"The solution provides big space that is reasonably priced."
"When it comes to valuable features, ease of use would be number one."
"Amazon EBS is a storage system, and the storage is attached to the servers."
"The tool has different types of volumes, like SSD and HDD."
"The most important feature is the volume types in those hundred EDS. For example, if you need a volume with high IOPS, you should choose an io2 or io2 Block Express volume type. The default volume type for EBS is GP3, which is a good balance of performance and price for most workloads."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy to manage."
"One of the most valuable was snapshots. There were scenarios in which the whole EC2 crashed, or we were unable to use it for some time, but the data on the mounted volumes were crucial to us. So, at that time, snapshots were very helpful."
"The inclusion of it in the Nutanix Objects Storage platform simplifies my process as I am no longer required to acquire a separate platform. Instead, I can simply purchase additional licenses as needed. All management can be performed from a single unified interface, making it a convenient and streamlined experience."
"Nutanix Volumes is a perfectly stable product."
"Nutanix Unified Storage is a simple, user-friendly, and stable solution."
"It is a highly scalable solution."

"The most valuable features are the interface and support."
"Currently, the most valuable aspect of our Nutanix implementation is its file storage functionality."
"The solution is very easy to manage."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"It would be good if the solution added a button to increase the size and make the EC2 machine recognize the increased capacity of the EBS."
"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."
"It would be better to analyze and find a way to merge both the file systems of Linux and Windows."
"Amazon EBS needs to improve its user interface for data transactions."
"Amazon EBS performs well but it could improve."
"The product data encryption feature needs improvement."
"I feel that there are some concerns when it comes to the accessibility area of the product where improvements are required."
"The interface could be improved."
"The graphical user interfaces could benefit from more attention to detail."
"Unified Storage failed to fulfill our object storage requirements."
"The documentation on the support site needs to be improved."
"Another aspect that needs improvement is continuous protection against security threats such as ransomware and potential data leakage."
"The solution should keep adding new features to be competitive in the market."
"It is challenging to configure access control settings."
"We have had to deal with some infrastructure and general cluster issues but these issues don't impact storage."
