Cons
"We have had to deal with some infrastructure and general cluster issues but these issues don't impact storage.""Lowering the price would improve this product.""The interface could be improved.""The escalation process with technical support could do with some improvement.""The current hardware is not as dense as it could be. In our deployment, we have 2 PB per site, and we have to have 24 nodes. That's a lot of cabling and network ports that we use up. More dense nodes would be better.""We have issues with software updates occasionally.""Allowing the use of the Gflag compromises the integrity of the Nutanix system and its established standards.""Nutanix should improve the one-click upgrade. There are a lot of dependencies on third-party licenses and HP hardware we use internally. The one-click upgrade fails sometimes."

More Nutanix Unified Storage Cons →

"The product's technical support services need improvement in terms of response time.""Oracle Database Backup Service is not a cheap solution.""Deployment is overly complex and could be streamlined.""We cannot use the product with other brands.""The product can protect from external data penetration, but the in-house IT team can access it.""The solution needs to add an archive function.""It's already fast, but still, they could improve the speed.""We encounter issues while restoring differential and cumulative backups."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The price of the license is expensive when comparing it to traditional storage."
  • "I find Nutanix Files Storage competitively priced, even its feature set. Its price is seven out of ten."
  • "If we compare the cost of Nutanix Objects Storage to other solutions such as VMware licenses, our current choice is Nutanix Objects Storage. This solution is more cost-effective. However, adding VMware to Nutanix would not be a cost-efficient decision, which is why we do not use it anymore."
  • "It is quite expensive otherwise as it comes with three-tier peer underlying hardware."
  • "For clients running Nutanix, the licensing cost for Files is a small add-on cost."
  • "With all of the Nutanix equipment, the licensing is expensive. We operate in the enterprise space, but we're a midsized company. At times, the price tag is a little bit shocking for a company with only 35 employees. We're not a Fortune 500 company, but we deal with Fortune 500 drug and energy companies. We have to play in that enterprise space if we're going to have enterprise customers. I'm very price-conscious, but I understand that if I want the best, I've got to pay the price."
  • "It's not the cheapest solution. It's in line with other solutions, but it offers features that the competitors don't have at any price point, especially with regard to analytics and ransomware prevention. No one else has any sort of object-based storage available. Nutanix Unified Storage is a lot more feature-rich. This is a situation where you get what you pay for."
  • "The product is pricey."

  • "It's an expensive solution and is an area that needs improvement."
  • "Price is always an area that could be made better, as it is quite expensive."
  • "On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate Oracle Database Backup Service a seven or eight out of ten."
  • "The platform is expensive."
  • "The platform is expensive."
  • "The only problem with Oracle is its pricing."
