We performed a comparison between Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) and Reduxio [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Nutanix, VMware and others in HCI."I like the asynchronous replication and failover features. They are what I'm primarily using it for. The asynchronous replication is helpful because our servers are backed up continuously throughout the day. If anything goes wrong we just fail over immediately. That is a very nice feature to have."
"It also provides a seamless and efficient solution for personal storage requirements, showcasing the versatility and scalability of my Virtual SAN configuration."
"A great feature is that I basically set it and forget it, as everything is automatic."
"VSAN works great; it's very easy to install, configure, and manage."
"The iSCSI protocol is quite simple to configure."
"The failover redundancy is why we bought this product and it has never let us down."
"The performance of the solution is accurate and concise."
"StarWind vSAN has allowed us to grow rapidly while still providing flexibility and reliability."
"The interface is very good. Before we used this solution, we had separate storage and switches, but with the hyper convert, it's all in one."
"I like NCI's dashboard. If there are any infrastructure issues, we'll get alerts inside the dashboard. NCI provides a single platform for managing all of our databases. We are running SQL and Linux databases."
"One of the most valuable features of Nutanix is that it's easy to use. I love this solution—it's easy to maintain and update, and I think it's almost perfect."
"One of the most valuable features is that it can be applied at any scale."
"The pricing is pretty good."
"Best features are around data locality, compression, and deduplication."
"Their Google operating system is more mature, so their results are much better."
"It is less expensive than VMware products. It is also a little bit more flexible, but it really comes down to price for us."
"I like the performance. I think it's what you call a hybrid SAN. It has solid state drives and, of course, regular optical drives, which would make performance a lot better, faster."
"Instant recovery through its continuous data protection."
"Reduxio offers a very simple, elegant user interface (design) to manage it."
"I have an every second undo button for all my applications. I call Reduxio "the ransomware killer"."
"The whole product is based on point-in-time restore capabilities built into their storage appliance, and no one else I know does that."
"Improves the response of the VMs by having the most used portions on the flashcache."
"Most storage arrays when you buy them, they call it a "forklift upgrade," where a forklift comes in there and pulls out the old storage, and brings in a new storage. But with Reduxio, it can use all your old storage arrays, whether they're NetApp, or IBM, or EMC, or HPE, as targets for doing backups."
"The machine has been easy to use."
"Currently, the StarWind management console is a bit clunky to navigate and isn't the most user-intuitive interface."
"The most disappointing side of the application is the free edition. There used to be GUI attached. That has recently changed to only CLI management of the application."
"For me, the product could be improved by it being made cheaper."
"They need to invest more in the support documents for real issues happening when integrating the solution with the hypervisor."
"Updating the software can be a bit tricky."
"If there are domain controllers inside the cluster, there needs to be some sort of logic allowing them to boot independently so all the rest of the domain clients can gain the authority they need to come online."
"In the next release, they could make some graphs of the real-time loading, speed of storage, and interfaces. Of course, these can be viewed in other places. But, in the event of a malfunction or troubleshooting, this would be convenient."
"I would like to see an extensive set of cmdlets that could allow for easier automation as well as status management."
"Nutanix has a complex infrastructure, we have customers that consider VMware instead. Additionally, the performance could be better."
"There are other services that Nutanix has that could be improved, but I'm not very familiar with the other services of Nutanix, such as Era and Flow. However, they seem a bit hard for us to implement and integrate with the Nutanix Acropolis AOS and other Nutanix tools. We would not dare to implement those other Nutanix solutions into Nutanix Acropolis AOS right now. The implementation of that tool could be the problem, I am a bit hesitant to implement the other tools into Nutanix Acropolis AOS."
"We could always use a performance upgrade, or simplified management."
"Lacks sufficient integration with other vendors and public clouds."
"It already has the capability to integrate with the major cloud providers but, in an upcoming release, if there is a possibility to have it integrate with other cloud providers like IBM, Alibaba, and other moderate-level cloud providers, that would be good."
"If they can simplify the software slightly for the installation, that would make all the difference."
"It does not have good backup feature tools, like having templates or being able to back up every two or three days."
"We have a team that does the implementation of the solution for our customers, it is better to have professionals handle the process."
"Needs some hooks into cloud storage for backup. Also they should update the system to use additional secondary storage as a resource."
"Scalability. Reduxio has only one product, they don’t have an option, for now, to expand the storage product."
"We had a brief hiccup, a brief outage, during one upgrade process, but it wasn't too extreme."
"Would love to have role-based access and an active directory integration."
"It would be nice feature if the GUI had an option to export the current unit configuration to a file or an email recipient. In case of a disaster, this way it would be quicker to get a replacement unit up and running again."
"I am waiting for the vSphere Plug-In with individual VM level control."
"t would be helpful to have a mobile app to monitor the storage array remotely."
"There is only thing I can think of at the moment, that would be detailed printable reports."
