Cons
"The product needs improvement in terms of affordability.""Their cloud services could be improved.""The initial setup and installation is not that straightforward. It should be made easier and the time to install should be reduced.""I hope for improvements in the product's processing ability and performance."

More Huawei FusionStorage Cons →

"What's missing in Nutanix Files Storage is the support for multiple intranets or VLANs on the same file from different networks and network devices.""We have issues with software updates occasionally.""Security is an area for improvement. When there are vulnerabilities, there needs to be a faster approval process. The solution needs to automatically target the vulnerabilities and not waste too much time.""From a management side, the one thing I would prefer is if it were a bit less expensive for smaller enterprises. It's a bit costly. If they provided flexible modules where you could pick and choose features, and only pay for what you use, that would be an improvement.""The escalation process with technical support could do with some improvement.""Lowering the price would improve this product.""Allowing the use of the Gflag compromises the integrity of the Nutanix system and its established standards.""The solution should increase its storage capabilities."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is expensive but might be optimal based on the partnership."
  • More Huawei FusionStorage Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The price of the license is expensive when comparing it to traditional storage."
  • "I find Nutanix Files Storage competitively priced, even its feature set. Its price is seven out of ten."
  • "If we compare the cost of Nutanix Objects Storage to other solutions such as VMware licenses, our current choice is Nutanix Objects Storage. This solution is more cost-effective. However, adding VMware to Nutanix would not be a cost-efficient decision, which is why we do not use it anymore."
  • "It is quite expensive otherwise as it comes with three-tier peer underlying hardware."
  • "For clients running Nutanix, the licensing cost for Files is a small add-on cost."
  • "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. We're not a Fortune 500 company, but we deal with Fortune 500 drug and energy companies. We have to play in that enterprise space if we're going to have enterprise customers. I'm very price-conscious, but I understand that if I want the best, I've got to pay the price."
  • "It's not the cheapest solution. It's in line with other solutions, but it offers features that the competitors don't have at any price point, especially with regard to analytics and ransomware prevention. No one else has any sort of object-based storage available. Nutanix Unified Storage is a lot more feature-rich. This is a situation where you get what you pay for."
  • "The product is pricey."
