Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It has wizards that are very helpful in the installation, and it handles automation as well as virtualization once deployed.""The solution allows quick setting up of new development environments and ensures the use of the storage more efficiently. It manages to create new clients to be utilized for development or reporting.""We use the solution to save costs and simplify operations.""The patching is the most valuable feature. We spent a lot of time and effort on the patching of our SQL instances after hours. With Nutanix Era, you can schedule and automate them during your normal operational hours (during the day). You schedule all the patching, then everything happens automatically with minor tickets from the engineer. So, our patching, which took four hours, went down to an hour for the engineer. This is much better for us from a return on investment perspective.""Overall, the solution is very good. It's easy to use and simple to handle many actions, such as VM cloning, testing, and prediction.""There are a lot of options for working with the database.""It is also a single platform, all in one place, and that is a reason we went for this solution. Earlier, we had multiple platforms, the database and the OS, but this is a single platform that helps us with what we are doing.""The most valuable feature is its robust infrastructure management tools."

"The solution can scale.""The product's feature of data transaction works fast.""Simple and straightforward admin portals: Made it easy for users and worked out excellently for our requirements""Scalability is simple because it's an MPP database. If you need more processing power or you need more storage, you just add a few more nodes in the cluster. It works on common commodity hardware. You can use any type of server. You don't need to have proprietary hardware. It's fairly flexible.""The security is great.""The most valuable feature for us is horizontal scaling.""The solution improved our site reliability.""It can be configured to be a very fast message broker. I like the stability, the built-in admin tools and plugin architecture."

Cons
"The solution could improve by providing more support for more vendors.""It would be helpful if we could patch Windows operating systems with the solution.""If there were data integration services included with the platform then it would be interesting, and it would help us a lot.""This solution could be improved by integrating with more database providers.""The graphical user interfaces could be much more user-friendly. They are already user-friendly, but they could be simpler so that we do not need L3 staff to handle them. If they were simpler, we could also have some command center or L1/L1.5 associates do some housekeeping activities on it.""The solution should provide more integration with more databases.""The solution needs to improve compatibility with other back-ups and products.""We are also overwhelmed with the quality of technical support associated with the product."

More Nutanix Database Service Cons →

"I’d like this dashboard to use web sockets, so it would actually be in real time. It would slightly increase debugging, etc.""VMware RabbitMQ's configuration process could be easier to understand.""Extra filters would be helpful.""The support feature could benefit from some improvement in terms of accessibility and responsiveness.""RabbitMQ is clearly better supported on Linux than it is on Windows. There are idiosyncrasies in the Windows version that are not there on Linux.""It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link).""If you have a user consuming a huge load of resources, it takes down the entire system.""One of the disadvantages, not a disadvantage with the product itself, but overall, is the expertise in the marketplace. It's not easy to find a Greenplum administrator in the market, compared to other products such as Oracle."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The licensed-based pricing is confusing and too high."
  • "Era is quite expensive. The thing that will be a showstopper for them in the long run is if you look at it from a technical perspective on what it provides and weigh it up against consolidation of multiple other software suites."
  • "Licensing costs will be the main scalability problem."
  • "It's priced fairly... It's a good value. When you go looking for something from Oracle that automates things and makes your life easier, it's always going to be a minimum of $500,000. Era's nothing like that."
  • "There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
  • "This solution is reasonably priced."
  • "Not everyone can afford it. It's a bit expensive, so the price has to be improved."
  • "The pricing is competitive."

  • "The pricing is okay."
  • "It is the best product with best fit for price/performance customer objectives."
  • "Pricing is good compared to other products. It's fine."
  • "This is an open source solution."
  • "We are using the open-source version of this solution."
  • "are using the open-source version, which can be used free of cost."
  • "The pricing for RabbitMQ is reasonable. It is worth the cost."
  • "On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."
