Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Quest Software, SolarWinds and others in Database Development and Management."The most valuable feature of Nutanix Database Service is the ability to manage multiple vendors."
"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."
"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."
"It has wizards that are very helpful in the installation, and it handles automation as well as virtualization once deployed."
"The most valuable feature is its robust infrastructure management tools."
"This is a very useful solution for database management."
"It saves operation time and day-to-day tasks."
"To be able to go back in history and find out what was happening at certain times is the most valuable feature of the product."
"This solution has identified blocking, deadlock, memory pressure, and high CPU consumption issues."
"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."
"Patch management is an issue as it regularly causes stability problems."
"It should be able to be consumed by other customers because only the enterprise cloud customers are able to buy this software."
"I would like to see the SQL compatibility enhanced."
"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."
"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 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."
"There could be some more metrics on the high availability to let us know when there are issues synchronizing between the hosts."
"If we can get details on wait types from system views, it will help identify a more detailed root cause."
