We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Nutanix Prism is popular in the Indian market, particularly in enterprises where they need a DR type of environment, and where they look for less than finite RPO and RTO. If you have this environment on-premises, and if you can just rent out some portion to any of the service providers, then you can easily set up a DR environment to give you a finite list versus RPO and RTO.""The GUI and the dashboard are impressive. I like that you can modify the GUI and the dashboard as per your requirements.""There are so many valuable features but Nutanix Flow for microsegmentation of the network, and the Life Cycle Manager for dating hardware and software are among the most important for us.""Prism's best features include the single point of failure (SPOF) and ease of implementation.""Its scalability is valuable. It's scalable and fast.""The ability to do snapshots is fantastic. It does a great job. Not only do snapshots work great, but you can take a snapshot on the fly. The snapshot takes a second to complete. You can then make a change and test it out to see if it works. If you have any problem, just roll it right back.""Nutanix Prism is very fast compared to VMware and whatever you need to do, you can do it quickly.""The features that I have found most valuable are its storage flexibility, linear scalability, and perhaps ease of use and powerful support."

"One particularly useful feature of Splunk ITSI is the ability to create custom services.""The root cause analysis is very helpful for us.""The flexibility to develop and consolidate many solutions into one platform is great.""The modeling required to setup ITSI has been very helpful in providing us a better understanding and a logical view of our services. The modeling is flexible and can be as granular or high level as our needs dictate.""One of the excellent features is the service analyzer, which is truly impressive.""The observability is great and valuable.""The solution is easy to scale.""The feature that stood out to me most from Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI) was automated dashboarding or reporting. The solution lists the severity level of issues, and the response times."

Cons
"The interface is good, but it needs improvements. There are a lot of functions that are only available in the CLI. In addition, some of the hardware components could be improved. We already had some trouble with disks.""No integration of commands to manage AHV.""Although this solution has very good analytics capabilities, it can be even more granular.""The automation needs to be improved, as there are several challenges.""There are some things that you can only do via the command line. Over the years that I've been using Nutanix, they've slowly integrated those into Prism, but they're still trying to catch up with a solution that has been around longer, like VMware.""Sometimes the life cycle management function of Nutanix can't find the latest version of the firmware. The lifecycle management product could be more up-to-date.""The life cycle management or LCM feature is the most complicated. It takes really long and is unpredictable for our use cases. They should provide more detailed information about the kind of LCM to go for, various errors, and different kinds of tasks. For analytics for certain configurations, we require more details with the report. Sometimes, not all elements are present for support, management, and configuration. For troubleshooting, it would be very easy and useful if we can analyze log files directly from Prism, that is, not from the command line but directly from Prism.""The solution could be a bit more user-friendly. The dashboard and configuration should be much easier to use."

More Nutanix Prism Cons →

"We'd like them to show more inputs on the dashboard.""Some of our customers occasionally require the development of the connectors when there are no native connectors so that we can develop in Python or for customer slash comments as well. If they could adjust that, it would be ideal.""Splunk ITSI generates numerous false positives and has the potential for enhancement.""It was an intimidating tool for us to jump into at the beginning.""We're using predictive analytics, and there are three or four algorithms. It would be helpful if this process were more standardized and scalable.""The solution should integrate more features in NEAP.""The problem becomes the price, as Splunk is an expensive product.""The end-to-end visibility in Splunk ITSI is limited and has room for improvement."
