We performed a comparison between Kaminario K2 [EOL] and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."The most valuable feature is how it simplifies the management of the SAN."
"Most of the problems that we had in the past with the performance in IOPS have disappeared. It has been a great improvement for our customers' services."
"It helps to simplify storage because it has an easy front-end to access everything."
"The most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray is the all-flash storage performance, low latency, and efficiency of their de-duplication technology. Additionally, the ease of use is good compared to other storage systems. The features in data protection, snapshotting, and replication between data centers and sites are superior to other solutions."
"The most valuable features are the replication of data and the continuous snapshot that we can take from the disc."
"It's reduced our overhead management time on storage, since it is so simple to get in and just provision a volume, present it to the host, and then you are done."
"The most valuable feature is replication."
"Pure is simple to set up and manage on a day-to-day basis."
"Inline compression"
"Scale out is a differentiator for them, especially in the enterprise market. It's key for a lot of customers."
"Implementation of the solution is very simple."
"Built-in snapshot support gives us SAN-side functionality most other platforms would have had us license separately."
"The ratio between the physical storage and the storage we use is very high."
"Latency is definitely the big key for us."
"It provides a full feature set without separate licensing (deduplication, compression, snapshot, asynchronous replication, stable performance, etc.)."
"The most valuable feature is definitely the always-on data deduplication."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the integration of all parts in Prism Element, the browser-based management tool."
"The features that I have found most valuable include its HA facility, viability, robustness, flexibility, it's time to go live is very short, and it has a friendly user interface."
"It's quite easy to scale, and you have the option to have distributed nodes everywhere around the world that work as one. You can also have a solution for small branch offices with only two nodes for redundancy, and that's good enough to start."
"It is 100% stable. It's the most stable infrastructure that we have."
"Technical support is okay."
"They have one of the best technical supports in my experience."
"The solution offers impressive performance."
"There are scenarios with very specific functionality around VMware integration particularly to do with the way we'd like to manage LUNs in VMware. The tools are pretty good but there's room for improvement there."
"I recognize it's a difficult challenge, but I would like to see them make the pricing more reasonable."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve by being more secure."
"It took us a year to get it to stabilize and to get the best out of Pure."
"It is not possible to create a cluster on top of multiple arrays."
"It would be nice if Pure had something in its portfolio that provided higher deduplication and compression for backups."
"If we suddenly dump large amounts of data onto the storage system, it takes a while to process it."
"There's always an opportunity for new feature functionality."
"I would like them to improve the look of the product’s external casing and shelves."
"I think it should have better performance with small files. With big data, its performance is top notch, but it is difficult to load small files."
"Access to technical support should be improved for our region. Technical support is good, but they're very hard to access."
"Some of the nice to haves for us, in terms of today, would be VVols but again, it’s not a critical feature."
"I would love to see capacity on its DRAM. I know it's not cost effective for them to do it, but I think that it could be a big differentiator and was a big differentiator from the beginning."
"I would like to see them work with Cisco, so it comes off the FIs, instead of having to go through my 10-gig network."
"Improved scale and budget planning with flexibility of the solution for budget needs and efficiency for growth with the great optimization ratio due to the nature of our use."
"The front panel of the drive shelf doesn't always seat firmly."
"They need to improve the look and feel of the interface. The functionality is fine, but the appearance could be better."
"The GUI of Nutanix Acropolis AOS could be improved that can be done from the OEM side. It's a very basic stable web browser that they're using. It is not very inclusive."
"The licenses for Nutanix are very complicated."
"Nutanix can be a bit complex to understand."
"In the future, I would like Acropolis to add support for publishing external storage."
"They have offered some new features that I have not deployed so I assume that these issues might have been addressed already, but, at my time there was a networking problem."
"I would like better integration of XenServer into the AOS and Prism Central."
"The new features are not free. You need to pay for each feature."
