We performed a comparison between Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) and ScaleIO [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about StarWind, Nutanix, Red Hat and others in Software Defined Storage (SDS)."One of the main features of the solution is that it works on many hypervisors. It is a big advantage. Additionally, the solution is compatible with VMware and Hyper-V, and the management interface, which is called Prism, is very intuitive and user-friendly."
"Nutanix does a superb job with technical support."
"Its most valuable feature is simplicity. It is so easy to use. Upgrades are easy. It is easy in terms of disaster recovery, failover, database provisioning, and reporting. Everything about it is just simple."
"It gives us a single dashboard to control multiple sites and multiple zones. It helps to do things on a single platform and data sharing is quite easy. The network and the security are easy to manage."
"Hyperconverged Infrastructure is the most valuable feature of Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure."
"The pricing is pretty good."
"The hyperconvergence service, as well as the DR solution, are game-changers for Nutanix."
"This operating system offers stability. Setup is straightforward."
"Automatic rebalancing is the feature saving administration time."
"They know how to clearly present any important data, including data flow and each drive's IOPS/bandwidth; and allow the user to easily monitor bottlenecks and problems"
"Compared to other products in this category that are competing with Dell EMC, Dell seems to us to always come out on top."
"We are using it as the primary virtualization storage (both for internal corporate users and external customers) for VMware and Hyper-V virtualization platforms."
"I think some of the tasks that must be done using CLI could be added to the web interface."
"The scalability of Nutanix Acropolis AOS needs improvement."
"I would like to see more Kubernetes and container-related workflows and multiple cloud-partner management. I would also like to see how they will synergize all these AI/ML functionalities that are available on other platforms."
"As of now, Acropolis and VMware cannot talk to each other. Until we have some kind of interface, it would be much better for Nutanix if they built an interface that can talk. Otherwise, if I have a VMware stack and I already have a Nutanix stack, I can create containers, I create clusters on VMware, I create clusters on Nutanix."
"With some projects that we are deploying, there are errors that arise when adding nodes."
"The ability to create clusters faster would be nice to see in a future release."
"I feel like the flow chart and the automated processes have some room for improvement. They're nearly there, and the rest is fine. They've improved a lot over the past few years."
"The latency needs improvement"
"There is room for improvement in the area of horizontal scaling."
"It would be nice to set minimum IOPS per volume, besides just the maximum, to be able to satisfy this demand from customers out-of-the-box, not by calculating number of disks, etc."
"If they could introduce a write cache feature, the product would be perfect overall."
"Ecosystem around the product: There is no built-in system for viewing history data, such as volume IOPS. We have to provide graphing by Prometheus and Grafana, which would be a good new feature in ScaleIO."
