We performed a comparison between NetApp NVMe AFF A800 and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two NVMe All-Flash Storage Arrays solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We put a fair amount of stress on it because we run sequel workloads and we run web applications where the same web files are hit over and over. We have had almost zero stability issues with that SAN, that has been really great for us."
"The compression and deduplication features help to make the best use of the capacity."
"It has made working with storage as easy and simple as it should be."
"Support has been helpful."
"As soon as we introduced our first Pure Storage FlashArray, the first benefit was at least twice the performance increase. Our production databases simply ran twice as fast with no other change."
"The deduplication in the array combined with its snap technologies allows the product to be remotely/manually controlled or scheduled."
"The stability of Pure Storage is very very good."
"Performance, deduplication, compression, and fast response time for requests from servers and applications."
"The storage features are valuable."
"The most valuable features are stability and performance."
"The product can be scaled vertically as well as horizontally."
"We find the product to be very flexible."
"You can easily scale up, and scale-out."
"During the use cases of the solution, its reliability and suitability are the best."
"Low latency is the most valuable feature."
"NetApp NVMe AFF A800 is easier to use than some other solutions and the UI is very good to use for day-to-day activities. Overall, the solution has good technology."
"It is all-in-one. The compute processing, storage, and network altogether make it convenient. We don't have to have different modules for expansion."
"It is easy to use. One of the things they have as a design goal is to reduce complexity and simplify things."
"Data locality provides super-fast data access and ultra-low latency."
"It offers very useful data protection."
"The most valuable feature is Move, which allows you to migrate virtual machines from VM to AHV."
"The scalability is great."
"The interface is very good. Before we used this solution, we had separate storage and switches, but with the hyper convert, it's all in one."
"Being able to upgrade our entire cluster with the click of a button during business hours with zero downtime has made managing our infrastructure so easy."
"I can't see where they can make anything better, unless, of course, they lower their prices even more."
"Currently, the solution fails to support file screening."
"I’d love to view the average, minimum and maximum performance in the reports (Analysis tab - Performance) but it is only graphics and you need to export data in CSV to find this information."
"They have a product, FlashBlade, which is their object storage integration, and that's something that we haven't integrated with yet. This might be an area for additional focus as it would play into scalability, because the very nature of object storage is that it's infinitely scalable."
"Automation could be simplified."
"It is a bit expensive."
"Pricing could be better in comparison to other solutions."
"The initial setup was a little complex. We had some initial issues with the design and had to help correct some of the white papers for it, but it wasn't your standard use case."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The technical support has room for improvement."
"The product's performance has some shortcomings, making it an area that could be a little better."
"The initial setup should be easier, and more like a plug-and-play approach."
"The support can take a few days to have a response. However, the response that we do receive is very informative."
"Stability is an area with a certain shortcoming where the solution needs to improve"
"The cost of the solution is quite high. It would be ideal if they could adjust it so that it's a but less."
"Increasing the RAM, and including physical cords would be beneficial."
"Setup can be a little difficult"
"Reduce its power consumption."
"There is a feature that exists used for disaster recovery, but it requires an extra license. It should be included with the regular normal standard license."
"The latency needs improvement"
"There is a lot of functionality in Prism Central, but sometimes you want to see those features in Prism Element."
"As far as what could be improved, they have some built-in backup functions already, but any built-in isolation features like vision security features and free LAN features become a security concern."
"I would like better integration of XenServer into the AOS and Prism Central."
"Areas for improvement would be the memory setting and the CPU setting reserve features, which are not available on Acropolis. I also feel that the DR solution, the reporting, and the component that is combined with the Nutanix OSP need to be improved."
