Find out in this report how the two Cloud Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The durability and snapshot capabilities are good."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) is its scalability."
"The solution provides big space that is reasonably priced."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy to manage."
"When it comes to valuable features, ease of use would be number one."
"The tool has different types of volumes, like SSD and HDD."
"The most valuable feature is its scalability. I can easily scale the block from terabytes to gigabytes."
"Amazon EBS is a storage system, and the storage is attached to the servers."
"The solution is very easy to manage."
"We can utilize mixed storage block-sized objects and combine various databases within a unified interface."
"What I found most valuable in Nutanix Files Storage is its high availability and ability to scale out with many VMs."
"The solution is stable and extremely easy to calibrate."
"The most valuable features of Nutanix Unified Storage are the unified dashboard and the ease of administration."
"The most valuable feature is that it is highly available, solving the pain-point of delaying updates to Windows-based file servers during production hours. And then the second one would be ransomware protection and analytics. It gives you great visibility and protection on your file shares that are otherwise the most common sources of vulnerabilities."
"Currently, the most valuable aspect of our Nutanix implementation is its file storage functionality."
"Nutanix Unified Storage is easy to use. New employees are able to come up to speed fairly quickly with regard to the day-to-day administration processes."
"The features could be improved."
"Amazon EBS performs well but it could improve."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"The product data encryption feature needs improvement."
"It would be better to analyze and find a way to merge both the file systems of Linux and Windows."
"In Amazon EBS, it is difficult to reduce the space chosen by the customer. The cost increases the moment the size of the storage increases, and I will have to pay for two TB of the tool instead of one TB."
"There is room for improvement in terms of file storage. Recently, we had a scenario in which, in a file share, we had increased the IOPS capacity; this was for the production environment."
"I feel that there are some concerns when it comes to the accessibility area of the product where improvements are required."
"Nutanix should improve the one-click upgrade. There are a lot of dependencies on third-party licenses and HP hardware we use internally. The one-click upgrade fails sometimes."
"If they can add an integrated DLP feature, it would be great."
"The GUI is not user-friendly for new users and has room for improvement."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The GUI is easy to use, but it's complex to do tasks from the command line. That is one way they could simplify things for the engineers. People tend to use a graphical interface more than the command line interface. If anything goes wrong, we need to do troubleshooting from the CLI. It would be nice if there were more ways to fix issues within the GUI."
"The solution should increase its storage capabilities."
"From a management side, the one thing I would prefer is if it were a bit less expensive for smaller enterprises. It's a bit costly. If they provided flexible modules where you could pick and choose features, and only pay for what you use, that would be an improvement."
"The solution should keep adding new features to be competitive in the market."
