We performed a comparison between Nutanix Database Service and VMware Postgres based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Database Development and Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We use the solution to save costs and simplify operations."
"It is also a single platform, all in one place, and that is a reason we went for this solution. Earlier, we had multiple platforms, the database and the OS, but this is a single platform that helps us with what we are doing."
"Overall, the solution is very good. It's easy to use and simple to handle many actions, such as VM cloning, testing, and prediction."
"The patching is the most valuable feature. We spent a lot of time and effort on the patching of our SQL instances after hours. With Nutanix Era, you can schedule and automate them during your normal operational hours (during the day). You schedule all the patching, then everything happens automatically with minor tickets from the engineer. So, our patching, which took four hours, went down to an hour for the engineer. This is much better for us from a return on investment perspective."
"AI has been deployed within Nutanix. It's very easy to provision the machine within minutes of the application orders. They can hand those over and work along with the AI team to get the data available quickly for business analysis."
"The most valuable feature is its robust infrastructure management tools."
"There are a lot of options for working with the database."
"It saves operation time and day-to-day tasks."
"The solution could improve by providing more support for more vendors."
"It should be able to be consumed by other customers because only the enterprise cloud customers are able to buy this software."
"The downside of this solution is that it's more expensive than its competitors."
"This solution could be improved by integrating with more database providers."
"I would like to see the SQL compatibility enhanced."
"The updating of the database engine is something that can be improved. For example, assume that we are using PostgreSQL out of the box, and it is version 10. If we want to migrate to version 11, 12, or 13, then it is not very easy to do that using Nutanix Era."
"The solution should provide more integration with more databases."
"The patching should be a one-button function. Also, it works about 80 percent of the time, but 20 percent of the time it requires manual intervention. And sometimes, until you understand the technical underpinnings of that process, you can't fix it. I thought we would move past that. In the last version, they broke a big chunk of that for me, and that's why I'm waiting for the new release because they promised me it would fix the problem."
"It doesn't have any GUI-based monitoring tools."
"This solution struggled with multi-regional synchronization."
