We performed a comparison between Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) and Oracle Exalogic [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Nutanix, VMware and others in HCI."Having the ability to scale horizontally if needed is a huge plus for future growth."
"Starwind support is excellent. They are very fast and have very good knowledge of Starwind and Hyper-V Cluster software."
"The management was very easy and I was able to find all that I need in the software dashboard."
"StarWind saved us about 80% of our storage costs over our old solution."
"The most valuable feature is the reliable storage replication, which enables me to create a robust infrastructure to run our business."
"StarWind Virtual SAN can improve an organization's storage infrastructure by providing high availability, scalability, cost-effectiveness, performance, and ease of use."
"Active-active HA provides top performance and redundancy."
"The installation of StarWind Virtual SAN was pretty easy, and the configuration was done in no time."
"I can use VMware or Hyper-V license, if I already have. But if I use a similar solution as Nutanix Acropolis hypervisor (AHV) that comes embedded in Nutanix solution, I can manage all my virtual environments with everything I need without spend more money on licenses."
"One of the most valuable features is the One-Click Upgrade. When I need to update the system, I do it with one click. This product is amazing because everything is easy to manage, from network management to snapshots."
"The product is easy to manage."
"It's much easier and faster even when you want to create a server from a template or clone."
"The initial setup was quite straightforward."
"It has seamless expandability."
"The fact that there is only one interface to deploy a complete solution for maximum storage is fantastic."
"I have found the solution to be stable."
"Server consolidation. In a cloud architecture, moving the HA VM from one to other is faster. This is because of the InfiniBand network fabric between the compute nodes and storage nodes (ZFS Storage)."
"Provides high-speed network, strong storage features (ZFS), High Availability out of the box, and is Integrated with a large number of products."
"The main benefit of using the solution is for the performance it provides."
"Enterprise high-speed interoperability: With IPoIB we can deliver to other environments, either IP-Ethernet-based or IP-InfiniBand-based protocol, both with minimum bandwidth capacity of 10Gbps, 20Gbps, or 40Gbps, redundantly."
"Scalablility: When we need to upgrade from an eighth-rack to a full-rack, the real downtime is less then an hour."
"The automation and provisioning of the environment, as well as the centralized monitoring, have all improved over the years."
"Exalogic offers integration with other engineered systems, which increases the throughput capability and enables processing of bigger and heavier workloads."
"Geolocation could be better, for example, for site mirroring for DR purposes."
"We have, in rare cases, received conflicting guidance between different support folks within StarWind."
"There needs to be more visibility on how long the cloud replication will take as there is no current ETA."
"It would be nice to see a new UI for the windows client, as it is not the easiest to find settings."
"A central management console may be nice to see all nodes."
"Other vendors such as VMware vSAN have a bigger community of users, so it is easier to find more pre-sale or post-sale information from users."
"It would be great if it provided thin provisioned virtual disks."
"Security on the ISCSI protocol could be improved by adding features like OS-type control access, especially for the data center environment."
"The name of the solutions offered by Nutanix does not indicate what the tool does."
"I would enjoy an advanced mode where experienced users can leverage their knowledge to do advanced things currently only allowed using the command line tools on the CVM."
"In the licensing, it needs to be clear about features because it is not clear whether Flow is integrated or not."
"I would like to see official compatibility with Red Hat in the future."
"The productivity and work efficiency of Nutanix Acropolis AOS could improve."
"The One-Click Upgrade process could/should offer the ability to integrate with 3rd party drivers. For example, we use NVIDIA Grid graphics cards. It would be amazing if, during the One-Click Upgrade process, we could "slipstream" additional VIB drivers for ESXi into the upgrade process."
"As of now, Acropolis and VMware cannot talk to each other. Until we have some kind of interface, it would be much better for Nutanix if they built an interface which can talk. Otherwise, if I have a VMware stack and I already have a Nutanix stack, I create containers, I create clusters on VMware, I create clusters on Nutanix. All of these clusters cannot talk to each other. Then it has to be then subverted as a parallel execution. What happens then is that I have to work in two different environments within my data center. Practically, they are two different data centers but physically and logically, they are one. If they cannot talk to each other that creates a lot of issues. That is something which Nutanix has to develop because for Nutanix it is very simple. For example, Oracle is using a function called GoldenGate. They have a feature called GoldenGate which allows them to talk to various different environments which must really help."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure's cloud platform management software could be improved so that I can manage my load between the cloud and on-premises."
"The solution needs to add a network virtualization feature similar to that of VxRail. If they could implement that, it would be great for the product."
"Middleware application services, such as statistics, data mining, could be better."
"The solution is prone to disk failures. This needs to improve. Over the past four years we've had to replace about six of them. They've failed almost every three to six months."
