"The budgeting tool of AWS Cost Management is the most valuable feature."
"The initial setup wasn't complex at all."
"The ease of use is a valuable feature. For us, it's a consistent interface. It's very easy to train our employees on it, and it's a newer generation interface. It's homogeneous, and every product and subset tie together, giving a very similar look to everything."
"The most valuable features of this solution are visibility, the single console, capacity planning, the VM efficiencies. We have a recovery plan, security, policies policy security. That's why we implement it with your customers."
"Nutanix Cloud Manager's runway features are a big help in predicting strategy for optimization."
"The file server feature in Nutanix is very good, offering a solution-worthy feature that can host files, blocks, and object storage in the same cluster."
"The solution has automated reports and workflows. You can configure it to automatically send out reports to the business units responsible for managing cloud costs, so you don't need to log into the tool to get information. Cost Governance's user interface and dashboards are beautiful. The customers love it because it's easy to use. They can run it and get a report an hour later to immediately see the savings."
"Among the most valuable features are the one-click upgrade, that Nutanix is very easy to understand, and that it's very user-friendly."
"It has cut down our maintenance time significantly and simplified our processes for backups."
"Previous inquiries took us almost a full day to prepare the VM to the liking of our users. Now the deployment time is below 15 minutes and users can do it on their own! That leaves us to only update the blueprints if new requirements come in or new Windows Versions are published. As we have now predefined setups the testing team can rely on common ground for their product tests. Development teams can experiment with alpha versions in a secured environment (separate VLANs) without harming production machines."
"The solution needs to have its own dashboard for seeing details on it. It should be customizable as well so I have the ability to pull up the information I need to see and have it in one place for my reference. I should just be able to click and see everything I need in one step."
"AWS Cost Management has fewer features compared to Azure Cost Management."
"Data transfer between S3 buckets within AWS incurs costs, especially when moving data from one bucket to another or downloading data."
"AWS could improve the compatibility with other products."
"There could be an option to build custom dashboards for the platform."
"The solution needs to improve the communication mechanism available to the stakeholders."
"We need finer-grained control over the roles and policies for users, specifying their permissions as to what they can look at."
"I would like to see AWS Cost Management be more precise in their calculations."
"In this solution, it is difficult to organize the VM folders and subfolders."
"I would like to see it be able to apply a category to a project, and then have that category applied to all the VMs that are deployed within a project."
"Azure has a public cloud offering, and it also has a CSP model that allows Microsoft partners to provide Azure as a service to their customers. Cost Governance only works on the standard public cloud, not the CSP model. When I was at my previous company, we frequently got requests for Azure CSP support. We also got some requests for Alibaba Cloud and Oracle Cloud, but Azure CSP was the biggest one."
"NCM's analytics could be better because we're not getting an accurate analysis of our virtual machines, and we're over-provisioning some of them."
"We'd like the demos to be longer - maybe two to three months. Some clients need much more time for a POC."
"It could maybe have better documentation. Nutanix does have really good documentation, but it could have more details in the future."
"The solution should introduce more automation features."
"We have had our fair share of issues while upgrading early on, but the process now is working flawlessly."
