Find out what your peers are saying about NetApp, IBM, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and others in Modular SAN (Storage Area Network)."Service from EMC was extremely good. Whenever a disk had a problem, EMC was right on top of it. In some instances, they called me before I even knew what was going on."
"The speed of the operations and of creation of VM is fantastic."
"Hyper-convergence is the most valuable feature for me as it allows me to scale the hardware according to project requirements."
"One-Click Upgrade and Foundation is the most valuable feature. One-Click Upgrade makes upgrades and LCM a breeze. Prior to Nutanix One-Click Upgrade, upgrades and LCM were overly cumbersome and time-consuming. Foundation provides an easy, yet very structured, approach to cluster modification (adding or removing nodes)."
"One of the most valuable features is that it can be applied at any scale."
"The administration console, automation, and the first cluster are all valuable features."
"One of the most valuable features is the One-Click Upgrade. When I need to update the system, I do it with one click. This product is amazing because everything is easy to manage, from network management to snapshots."
"One of the main features of the solution is that it works on many hypervisors. It is a big advantage. Additionally, the solution is compatible with VMware and Hyper-V, and the management interface, which is called Prism, is very intuitive and user-friendly."
"We have had good feedback from our customers about this solution."
"It needs better deduplication. Deduplication was costing too many resources, hence we never used it."
"The product needs improvement in the areas of SAN attachment for high capacity and high I/O profile workloads."
"There is room to enhance the micro-segmentation."
"I would like better integration of XenServer into the AOS and Prism Central."
"The only problem is that not many operating systems are supported on the AOS hypervisor. They need to probably increase the support on multiple operating systems. As of now, a very limited number of operating systems and patch levels are supported on AOS."
"We'd like to have more resource management."
"Make it easier to manage."
"The compatibility and integration of Nutanix Acropolis AOS could be improved. For example, we have a WAF application firewall and it does not work on this solution. Not all the OS's run on AOS. You need to have a newer version of an operating system if you want Nutanix to perfectly run all the different options."
"I would like to see official compatibility with Red Hat in the future."
