We performed a comparison between Amazon S3 and Nutanix Unified Storage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Public Cloud Storage Services solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We have cold storage here, and I think that's useful. When it comes to commercialization, it's cheaper to put data that you won't be using into the data storage. You only use a little bit of the data needed each day for your transition, so you pay less."
"Set up a performance and stress-based test suite to measure the endurance of a web application on Amazon AWS cloud system using S3 as the back-end storage infrastructure."
"The most valuable features of the Amazon S3 are its ease of use and integration"
"Great for storing all types of data."
"The most valuable feature is the storage."
"The integration with Cloudfront helps in fetching the static phase and default phases in case our actual service is down."
"It's reliable and stable."
"It is easy to manage and easy to understand."
"They have well-documented best practices and the interface is good."
"Nutanix's analytics provide better insights into all of our files."
"The life cycle managers of the PCMs are very impressive, and I like them. They make our lives easy when managing patches and security updates when they come in. A life cycle manager helps to consolidate different vendors."
"We have been able to save local disk space by using Data Lens. We upload 18 GB to the cloud and are able to save 20% to 25%."
"What I found to be the most valuable features were better performance and uptime."
"The solution is very easy to manage."
"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 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."
"You need to fully understand the solution's best practices to get the most out of its security features."
"The stability of the solution has room for improvement."
"We need the mapping to Windows. That feature is needed in S3. That feature is in the Azure cloud where we can map it like a drive. We can map the cloud storage to the effort driving our Windows PC. But Amazon is not providing that feature for the S3 solution."
"In the next release, I think that it would be good to have wizards that would update into specific applications, for example, a one-touch configuration in Pagemaker."
"The pricing for Amazon S3 needs improvement. Another area for improvement is the file size change because it has some limitations that require more time for rendering, especially if you're not merely uploading a file, but reviewing that file, too."
"Amazon S3 could improve the limitation on how much data can be stored."
"It is difficult to retrieve files in an emergency because the public cloud has data limits for immediate downloads."
"The installation could be more straightforward for inexperienced users."
"The solution is very expensive."
"Allowing the use of the Gflag compromises the integrity of the Nutanix system and its established standards."
"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."
"We have some problems with Nutanix Unified Storage's support because they asked us to change our hardware."
"The implementation is a little bit complex and should be made easier."
"Security is an area for improvement. When there are vulnerabilities, there needs to be a faster approval process. The solution needs to automatically target the vulnerabilities and not waste too much time."
"The graphical user interfaces could benefit from more attention to detail."
"The GUI is not user-friendly for new users and has room for improvement."
