Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The feature that stands out for me is the simplicity and ease of use. That is what comes to mind when I think about the Prism console. You don't need to be a core technical person to manage a cluster. Everything is available in the console itself.""The solution is a high-performance platform that effectively handles three-layered issues like SA and network fiber cables.""Nutanix is a HCA product and includes VMware called Nutanix Express that has been fantastic for us. We have about 100 plus VMs without any trouble and we have VCDR.""Aside from ease of use, scalability is one of the key points of this solution.""Duplication and compression work for data in a hybrid solution.""Since we began using Nutanix the performance for virtual desktops is much better.""The solution's technical support is helpful and responsive.""It provides a single pane of glass and the graphics and the presentation are quite good. It's quite exciting for me. I would rate it 10 out of 10. The user interface is pretty easy to use for compute and storage."

"What was very compelling about OpsView was that we could dial out the noise and have meaningful and actionable alerts.""We use this solution for internal monitoring our own cloud platform because we are a public cloud provider. We also use it for monitoring purposes on behalf of our clients.""I am satisfied with the overall product since it works well…It is a stable solution.""It's a good solution. It covers all aspects of monitoring purposes.""The most valuable feature of Opsview is the ability to clone the services when you're monitoring something out of the test setup."

Cons
"The stability has room for improvement.""The three clusters we have at our remote offices are just one-node clusters. If there were an easier way to upgrade items such as the BIOS, SATA drives, the BMC, et cetera, on those, that would be helpful.""In the next release, I would like the ability to browse data stores.""The solution does not support creating hybrid disc clusters.""The automation needs to be improved, as there are several challenges.""I would like more insights about virtual machines. It would be helpful to have more detailed information about resource allocation and usage, so we can distribute resources and reassign them more efficiently.""The simplicity that Prism provides is something of a dual-edged sword. It can be almost too simple at times. When there is an issue and something is really wrong, it can make it a little more difficult to track it down because the Prism interface is very limited for drilling down into those highly technical or highly complicated errors.""I wish the main landing page, the dashboard, could be organized in a way where, when there is an alert because something is wrong, I would not have to click three or four times to get to what actually happened. I wish it were quicker to get to the bottom of the problem."

More Nutanix Prism Cons →

"Some of the graphics on Opsview could be improved.""Customized reporting can be improved.""Maybe the graphical representation can be improved. It can be enhanced for better visualization. It could be a little better. And the graph center can be improved.""In a future release, we would like to have Observ for AI. Any AI and intelligence it can add to the monitoring is obviously beneficial. We would also like to have automated callouts.""Pricing and a few certain aspects in the solution needs to be improved."

  • "Nutanix Prism is priced better than some of the competing solutions."
  • "This product is cheaper than using VMware."

  • "The license for Prism is costlier than other VMs."
  • "We have spent a lot of money on the Nutanix solution with Prism. Yet, for this amount of money we could be buying high-end storage with a lot of IOPS and bandwidth, even more than with Nutanix."
  • "Nutanix have bundles for pricing. On a single bundle, we get everything including vSAN or VMware and there are no additional costs. It is just a single license that is needed."
