"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Azure Cost Management is user-friendly compared to other competitors."
"It is a fully scalable product with the potential to enhance our application and increase our servers. All cloud-based solutions are fully scalable."
"It is interesting to me how Nutanix manages hyperconvergence, the possible failures that can occur in the platform migrating machine machines to nodes without problems while solving the failed node, but without a doubt prism is the feature that I value the most since I can manage and monitor everything in a single tool, giving me simplicity, statistics, states of equipment resources, alerts, updates in a single click, migrate equipment nodes manually or automatically."
"Nutanix Cloud Manager has increased our productivity higher than what it used to be. We used to spend four hours on server checking. Nutanix gave us three and a half hours back from those four hours to do normal work."
"The design is very intuitive; it's easy to find information in the different menus and things like that. The user experience is much better compared to other products."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The way it aggregates all the accounts and lets me do math across all the accounts, even across multiple vendors or multiple cloud providers, is valuable. The other part is Chargeback. We use that to validate our bills."
"It offers high availability and consistency."
"The most valuable feature is less or no implementation time. It should be up and running at any point in time so I don't spend time in transformation."
"It made it a lot easier to spin up these tenant environments with little to no administrative overhead."
"What would make Azure Cost Management better is a more flexible GUI that would allow users to provide more input. Another area for improvement in the solution is its reporting. The report it provides should be easy to understand."
"The dashboard could be improved."
"It would be nice if they could introduce connections to other clouds. It would be good to connect to AWS and Oracle cloud."
"The solution could improve its APIs to access the customer application."
"The solution could use automatic emailing. That would help improve the product a lot, at least for our purposes."
"The UI is complex, and it should be less so."
"Optimization and scalability could be increased."
"The tool's pricing should be made cheaper."
"NCM's pricing structure is confusing and difficult to understand."
"In Brazil, Nutanix Cloud Manager is not cheap."
"They should include more use cases for automation in administering the environment."
"Nutanix has room for improvement around the partner tools and making them approachable and easier to learn."
"The list of blueprints and applications could be more configurable so you see all the fields you need and not just some predefined fields which are not customizable now."
"We have faced some issues during operations, but when we log a case with Nutanix support, they help us to resolve them."
"One suggestion is for the Nutanix Cloud Manager (NCM) Prism Pro element to have a built-in support feature that allows you to simply click a button to get support from Nutanix whenever a new alert comes in, rather than needing to call support to ask about the new alert you received."
"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."
