We performed a comparison between Nutanix Unified Storage and Red Hat Ceph Storage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Software Defined Storage (SDS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."They have well-documented best practices and the interface is good."
"The solution is simple and robust."
"The Nutanix block files are the most valuable feature."
"Nutanix Volumes is a perfectly stable product."
"Nutanix Unified Storage is a simple, user-friendly, and stable solution."
"It is a highly scalable solution."
"The solution is stable and extremely easy to calibrate."
"The most valuable features of Nutanix Unified Storage are the unified dashboard and the ease of administration."
"Without any extra costs, I was able to provide a redundant environment."
"radosgw and librados provide a simple integration with clone, snapshots, and other functions that aid in data integrity."
"Ceph has simplified my storage integration. I no longer need two or three storage systems, as Ceph can support all my storage needs. I no longer need OpenStack Swift for REST object storage access, I no longer need NFS or GlusterFS for filesystem sharing, and most importantly, I no longer need LVM or DRBD for my virtual machines in OpenStack."
"Most valuable features include replication and compression."
"We have not encountered any stability issues for the product."
"Red Hat Ceph Storage is a reliable solution, it works well."
"It has helped to save money and scale the storage without limits."
"We have some legacy servers that can be associated with this structure. With Ceph, we can rearrange these machines and reuse our investment."
"One thing I'd appreciate is having a desktop application similar to what VMware offered."
"While they are good and they do work, some of the snapshotting and tiering features are not as simple to set up as they could be."
"Allowing the use of the Gflag compromises the integrity of the Nutanix system and its established standards."
"If they can add an integrated DLP feature, it would be great."
"Another aspect that needs improvement is continuous protection against security threats such as ransomware and potential data leakage."
"The feature request I have is for the consistent improvement of how user account permissions are assigned in Nutanix Unified Storage."
"We have had to deal with some infrastructure and general cluster issues but these issues don't impact storage."
"From a management side, the one thing I would prefer is if it were a bit less expensive for smaller enterprises. It's a bit costly. If they provided flexible modules where you could pick and choose features, and only pay for what you use, that would be an improvement."
"Rebalancing and recovery are a bit slow."
"It needs a better UI for easier installation and management."
"We have encountered slight integration issues."
"Some documentation is very hard to find."
"Routing around slow hardware."
"The management features are pretty good, but they still have room for improvement."
"The product lacks RDMA support for inter-OSD communication."
"Ceph does not deal very well with, or takes a long time to recover from, certain kinds of network failures and individual storage node failures."
