"The solution is stable and extremely easy to calibrate."
"Unified Storage's centralized management features enable us to accomplish whatever we want in terms of operations and migrations."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward. With a few clicks, you can stand up your storage. It reduces the overall life cycle of deployment within the ecosystem."
"My opinion is that this solution has very good stability."
"What I found most valuable in Nutanix Files Storage is its high availability and ability to scale out with many VMs."
"The most valuable feature is that it is highly available, solving the pain-point of delaying updates to Windows-based file servers during production hours. And then the second one would be ransomware protection and analytics. It gives you great visibility and protection on your file shares that are otherwise the most common sources of vulnerabilities."
"Nutanix Volumes is a perfectly stable product."
"Nutanix Objects is reliable."
"There is room for improvement in the DPI reports, as they could be made more user-friendly."
"Dell EMC ECS should support segregation of duty, particularly for role-based access controls. Having a single pane of glass for smarter observation and better control mechanism would also make this solution better."
"They could provide centralized reports."
"In Taiwan, they don't have professional technical support."
"You should be able to calculate so that when it's full it's 100% full, not just 90%."
"We have concerns about the write performance. We would also like it to be easier to scale out, to add more boxes to the system. And we want improved performance, to use a next-generation NFS service."
"It is a good solution, except for the cost."
"The major weakness in the solution is that there is no cloud version for Dell ECS."
"The interface could be improved."
"The implementation is a little bit complex and should be made easier."
"Managing other storage infrastructure on Nutanix Files Storage is an area for improvement. In particular, I want to add other forms of storage from different vendors not currently in Nutanix Files Storage, to the file server, for better management."
"If they can add an integrated DLP feature, it would be great."
"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."
"The solution should increase its storage capabilities."
"The solution should keep adding new features to be competitive in the market."
"With all of the Nutanix equipment, the licensing is expensive. We operate in the enterprise space, but we're a midsized company. At times, the price tag is a little bit shocking for a company with only 35 employees."
