We performed a comparison between NetApp FAS Series and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Deduplication Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is very stable and reliable"
"The product is user-friendly and helps to evaluate the performance of each node. It ensures that if one node encounters an issue, the system can immediately redistribute the workload without interruptions. This setup provides uninterrupted operation for our systems."
"Using the built-in Snapshots and SnapMirror technology, we were able to have better working data protection locally and off-site."
"Better performance and lower costs."
"It allows our Windows and Unix teams to have a centralized point to share data between the two."
"The replication feature is noteworthy because it's faster than most and it uses little bandwidth. Then there's the friendly interface that the equipment offers. With this interface, it is very easy to manage."
"Reliable storage solution with an easy setup. It has high availability and makes single file restoration easy. It also has good stability and scalability."
"The new FAS series is a good fit for some customers. We have good performance and capacity, even though it is full flash."
"It has a single pane of glass and you don't have to jump around various toolsets."
"It supports multi-cloud integration that includes AWS, Google, and Azure."
"I definitely find the reduced power consumption very valuable."
"It's easy to use and has a very smooth onboarding process."
"It gives us a single dashboard to control multiple sites and multiple zones. It helps to do things on a single platform and data sharing is quite easy. The network and the security are easy to manage."
"The architecture of Nutanix is the best, and the virtualization we get, out of the box, is an advantage. Also, dedupe and compression are done natively, inside the platform, so there are no additional licenses. That adds value to it."
"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."
"It has centralized management. It is easy for an engineer to manage. More work goes to patching, upgrades, and maintenance. Nutanix is very easy to upgrade. It takes one click. Engineers do not need to spend additional time with Nutanix for upgrades. With one click, it will complete the upgrade and show the results. Other hypervisor solutions are not like this, specifically since you must do all the components one by one."
"The adoption of flash by NetApp has also been lagging behind the trendsetters, like TMS, Nimble, and others."
"We are not able to connect to the support of NetApp from Sudan. We have to go through many agents for support, which makes it difficult."
"I would like to see NetApp add incident support."
"Needs more SAN support."
"We no longer have OEM support in South Africa which is not helpful, it can be difficult. They should add an office back to the country because it was better."
"We have some experience with older equipment end-of-life. For example, when warranty support stops or updates stop – it can be frustrating. Not all clients can buy a new filer every year or two, and NetApp ending support a bit quickly can be a concern."
"For long term partnership in Myanmar, the local warehouse should be built in Myanmar that's something I'd like to see. We have some issues with supply so there is sometimes a delay in getting the hardware."
"We're supposed to have used NetApp FAS Series for replication, but then one of the nodes failed, and then it's taken us some time to bring it up."
"Regarding third-party backup solutions, the only agentless option is Commvault, which is expensive, complex, and requires intensive vendor training."
"This solution would be improved with built-in integration with Rubrik."
"The product needs improvement in the areas of SAN attachment for high capacity and high I/O profile workloads."
"The ability to create clusters faster would be nice to see in a future release."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure lacks compatibility with certain older processors."
"It's lacking in some features but overcompensating in others."
"The process of migrating from old hardware to new could improve."
"The product requires a lot of resources."
