Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Quest Software, SolarWinds and others in Database Development and Management."This product allows for much easier cross server monitoring and administration."
"SQL Server Configuration: This allows admins to compare and edit server configurations for one or more SQL servers saving a lot of time when managing large numbers of instances."
"One feature that is very good is the backup and validation process that's built into Era."
"The most valuable feature is its robust infrastructure management tools."
"It is also a single platform, all in one place, and that is a reason we went for this solution. Earlier, we had multiple platforms, the database and the OS, but this is a single platform that helps us with what we are doing."
"It has wizards that are very helpful in the installation, and it handles automation as well as virtualization once deployed."
"It has some very good features. It really works with multiple silos in terms of infrastructure, database updates, and migration. So many things are easy with Era."
"We have an enterprise-level backup product that we're required to use, so we don't rely on Era's version. [But] it could be an awesome first-line backup. It's very elegant the way they designed it. It's quick and it doesn't take up nearly as much storage space as traditional backups. It would definitely help to save on tier-one storage."
"The patching is the most valuable feature. We spent a lot of time and effort on the patching of our SQL instances after hours. With Nutanix Era, you can schedule and automate them during your normal operational hours (during the day). You schedule all the patching, then everything happens automatically with minor tickets from the engineer. So, our patching, which took four hours, went down to an hour for the engineer. This is much better for us from a return on investment perspective."
"What I like about this solution is that it's more reliable compared to other solutions."
"A set of T-SQL admin snippets might be useful, e.g., code to create users, databases, indexes, etc. It would definitely be welcomed in the bundle."
"Patch management is an issue as it regularly causes stability problems."
"The downside of this solution is that it's more expensive than its competitors."
"This solution could be improved by integrating with more database providers."
"The solution needs to improve compatibility with other back-ups and products."
"The updating of the database engine is something that can be improved. For example, assume that we are using PostgreSQL out of the box, and it is version 10. If we want to migrate to version 11, 12, or 13, then it is not very easy to do that using Nutanix Era."
"The initial setup was a little tedious and complex. If they could make the setup slightly more user-friendly, then that would definitely be beneficial. If they could give a clear indication of what ports are required across the business and multiple VLANs, then your prep work can be done beforehand and before you do the actual installation. Because the documentation that was provided was not 100 percent accurate, so we had to do a lot of custom firewall rules after we deployed Nutanix Era."
"It would be helpful if we could patch Windows operating systems with the solution."
"It should be able to be consumed by other customers because only the enterprise cloud customers are able to buy this software."
