We performed a comparison between Nutanix Prism and SolarWinds NPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Virtualization Management Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."There are so many valuable features but Nutanix Flow for microsegmentation of the network, and the Life Cycle Manager for dating hardware and software are among the most important for us."
"Prism provides us with insights and the ability to access all the sub-components of Nutanix's hyperconverged platform."
"The ability to do snapshots is fantastic. It does a great job. Not only do snapshots work great, but you can take a snapshot on the fly. The snapshot takes a second to complete. You can then make a change and test it out to see if it works. If you have any problem, just roll it right back."
"It can combine computing, storage and networks in a single location."
"What I like the most are the self-healing and the ability to see everything at a glance, from metrics to the resiliency status of the hardware. As soon as you log in, that's what you see."
"Resource monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"Nutanix Prism is very simple to use compared to other products. I have tried a number of tools, including VMware ESXi. Nutanix Prism is much simpler to use and we feel data transfers in it are very fast."
"The biggest plus that I want to commend them for is definitely their one-click update/upgrade feature. I use Prism for that and it's so amazing. That, by itself, is a selling point."
"The product covers our needs for the basic care and feeding of servers, whether they are physical or virtual."
"SolarWinds NPM is a scalable solution since it can handle a huge number of users."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"SolarWinds NPM has a colorful UI and many easy-to-use features. It does not need to be configured as much and is also easy to install."
"The most important feature is reporting. The reports that are generated are useful and they save a lot of time with respect to monitoring."
"With just three modules, I can monitor server performance (whether it’s a VM, in the cloud, or an on-premises server."
"Technical support has always been great. They are very responsive. We've been satisfied with their level of support."
"The three clusters we have at our remote offices are just one-node clusters. If there were an easier way to upgrade items such as the BIOS, SATA drives, the BMC, et cetera, on those, that would be helpful."
"There is a bug with the HTML5 interface."
"Nutanix Prism needs more flexibility commercially and more flexibility with their licensing. Currently they're very fixed on their licensing model, for example, it's based on terabyte calculation."
"The cost is a negative aspect."
"I would like to see the capability to use FC SAN storage."
"On the technical side, although you don't need a shutdown to upgrade Nutanix, for downgrading you do. If it were possible that when downgrading CPU or memory you didn't have to reboot the VM, that would be very helpful for us."
"I think that the Nutanix Prism Pro the terms it uses, it's not very user-friendly."
"The main area where an improvement could be made would be the pricing."
"A feature I would ask for is for them to have this solution available for Linux systems instead of Windows."
"There should be a little bit more integration in some of the other tooling and utilizing the APIs of devices or tools could be a little bit better."
"The integration with video apps could be better."
"I would like to see integration with antivirus or other security endpoint solutions."
"Scalability is a bit tricky because it requires more gateways in order to get the performance you may need. It also requires a lot of licensing."
"Being able to detect devices that are trying to connect wirelessly would make using this solution much easier."
"Fortigate firewalls are one example of a product that we are unable to monitor properly via SolarWinds NPM."
"Currently lacks integration with SMS services."
