Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Quest Software, SolarWinds and others in Database Development and Management."One feature that is very good is the backup and validation process that's built into Era."
"We use the solution to save costs and simplify operations."
"We have an enterprise-level backup product that we're required to use, so we don't rely on Era's version. [But] it could be an awesome first-line backup. It's very elegant the way they designed it. It's quick and it doesn't take up nearly as much storage space as traditional backups. It would definitely help to save on tier-one storage."
"Overall, the solution is very good. It's easy to use and simple to handle many actions, such as VM cloning, testing, and prediction."
"This is a very useful solution for database management."
"It has wizards that are very helpful in the installation, and it handles automation as well as virtualization once deployed."
"It has some very good features. It really works with multiple silos in terms of infrastructure, database updates, and migration. So many things are easy with Era."
"What I like about this solution is that it's more reliable compared to other solutions."
"The solution improved our site reliability."
"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."
"If there were data integration services included with the platform then it would be interesting, and it would help us a lot."
"The downside of this solution is that it's more expensive than its competitors."
"It would be helpful if we could patch Windows operating systems with the solution."
"The solution should provide more integration with more databases."
"Their support is helpful, but maybe they need more technical staff. Their response was slow once, but that was the only time it happened, so I'm not sure."
"The initial setup was a little tedious and complex. If they could make the setup slightly more user-friendly, then that would definitely be beneficial. If they could give a clear indication of what ports are required across the business and multiple VLANs, then your prep work can be done beforehand and before you do the actual installation. Because the documentation that was provided was not 100 percent accurate, so we had to do a lot of custom firewall rules after we deployed Nutanix Era."
"It should be able to be consumed by other customers because only the enterprise cloud customers are able to buy this software."
"The initial deployment was a little difficult."
