We performed a comparison between Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) and Oracle VM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."It includes every feature that a traditional SAN offers and so much more."
"We can lose a site or even two of our three, and we would lose no data and have no outage."
"The customer support provided by StarWind is excellent."
"It is easy to use and can monitor system synchronization and check Storage status. StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN) combines flash and disks of the cluster and forms a virtual shared storage “pool” accessible by all hosts. StarWind cuts down virtualization cost and complexity by eliminating the need for a physical shared storage (SAN). -StarWind offers the Enterprise-level high availability (HA), deployed and easily configured . we get technical support from star wind team when implementation software and after setup if we face any issue."
"This solution enables us to make better cost-effective use of our existing hardware and leverage the current infrastructure at a higher level than we could before."
"The ability to run the software virtually on every virtualization platform and the ability to eliminate all storage vendor locking are the most valuable features."
"We have experienced multiple hardware failures at one site and the fault-tolerant volume worked exactly as expected with zero downtime."
"It has great free trials that allow end users to test a large variety of their products before deciding to buy the full product."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure's most valuable features are all the cloud facilities or benefits it provides for my data center."
"Nutanix has the best virtual desktop infrastructure."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is Move, which allows you to migrate virtual machines from VM to AHV."
"We are suggesting Nutanix to the management because of scalability and time efficiency."
"Management is simple"
"They have one of the best technical supports in my experience."
"It offers very useful data protection."
"The Foundation is the most valuable feature of Oracle VM."
"It provides enhancements for network and storage configuration, policy-based management for delivering application resource flexibility, and a GUI."
"The stability of the product is fine."
"It's quite stable."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"It is highly esteemed for its ability to efficiently optimize and enhance the operational speed and responsiveness of virtualized environments."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the resource management from the OVM Manager."
"There's a lot of space to customize the solution if you need to."
"A better overall view of the different deployments could be beneficial, although this is difficult due to how flexible the solution is."
"Diagnostics information or alerts on the state of systems could also be implemented to give more visibility."
"Being able to run StarWind vSAN on top of any free UNIX operating system to build a resilient iSCSI/FTP/SMB storage system would be useful."
"StarWind really needs to market its product more."
"I would like an automated installation/configuration despite the fact that their service is very collaborative, a customer should be able to deploy the solution by themselves."
"The console is something that I believe could be enhanced."
"I struggled when bit figuring out how to go about doing the evaluation."
"Our company was hoping for deduplication and encryption across HCI. That is currently not supported."
"The pricing of the solution is too high. It needs to be adjusted or lowered to be more competitive."
"I would like to see official compatibility with Red Hat in the future."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS is new technology in a competitive market. Pricing is too high for a new product and requires better discounts to be able to compete with IBM, Dell EMC, and HP."
"One thing I've noticed is that, when you do a shift from VMware to Nutanix, it opens the setup of the VM that's currently running. If people from another site double click on it, it opens the VM instead of the setup of the unit. So I would suggest that this could perhaps be switched. That is so far the only change I would like. I would like it if they could fix the instance where you double click on a VM and it opens the VM instead of the setup. That's the only thing that's a major bother to me."
"Nutanix now supports four hypervisors but they are not all at feature parity."
"An area for improvement would be the cyber security features."
"To have internal stability, we needed to network the solution ourselves. Performance depends on the application. Performance could be the lack of IOPS, memory and CPU and configuration issues."
"In Thailand, there really isn't a cloud version of Nutanx available to us."
"It was a complex setup. It was very difficult for me."
"Integration with cloud products would be beneficial."
"I've found that using Oracle VM is like stepping back in time. It's not kept up with technology. The only reason anyone uses it is that they're afraid of Oracle's licensing. Oracle has a tremendously bad licensing approach."
"I think more Command-Line options for the product, for deployments."
"The pricing could be cheaper. It is very pricey."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"You need to have a model for documentation available for the users. Right now, if you have to search for some troubleshooting, you need to have Oracle login. Many personnel might not have that login. The reach, the availability of information to the end-user, is not there."
"Oracle VM should be more feature-rich."
