We performed a comparison between Dell XtremIO and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two All-Flash Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We consume less physical storage because of the solution’s deduplication and compression."
"The most valuable feature is its data reduction."
"The performance is very good."
"It reduces space and the polar consumption. It also accelerates the application."
"The amount of throughput that we're getting is really nice."
"The management is simple in Pure Storage FlashArray."
"Non-disruptive upgrades: You can upgrade at anytime without worry."
"We also like the compactness, the small footprint. It takes up very little space in a data center and uses little power."
"I like the deduplication and auto-tiering features."
"We mostly use it for backup, because we cannot measure anything, and we are afraid to use it for surveillance systems. We were planning to use it for mostly for surveillance systems."
"XtremIO’s capability to run any workload without much in the way of design considerations makes this very easy to use and size."
"Very good IOPS performance"
"Speed and reliability:"
"Performance and deduplication. This is a very robust block storage option that offers both performance and data optimization."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its high performance."
"We've seen great enhancements from the performance point of view. There's good availability, stability, and continuity, but the performance actually has increased by 60 or 70%."
"Being able to upgrade our entire cluster with the click of a button during business hours with zero downtime has made managing our infrastructure so easy."
"To receive a performance enhancement by merely clicking the one button upgrade is the true value of the platform and what I look forward to the most."
"The features that I have found most valuable include its HA facility, viability, robustness, flexibility, it's time to go live is very short, and it has a friendly user interface."
"Technical support is okay."
"There are a lot of things I really like. Perhaps the best part is taking a snapshot of a virtual machine. It's very quick. Another useful part is replication and creating a protection domain: using the protection feature to replicate a machine to a remote site for DR purposes."
"The most valuable feature is the solution's ease of upgrading."
"We really love the Lifecycle manager and one-click upgrades."
"The scalability is great."
"It needs to improve its price."
"If they could make it cheaper, that would be something."
"The technical support is okay, but could be improved."
"Some services could be inserted directly into the SAN, so Pure Storage could complete with the HyperFlex."
"Larger capacity and more storage ports would be the two things I'd like to see."
"As long as they always improve on IOPS speed, that's all we're really looking for. The faster the storage can be the more we can do speed of application and speed of use."
"Pure Storage will have issues with positioning in the near future since its a relatively new company. For now, customers need a PoC to trust using the solution, as it can't stand on its brand name alone. They need to improve Pure Storage's marketing."
"Automation could be simplified."
"I would like to see the ease of deployment and built-in Metro clustering."
"I would like to see more scalability."
"If you are looking at flash storage solutions, XtremIO doesn't offer any unique features. Most of my customers are migrating their workload from XtremIO to other formats because of this."
"The product could be improved by reducing the pricing and having better organization in their technical support team."
"The solution needs to be simplified. When you integrate your storage with other systems, could use a little bit of automation."
"The management should be improved and the GUI interface could be better and easier."
"The GUI could be modified more in terms of how the different components are linked to each other."
"Ease of use is key in the converged and hyper-converged world that requires administrators to have both hypervisor and storage skills."
"Reduce its power consumption."
"The product requires a lot of resources."
"The scalability of Nutanix Acropolis AOS needs improvement."
"This product would be improved if it included a hybrid cloud solution."
"I would like to see a fuller integration with the public cloud. It would help the user enter the hybrid cloud infrastructure."
"The patch updates of Nutanix Acropolis could be improved. I'm work on the corporate side, but I get feedback from our IT team that patch updates and other updates are taking a significantly longer time. This definitely needs to be resolved. We are in discussion with Nutanix regarding certain configuration issues we are having, so maybe something can be changed to ease these patch updates."
"I think some of the tasks that must be done using CLI could be added to the web interface."
"The GUI for this solution needs improvement."
