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."The most valuable feature of Nutanix Database Service is the ability to manage multiple vendors."
"We use the solution to save costs and simplify operations."
"There are a lot of options for working with the database."
"It saves operation time and day-to-day tasks."
"This is a very useful solution for database management."
"What I like about this solution is that it's more reliable compared to other solutions."
"AI has been deployed within Nutanix. It's very easy to provision the machine within minutes of the application orders. They can hand those over and work along with the AI team to get the data available quickly for business analysis."
"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 solution improved our site reliability."
"The solution should provide more integration with more databases."
"The initial setup was a little tedious and complex. If they could make the setup slightly more user-friendly, then that would definitely be beneficial. If they could give a clear indication of what ports are required across the business and multiple VLANs, then your prep work can be done beforehand and before you do the actual installation. Because the documentation that was provided was not 100 percent accurate, so we had to do a lot of custom firewall rules after we deployed Nutanix Era."
"If there were data integration services included with the platform then it would be interesting, and it would help us a lot."
"The downside of this solution is that it's more expensive than its competitors."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"The solution needs to improve compatibility with other back-ups and products."
"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 patching should be a one-button function. Also, it works about 80 percent of the time, but 20 percent of the time it requires manual intervention. And sometimes, until you understand the technical underpinnings of that process, you can't fix it. I thought we would move past that. In the last version, they broke a big chunk of that for me, and that's why I'm waiting for the new release because they promised me it would fix the problem."
"The initial deployment was a little difficult."
