Find out what your peers are saying about StarWind, Nutanix, Red Hat and others in Software Defined Storage (SDS)."The ease of use is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's very user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the robustness, which is typical of IBM because their software generally just works."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS makes it easy to use and manage projects and it has a good reputation."
"It has solid performance and provides data locality."
"SRM capabilities for replication have been proven reliable and very useful for our organization."
"The flexibility of this system is very good. It's also faster than others, and has skilled technical support who showed more initiative than a competitor, e.g. VMware."
"We are suggesting Nutanix to the management because of scalability and time efficiency."
"Hyper-convergence is the most valuable feature for me as it allows me to scale the hardware according to project requirements."
"The pricing is pretty good."
"Ability to create multiple VMs."
"The reporting mechanisms need improvement."
"he interface is not user-friendly so the ease of use could be improved."
"While their overall Nutanix Bible is good, they are lacking good descriptions for particular scenarios that might be helpful to many users."
"Make it easier to manage."
"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."
"The licensing cost could be lower."
"The product needs improvement in the areas of SAN attachment for high capacity and high I/O profile workloads."
"In terms of what I would like to see improved, I would say the life cycle management. I don't know if it is because they changed to an LCM from the previous way of upgrading the hardware or software but sometimes it feels that it needs a wizard that says, "Check this, check this," telling you your options. The only thing that's a bit frustrating for me is the life cycle management interface. That's the only thing on the entire system that frustrates me."
"In terms of automation, I know there are ways to do it, but it's not very user-friendly. I've been working for the last three years with Nutanix and I've managed to automate certain things, but it's a somewhat more complex job than it should be. I would like to see more documentation or knowledge base articles."
"In the next release of this solution, they could improve by being more competitive with VMware. I would like all third-party solutions to work well with Nutanix Acropolis AOS."
