Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.

Pros
"It can be easily integrated with other systems and is powerful enough to collect data from a large number of devices.""What is most useful is visibility.""One of the most valuable features is the ease of use.""You can have thousands of devices inside and hundreds of thousands of interphases without a problem.""The out-of-the-box dashboards are valuable, in terms of being able to visualize performance data in ways that we haven't in the past.""​The ability to quickly do drag and drop customized reports for dashboards.​""Downloads and records are the most valuable features.""Since the implementation of the tool, it has cut down on probably 60% of our outages and letting us know what is going on."

"The solution is a high-performance platform that effectively handles three-layered issues like SA and network fiber cables.""Nutanix Prism is very fast compared to VMware and whatever you need to do, you can do it quickly.""Everything has been valuable, without a doubt the server is self-managed with Prism in an efficient way, it solves possible logical errors to maintain production without interruptions, it's great.""Nutanix Prism offers web scaling, which facilitates easy scaling.""Nutanix Prism's dashboard is very simple, and you don't need much knowledge to use it.""Has a user-friendly UI with a centralized console.""It can combine computing, storage and networks in a single location.""Simplicity of use."

Cons
"It could be a little easier to integrate new metrics.""CA PM can be complex to build and configure. Creating the folders / groups / sites required establishing many rule sets.""We experience disconnections between the solutions own components.""There are some areas in the technology right now, like with VMs, where we are lacking with our abilities to get inside the VM to monitor traffic within the machine.""This tool gathers so much data, which makes it hard to convert over. To upgrade it, you really need the solution backed up. That is the issue that we are facing right now.""This solution is not very scalable.""For CA PM, there should be a way of easily migrating the reports coming from eHealth going to CA Performance Center, since CA PC is replacing eHealth.""It seems like we escalate more than I would like to. If anything, they should look at how the tier support goes in place."

More DX Performance Management Cons →

"The licensing cost has room for improvement.""The process of converting and importing virtual machines to the Nutanix environment is quite complicated.""Perhaps the interface can be more intuitive.""I would like to have some cluster management tools included.""Prism is not very user-friendly, particularly in its upgrade process, compared to vSAN.""I wish the main landing page, the dashboard, could be organized in a way where, when there is an alert because something is wrong, I would not have to click three or four times to get to what actually happened. I wish it were quicker to get to the bottom of the problem.""The interface is good, but it needs improvements. There are a lot of functions that are only available in the CLI. In addition, some of the hardware components could be improved. We already had some trouble with disks.""The solution does not support creating hybrid disc clusters."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We were looking at other vendors in the marketplace for NetFlow, and CA just beat everybody else in price, cost, and the size to implement. ​"
  • "Do your homework and know how many devices you will be managing out of the gate. Be sure to project what your growth will be each year."
  • "They should provide more scalable licensing for the product."
  • "I like the licensing model because it's device-based."
  • "We purchase a license to use the solution every three years and we have multiple contracts. They have been increasing the price annually. We have a baseline for three years and then we need to pay the difference from the baseline, and we are in the process of negotiating a new price for all the licenses we need. The price overall is affordable."
  • "The tool's pricing is based on the number of network devices."

  • "A lot of my customers complain about the price of renewals, so I think that this can be improved."
  • "Compared to VMware, the price of this solution is great."
  • "Nutanix Prism is priced better than some of the competing solutions."
  • "This product is cheaper than using VMware."
  • "The license we bought for Nutanix Prism is perpetual, so once you have it, you can keep on using it. It's a three-year license that's paid one time. The license we have covers the three-node cluster."
  • "The license for Prism is costlier than other VMs."
  • "We have spent a lot of money on the Nutanix solution with Prism. Yet, for this amount of money we could be buying high-end storage with a lot of IOPS and bandwidth, even more than with Nutanix."
  • "Nutanix have bundles for pricing. On a single bundle, we get everything including vSAN or VMware and there are no additional costs. It is just a single license that is needed."
