We performed a comparison between Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) and VMware Cloud Foundation based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Hybrid Cloud Computing Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are the RBAC, role-based access control, and the reporting. NCI also provides a single platform, a single pane with a dashboard, to manage the entire infrastructure. We have complete information about overall utilization, performance, and a forecast for our platform in that single pane."
"Karbon is a must-have as it drastically simplifies the deployment of Kubernetes."
"It's quite easy to scale, and you have the option to have distributed nodes everywhere around the world that work as one. You can also have a solution for small branch offices with only two nodes for redundancy, and that's good enough to start."
"The most valuable feature would be the ease of deployment. That is the most significant feature for me because I've worked with multiple vendors and it's always been very complicated to install the software and get everything running."
"The speed of the operations and of creation of VM is fantastic."
"The snapshots, cloning, and replication are all effective in helping to reduce downtime. It can replicate cluster data for disaster recovery and it provides high availability in case a node or a disk fails."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS is easy to use, it is a great platform."
"What I like the most are the high-availability and scalability."
"You can use VMware Cloud Foundation with hyper-converge."
"The stability is good."
"The most valuable features in VMware Cloud Foundation are life cycle management and ease of use."
"The most valuable aspect of VMware Cloud Foundation is you can manage everything from area."
"It is a scalable platform."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the disaster recovery software."
"VMware Cloud Foundation makes it easy to set up new environments. You get hosts in a pool, which you can build into a new cluster."
"The DSR feature is valuable because we have internal clustering, and these features are good for us."
"NCI's pricing is expensive."
"We had a few problems with the foundation machine that you can use to build your systems out. We've got it working now, but it should be improved."
"Compatible with third party hardware, but it's still very limited."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS could improve by having an auto-update feature. At this time I have to update each system manually. However, I bought the standard license and I did not buy the maximum license they have available. There could be a certain license that does the updates automatically."
"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."
"I think some of the tasks that must be done using CLI could be added to the web interface."
"In Thailand, there really isn't a cloud version of Nutanx available to us."
"Nutanix can be a bit complex to understand."
"In the early adoption of VMware Cloud Foundation, we have seen minor problems. For example, in our Federation, I see the single pane of glass where we need to manage everything, which is good. However, internally, we have a Kafka database that is distributed by the database used by the SDDC manager. During the distribution and synchronization, there is some issue and we need to stop the process."
"They should provide integration with Azure VMware Solution."
"The price could be better. VMware Cloud Foundation is overpriced, but I think we get what we pay for. It would be better if it were cheaper because it would be easier to go to customers and get them to buy it. We'd get more projects, and that would be great."
"We would like the ability to write to both sites at the same time, in a synchronous fashion."
"They need to offer more support for Mac."
"The documentation could be easier to read"
"The platform needs improvement in terms of troubleshooting."
"The deployment is clumsy and complex. There are too many things that need to be done in order to deploy."
