We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure Object Storage and Nutanix Unified Storage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Public Cloud Storage Services solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The key feature for us is the possibility to have a copy of our data and machines outside of our premises just in case of a disaster."
"It's easy to use."
"Microsoft Azure Object Storage provides a platform for uploading or downloading big datasets."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Object Storage for us is its simplicity and reliability as a storage solution."
"With Microsoft Azure Object Storage, they are an open market."
"This product is very reliable and all of the security that our client requires is available."
"What I like most about Microsoft Azure Object Storage is that you have many ways to access it."
"The solution offers good documentation."
"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."
"Nutanix's analytics provide better insights into all of our files."
"My opinion is that this solution has very good stability."
"The most valuable features of Nutanix Unified Storage are the unified dashboard and the ease of administration."
"The management interface is great and you have handy access to several details about your file shares."
"It is a highly scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature is that it is highly available, solving the pain-point of delaying updates to Windows-based file servers during production hours. And then the second one would be ransomware protection and analytics. It gives you great visibility and protection on your file shares that are otherwise the most common sources of vulnerabilities."
"The solution is stable and extremely easy to calibrate."
"Azure's technical support could be better - they take a long time to respond, and issues get transferred to multiple engineers, so you have to repeat the whole story every time without getting any proper resolution."
"The password retrieval process was very difficult."
"One of the things that are currently important is consistency. To achieve this, another database called Cosmos DB is available. We want to have a similar consistency to the one in Cosmos DB but at a cheaper price."
"The administration of the solution is not as easy as we would like it to be."
"If we look at the different versions of that ADLS, it really does not have a hierarchical storage mechanism."
"Microsoft Azure Object Storage has had a number of failures last week due to the lack of hardware available to support the resources. However, it was only for a short time, approximately two days."
"The solution's stability should be improved."
"We've seen some performance issues with Azure Table storage. It's quite slow. The performance surrounding it should be improved to speed things up a bit."
"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 is very expensive."
"Nutanix needs to improve their cybersecurity options at the storage level."
"The interface is not logical. It should be a little simpler."
"The current hardware is not as dense as it could be. In our deployment, we have 2 PB per site, and we have to have 24 nodes. That's a lot of cabling and network ports that we use up. More dense nodes would be better."
"The escalation process with technical support could do with some improvement."
"The feature request I have is for the consistent improvement of how user account permissions are assigned in Nutanix Unified Storage."
"One thing I'd appreciate is having a desktop application similar to what VMware offered."
