We performed a comparison between Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) and Red Hat Ceph Storage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Software Defined Storage (SDS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Prism Central allows managing the cluster from a single pane of glass, and it allows a deeper dive into the solution."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure's most valuable features are all the cloud facilities or benefits it provides for my data center."
"You need to send commands through the command-line interface(CLI). This could be improved. The commands are done better in VMware."
"The fact that there is only one interface to deploy a complete solution for maximum storage is fantastic."
"The most valuable feature is the solution's ease of upgrading."
"The solution is easy to use and the pricing is affordable."
"Great flexibility and scalability."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS makes it easy to use and manage projects and it has a good reputation."
"Without any extra costs, I was able to provide a redundant environment."
"The community support is very good."
"Data redundancy is a key feature, since it can survive failures (disks/servers). We didn’t lose our data or have a service interruption during server/disk failures."
"The most valuable feature is the stability of the product."
"Most of the features are beneficial and one does not stand out above the rest."
"We have not encountered any stability issues for the product."
"We use the solution for cloud storage."
"High reliability with commodity hardware."
"To have internal stability, we needed to network the solution ourselves. Performance depends on the application. Performance could be the lack of IOPS, memory and CPU and configuration issues."
"The documentation could be improved."
"The latency needs improvement"
"The reporting section of the dashboard could be improved to include more detailed reporting about the servers."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS is new technology in a competitive market. Pricing is too high for a new product and requires better discounts to be able to compete with IBM, Dell EMC, and HP."
"Lacks sufficient integration with other vendors and public clouds."
"One thing to keep in mind is that only experts can use it. It has to be in the proper hands, instead of going to XYZ people just for some cost savings. So lift-and-shift and migrations might be tricky, because it is not like a VMware."
"Make it easier to manage."
"It needs a better UI for easier installation and management."
"Please create a failback solution for OpenStack replication and maybe QoS to allow guaranteed IOPS."
"I would like to see better performance and stability when Ceph is in recovery."
"Geo-replication needs improvement. It is a new feature, and not well supported yet."
"The management features are pretty good, but they still have room for improvement."
"If you use for any other solution like other Kubernetes solutions, it's not very suitable."
"I have encountered issues with stability when replication factor was not 3, which is the default and recommended value. Go below 3 and problems will arise."
"Routing around slow hardware."
