Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Overall, the solution is very good. It's easy to use and simple to handle many actions, such as VM cloning, testing, and prediction.""This is a very useful solution for database management.""We use the solution to save costs and simplify operations.""We have an enterprise-level backup product that we're required to use, so we don't rely on Era's version. [But] it could be an awesome first-line backup. It's very elegant the way they designed it. It's quick and it doesn't take up nearly as much storage space as traditional backups. It would definitely help to save on tier-one storage.""There are a lot of options for working with the database.""It saves operation time and day-to-day tasks.""The patching is the most valuable feature. We spent a lot of time and effort on the patching of our SQL instances after hours. With Nutanix Era, you can schedule and automate them during your normal operational hours (during the day). You schedule all the patching, then everything happens automatically with minor tickets from the engineer. So, our patching, which took four hours, went down to an hour for the engineer. This is much better for us from a return on investment perspective.""What I like about this solution is that it's more reliable compared to other solutions."

"It can be configured to be a very fast message broker. I like the stability, the built-in admin tools and plugin architecture.""We have been able to set up a messaging system that facilitates data integration between the software modules that we sell.""The loading speed is very good.""The most valuable feature is asynchronous calls, which are easy to configure.""RabbitMQ provides access to SDKs for development and the ability to raise and log tickets if we encounter issues. We can integrate RabbitMQ using various languages like Java or Python using the provided SDKs.""Tanzu Greenplum's most valuable features include the integration of modern data science approaches across an MPP platform.""The most valuable feature for us is horizontal scaling.""The solution's best feature is its exceptional speed, delivering efficient utilization of resources."

Cons
"The initial setup was a little tedious and complex. If they could make the setup slightly more user-friendly, then that would definitely be beneficial. If they could give a clear indication of what ports are required across the business and multiple VLANs, then your prep work can be done beforehand and before you do the actual installation. Because the documentation that was provided was not 100 percent accurate, so we had to do a lot of custom firewall rules after we deployed Nutanix Era.""This solution could be improved by integrating with more database providers.""The downside of this solution is that it's more expensive than its competitors.""Patch management is an issue as it regularly causes stability problems.""Their support is helpful, but maybe they need more technical staff. Their response was slow once, but that was the only time it happened, so I'm not sure.""There is room for improvement in the pricing structure.""The graphical user interfaces could be much more user-friendly. They are already user-friendly, but they could be simpler so that we do not need L3 staff to handle them. If they were simpler, we could also have some command center or L1/L1.5 associates do some housekeeping activities on it.""I would like to see the SQL compatibility enhanced."

More Nutanix Database Service Cons →

"I would like to see the performance of the administration portal improved and additional messaging protocols.""This solution struggled with multi-regional synchronization.""I was struggling with installing a few things. It would be good if was somewhat similar to RedHat. There should be more documentation regarding installation troubleshooting.""The product needs to focus on offering more use case documentation because browsing the internet to find it can be a process filled with struggles.""The user interface could be improved.""The support feature could benefit from some improvement in terms of accessibility and responsiveness.""VMware RabbitMQ's configuration process could be easier to understand.""The product has to improve the crisis management, especially in memory issues."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The licensed-based pricing is confusing and too high."
  • "Era is quite expensive. The thing that will be a showstopper for them in the long run is if you look at it from a technical perspective on what it provides and weigh it up against consolidation of multiple other software suites."
  • "Licensing costs will be the main scalability problem."
  • "It's priced fairly... It's a good value. When you go looking for something from Oracle that automates things and makes your life easier, it's always going to be a minimum of $500,000. Era's nothing like that."
  • "There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
  • "This solution is reasonably priced."
  • "Not everyone can afford it. It's a bit expensive, so the price has to be improved."
  • "The pricing is competitive."

  • "The pricing is okay."
  • "It is the best product with best fit for price/performance customer objectives."
  • "Pricing is good compared to other products. It's fine."
  • "This is an open source solution."
  • "We are using the open-source version of this solution."
  • "are using the open-source version, which can be used free of cost."
  • "The pricing for RabbitMQ is reasonable. It is worth the cost."
  • "On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."
