We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The Clone and Snapshot features are two of the most valuable aspects of the solution for our organization. Rather than simply one-click automation the Snapshot and reverse Snapshot are great.""It's easy to spin up VMs and makes cluster maintenance easy, especially with the LCM (Life Cycle Manager) that is built-in. That helps do installs of AHV or even ESXi. You can also upgrade the AOS software that runs the Nutanix clusters. And you can upgrade the firmware, which is nice.""For me, the speed of cloning virtual machines and the hyper-convergence feature are the most valuable aspects of the solution.""Nutanix Insights... does analytics on resource usage for all virtual machines to determine if they are using the allocated resources efficiently or if they are wasting them. It gives us insights into which virtual machines are using the resources over the past months or weeks or days, and which ones are not using them. That way, we can rearrange resource usage for the virtual machines.""It is stable and reliable.""Since we began using Nutanix the performance for virtual desktops is much better.""By using virtualization, we are saving on the cost of hardware."

"Customers have noted the solution helps streamline incident management.""The most valuable features are the mapping of the entities, which provides a comprehensive analysis, and the service analyzer for thresholding.""It's scalable and expands well.""ITSI provides a visual representation of complex tools and context, using color coding and other features to make it easy for anyone at the monitoring or service desk to use.""The flexibility to develop and consolidate many solutions into one platform is great.""The root cause analysis is very helpful for us.""The solution has been stable.""The feature that stood out to me most from Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI) was automated dashboarding or reporting. The solution lists the severity level of issues, and the response times."

Cons
"Nutanix is a great product, but I won't say it is a data center product. If it could leverage or work with non-Nutanix infrastructure, it would be a total data center solution. Right now, with Prism Central, we can only manage Nutanix clusters.""There can be some constraints on how it scales, making granular scaling difficult with the product.""Perhaps the interface can be more intuitive.""One problem I faced when creating a VM and adding a hard disk to is that Nutanix Prism did not allow me to reduce that VM's hard disk.""In the next release, I would like the ability to browse data stores.""Although this solution has very good analytics capabilities, it can be even more granular.""I would like to have some cluster management tools included.""Does not yet have micro application using a company's provider."

More Nutanix Prism Cons →

"It is pretty okay. I am not sure whether the current release has already moved to the new framework where instead of the glass tables, we can directly use the Dashboard Studio. It would be nice to have that integrated into the same framework.""Integration is the most critical area to improve in Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI). It wasn't a great experience because you had to do a little back and forth to integrate the solution.""We experience occasional delays in receiving solutions from Splunk technical support. Splunk's support for P3 cases seems inadequate, as they frequently switch support personnel. For instance, in a single P3 case, we had three different technical support representatives assigned. We were ultimately forced to escalate the issue to our account manager to get it resolved. In essence, we never receive complete support from a single point of contact; instead, the support team keeps changing, necessitating us to explain the problem from scratch each time.""Splunk ITSI lacks out-of-the-box solutions for enterprise users.""We have problems doing upgrades and operating alternate new versions.""We're using predictive analytics, and there are three or four algorithms. It would be helpful if this process were more standardized and scalable.""It would be good if an interface was included in the next release.""It was an intimidating tool for us to jump into at the beginning."
