Find out in this report how the two Cloud Cost Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product provides visibility into what we are consuming."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the fact that it's extremely customizable. It makes it very flexible in terms of usage."
"The interface is good, and it's easy to manage."
"Microsoft Azure Cloud Cost Management is easy to use and we have a lot of insights about all of our goals."
"We find the analytics available via this solution to be very useful, as it allows us to easily see detailed cost information for each of our various subscription elements."
"The most valuable feature is that it helps us to better forecast and reduce costs."
"The tool helps with budgeting and reporting. It notifies us whenever we cross the threshold."
"The solution helps us diagnose and understand why some resources cost more so that we can fine-tune and reduce the cost."
"utanix Prism Pro provides robust upgrading Nutanix clusters mechanism that has long been a delightful experience delivered via one-click upgrades. The one-click process hides a lot of complexity by using advanced automation and consumer-grade design experience."
"Nutanix Cloud Manager's runway features are a big help in predicting strategy for optimization."
"It's easy to transfer data and synch up the change and manage/monitor from a single point. Backup is much easier too."
"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."
"I also like the fact that the solution manages itself. It has one interface where you can basically see all your servers. So, you can manage your servers and see whether you are falling short on space or disc usage. Also, in case your RAM is only using four Gigabytes of memory instead of eight, you can extend out the over-provisioned mail and save your cluster for four Giga of RAM."
"The solution’s ease of use is mind-blowing."
"One of the great advantages is that it offers an extremely intuitive interface, but at the same time it manages to offer a level of control over all the underlying infrastructure that no other product provides. Options like One-CLick Update make the tool worthwhile on its own, as well as detailed performance metrics for each component in real time."
"The Nutanix technical support is very, very good."
"Cost Management could always provide more details. The more information, the better. They just need to build on what they have now."
"I haven't detected anything that needs improvement, but any solution could be improved."
"The solution needs an automated dashboard and better reporting."
"Azure Cost Management needs to improve scalability."
"If it worked better with other cloud providers it would be better."
"Optimization and scalability could be increased."
"It would be nice if they could introduce connections to other clouds. It would be good to connect to AWS and Oracle cloud."
"It would be beneficial if Azure Cost Management could automatically generate budget rules using AI insights, eliminating the need for manual configuration."
"In the next release, I would like to see more cloud providers like Micro BH or local providers."
"I think one of the points to improve is having the platform with multiple languages, for example Spanish, seriously, one point to consider is a valid point for me, my native language is Spanish, being in Venezuela."
"We have a lot of projects so we cannot always dive deep into the material that Nutanix offers. We would like to but we have other priorities. It was a busy year. We have an external company that does things for us so we can make the process go faster. We know what we need and what we would like to achieve. I'm still on the learning curve."
"I think NCM's guest tools have some room for improvement. It's a minor pain point getting those installed and getting the virtual machines to recognize them. I know there are changes coming in the near future, but as it stands today, they could be improved."
"It could maybe have better documentation. Nutanix does have really good documentation, but it could have more details in the future."
"There are some load-balancing features that are currently missing in the flow network security and could potentially be added in the future."
"I think the Prism Center needs to include more functions. I know that they're including the Nutanix Era, which is the database management and disaster recovery tool. I think that Era should include everything on a single tool where you can manage everything you need inside your organization."
"I cannot say Calm is providing centralized control of all our applications because we have some legacy systems. We have IBM iSeries, which is another technology. But with Calm we can centralize all our x86 machines."
