"The most valuable features are Prism Central and the Disaster Recovery."

"Before implementing Prism, we had an issue with too many alerts for similar issues, so it was difficult to maintain them. The alerts kept coming, and we had a hard time keeping track of everything. We had multiple alerts about CPU, RAM, and storage. Prism helps us identify and eliminate false alerts because most of them were redundant."
"We were impressed with Nutanix, overall. Some of the other main drivers for our switch to it were the simplicity of setting up our Nutanix clusters, ease of management, and that their support is very respected. There is an overall ease of use, compared to VMware. I'm sold on their product."
"Prism Central is a single point to manage every cluster. Everything can be managed in one panel. Everything is there on the main page of the dashboard."
"The biggest thing for me is that it provided enough information for me to monitor. It alerts and provides you with the information you need."
"I like SolarWinds support because it's 24/7. You describe your issues, your situation and maybe two or three hours later you can discuss a solution with a technical engineer."
"The SolarWinds NPM framework, upon which most of their flagship products are built, empowers a wide variety of admins and users to quickly find value in their installed products."
"The ability to customize the views and dashboards is nice. SolarWinds also allows us to access the data via the API. That's probably the feature I liked the most."
"SolarWinds NPM has a colorful UI and many easy-to-use features. It does not need to be configured as much and is also easy to install."
"I can do everything remotely, including running PowerShell scripts or performing standard updates."
"I found a lot of valuable features in SolarWinds NPM, such as the customized application monitoring that allows you to customize any monitoring and script customization, and you also have the option to deploy and upgrade SolarWinds NPM online, which is very useful for my organization."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the monitoring capabilities."
"The process of converting and importing virtual machines to the Nutanix environment is quite complicated."
"Performance metrics and analytics could be improved."
"No integration of commands to manage AHV."
"Perhaps the interface can be more intuitive."
"The stability has room for improvement."
"There are no firewall policies."
"The replication we have does not have any backup systems built-in. We have to separate license records for backup, like onboard. We would like to have this in a future release."

"A feature I would ask for is for them to have this solution available for Linux systems instead of Windows."
"If they could combine everything into one product, that would be very helpful."
"The solution's customer service is not very good because the support takes too long."
"They have had a rather large security breach in the past. It's cost some companies customers."
"The root cause analysis and installation faults are not clear."
"The price of the solution can be improved."
"One of the challenges with SolarWinds is that in order to pull the data, we have to have a lot of false positives."
