We performed a comparison between HPE ConvergedSystem and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and others in Converged Infrastructure."This is a scalable solution. Our customers begin with an initial configuration and later add more servers, memory and other options to meet the demands of increased processing."
"Most of the HP products I come across are they are easy to install. That's not very complex."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the flexibility and the availability of the machines."
"The flexibility is the most advantageous aspect of the solution. Our system has a very big environment. Due to this, the replication and backup operation is not an easy task. We prefer HPE SimpliVity modules in our environment, even when we have some different cases in operations."
"The solution's technical support was good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The tool's most valuable features are stability and scalability."
"The storage, BladeSystems, Virtual Connect, and simplicity with hyper-converged solutions are the most valuable features of this solution."
"We use the solution for DDI."
"The management interface of this solution is great."
"The solution remains stable across versions."
"Prism Central allows managing the cluster from a single pane of glass, and it allows a deeper dive into the solution."
"The hyperconvergence service, as well as the DR solution, are game-changers for Nutanix."
"The scalability, performance, and licensing model are the most valuable features."
"In addition to the hyper-converged infrastructure, most of our clients are pleased with Acropolis' built-in replication in terms of the DR setup. Our clients also like Prism Central's advanced management and analytics, and many find Nutanix Flow and playbooks incredibly useful."
"I definitely find the reduced power consumption very valuable. Another aspect I really like, when one compares Citrix to VMware, is the interface where you talk directly to your VM from the present software."
"Nutanix does a superb job with technical support."
"I would like to see monitoring solutions included, as well as brand support."
"There is some scope for improvement in support. The response time could be better."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The interface is not fully integrated with the ESXi, which is something that could be improved."
"Pricing is an area of concern in the solution where improvements are required."
"The solution has a complicated front-end."
"I would like to see better manageability and integration with third-party tools."
"HPE ConvergedSystem needs to improve its price."
"There are other services that Nutanix has that could be improved, but I'm not very familiar with the other services of Nutanix, such as Era and Flow. However, they seem a bit hard for us to implement and integrate with the Nutanix Acropolis AOS and other Nutanix tools. We would not dare to implement those other Nutanix solutions into Nutanix Acropolis AOS right now. The implementation of that tool could be the problem, I am a bit hesitant to implement the other tools into Nutanix Acropolis AOS."
"In a hybrid cloud setup, we should be able to port our floors from on-premises to the public cloud and from the public cloud to on-premises."
"Nutanix should improve AHV to support migration VMs between clusters and storage containers. Migration between containers is possible, but it requires shutting down the VM. The procedure is long and there is no migration between clusters at all."
"One thing I've noticed is that, when you do a shift from VMware to Nutanix, it opens the setup of the VM that's currently running. If people from another site double click on it, it opens the VM instead of the setup of the unit. So I would suggest that this could perhaps be switched. That is so far the only change I would like. I would like it if they could fix the instance where you double click on a VM and it opens the VM instead of the setup. That's the only thing that's a major bother to me."
"Nutanix could streamline Acropolis' advanced management to keep pace with its competitors. For example, in VMware vSphere ESXi Hypervisor, you can directly put a host into maintenance mode via the GUI. However, it takes several steps to do this with Nutanix Acropolis, and you need to use the command-line interface for most of the steps."
"We could always use a performance upgrade, or simplified management."
"We have a team that does the implementation of the solution for our customers, it is better to have professionals handle the process."
"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."
