We performed a comparison between Nutanix Database Service and Redgate SQL Toolbelt based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Quest Software, SolarWinds and others in Database Development and Management."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."
"The Time Machine is the most valuable feature for us. Using it means that we don't have to take regular snapshots, yet we are still able to restore the database quickly in the event of a problem."
"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 of Nutanix Database Service is the ability to manage multiple vendors."
"One feature that is very good is the backup and validation process that's built into Era."
"It has wizards that are very helpful in the installation, and it handles automation as well as virtualization once deployed."
"Overall, the solution is very good. It's easy to use and simple to handle many actions, such as VM cloning, testing, and prediction."
"We use the solution to save costs and simplify operations."
"It is easy to track the reports, this is what is most valuable for me."
"The most valuable feature is SQL Search."
"The solution could improve by providing more support for more vendors."
"The graphical user interfaces could be much more user-friendly. They are already user-friendly, but they could be simpler so that we do not need L3 staff to handle them. If they were simpler, we could also have some command center or L1/L1.5 associates do some housekeeping activities on it."
"I would like to see the SQL compatibility enhanced."
"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 downside of this solution is that it's more expensive than its competitors."
"If there were data integration services included with the platform then it would be interesting, and it would help us a lot."
"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."
"The solution needs to improve compatibility with other back-ups and products."
"The biggest problem with the Redgate SQL Toolbelt is just how heavy it is; it seems to take a lot of resources."
"I would like to see the bandwidth increase allowing me to easily analyze more data."
