. This saves us eight to 10 hours a month. Upgrade activity on servers, which was offloaded to the Nutanix platform, used to take hours on our Legacy platform."
"We use Calm's one-click self-service feature and it's really transforming the team's efficiency. The teams are used to being reactive, which is typical of what you find in IT organizations and service providers. Customers run into problems and teams react. What we're trying to do is reduce that slope and be more proactive in approach. The one-click ability is enabling us to take some of those activities and put them into operation, versus people manually responding."
"utanix Prism Pro provides robust upgrading Nutanix clusters mechanism that has long been a delightful experience delivered via one-click upgrades. The one-click process hides a lot of complexity by using advanced automation and consumer-grade design experience."
"The product provides excellent daily reports."
"The most valuable feature is that it has a very easy and adaptive look and feel, compared with some other cloud solutions."
"The flexibility is the product's most valuable feature."
"The way the dashboard works with the main orchestrator to combine different types of cloud providers is helpful."
"The tool helps us to monitor the services provided to customers as a cloud provider. The product is a monitoring solution that helps customers pay for their utilization of services."
"This solution has made us aware that we are over-provisioning our virtual machines."
"The most valuable feature is the metering capability."
"The most valuable feature is that it allows us to compare the billing between the clouds."
"Currently, users can only attach a new ISO to their VMs for a partial reinstall, but a full reinstall feature is unfortunately unavailable."
"There is room for improvement in making the solution easier still. If you don't know Calm, it's not so easy to use... It is a really good solution for doing simple tasks, but it's not a good solution for complex tasks."
"Nutanix Cloud Manager could partner with more partners to bring technologies that align with the area's policies and business needs."
"When we tried to migrate an application from the old cluster, we couldn't run it on Nutanix’s native hypervisor."
"The solution's virtualization could be even better."
"I'd like them to offer a more flexible licensing model."
"LCM could be our second favorite feature right up there with One-Click Upgrades if it worked as smoothly but We have had a few issues with LCM but those appear to have been related to OEM hardware vendor not in sync with Nutanix software, not sure how this could be improved in the future."
"In some ways, Nutanix Cloud Manager abstracts out certain items in a simplified manner, which makes it good for training. At other times, to get to the next technical level, we want to actually dive in, and Nutanix Cloud Manager sometimes restricts us from actually diving into the deeper technical pieces. There's no advance button that lets us do more advanced things without having to drop out to the CLI to do the command line piece."
"The solution's private cloud is much too expensive."
"There are some kinks to resolve with the Web GUI user interface, as it freezes at times."
"I would like to have an easy way of modifying the reference data that is used for the purposes of estimating the total billing."
"The product needs some investment in configuration. I would like to see better and more optimized configuration in the tool's future releases."
"The knowledge base is not available for the engineers, which is something that needs to be improved."
"I would like it if they could provide their customers with more qualified support."
"Better integration with other VMware toolsets would be beneficial."
"If you haven't established a vSphere cluster and you only have a single server to integrate, you can't deploy any service."
