"Nutanix has excellent product documentation available on their portals, written in simple, easy-to-understand language.""Nutanix Unified Storage is easy to use. New employees are able to come up to speed fairly quickly with regard to the day-to-day administration processes.""The real-time alerts generated by this system enable us to swiftly address and mitigate such threats.""Nutanix's analytics provide better insights into all of our files.""The most valuable feature is the easy interface.""The integration with Prism Central makes it a lot easier to manage, so we just have a single pane of glass location that we can go to. We do not have a separate admin console or anything that we have to use.""What I like most about Nutanix Files Storage is the way it makes copies of the data. The solution also has high availability, which is excellent. Another valuable feature of Nutanix Files Storage is self-service, so users won't have to depend on the IT team much.""The Nutanix block files are the most valuable feature."

Cons
"The product needs improvement in terms of affordability.""I hope for improvements in the product's processing ability and performance.""The initial setup and installation is not that straightforward.

More Huawei FusionStorage Cons →

"Customer service is more difficult to call and they do not responding as much as, for example, DataCore. It's not the same level of satisfaction compared to DataCore. Responses could be faster.""The solution should increase its storage capabilities.""Another aspect that needs improvement is continuous protection against security threats such as ransomware and potential data leakage.""Improving quota policies would be advantageous, particularly by offering the option to implement blocking instead of just issuing warnings.""The interface could be improved.""We have some problems with Nutanix Unified Storage's support because they asked us to change our hardware.""Lowering the price would improve this product.""We have had to deal with some infrastructure and general cluster issues but these issues don't impact storage."

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."
