Find out in this report how the two Database Development and Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It saves operation time and day-to-day tasks."
"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 have an enterprise-level backup product that we're required to use, so we don't rely on Era's version. [But] it could be an awesome first-line backup. It's very elegant the way they designed it. It's quick and it doesn't take up nearly as much storage space as traditional backups. It would definitely help to save on tier-one storage."
"It has some very good features. It really works with multiple silos in terms of infrastructure, database updates, and migration. So many things are easy with Era."
"What I like about this solution is that it's more reliable compared to other solutions."
"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."
"It has wizards that are very helpful in the installation, and it handles automation as well as virtualization once deployed."
"This is a very useful solution for database management."
"The solution should provide more integration with more databases."
"I would like to see the SQL compatibility enhanced."
"Their support is helpful, but maybe they need more technical staff. Their response was slow once, but that was the only time it happened, so I'm not sure."
"We are also overwhelmed with the quality of technical support associated with the product."
"Patch management is an issue as it regularly causes stability problems."
"The updating of the database engine is something that can be improved. For example, assume that we are using PostgreSQL out of the box, and it is version 10. If we want to migrate to version 11, 12, or 13, then it is not very easy to do that using Nutanix Era."
"The solution needs to improve compatibility with other back-ups and products."
"If there were data integration services included with the platform then it would be interesting, and it would help us a lot."
"This solution struggled with multi-regional synchronization."
"It doesn't have any GUI-based monitoring tools."
