"The solution is easy to use."
"My client had zero data loss while using the solution for backups and file security."
"It is a scalable product since it is a cloud solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It's a stable product."
"I like that we can copy and download data using Azure. It's not just for file storage; we can also use it for large data sets or to host static web applications."
"The immutable storage features are valuable."
"First of all, the solution is very secure. Secondly, the solution is very fast. It is reliable and available all the time."
"The most important point is the simplicity of the API integration. We can leverage the API integrations and connect our hybrid-cloud network environment with Nutanix's cloud storage."
"The management interface is great and you have handy access to several details about your file shares."
"The solution is very easy to manage."
"We have been able to save local disk space by using Data Lens. We upload 18 GB to the cloud and are able to save 20% to 25%."
"Nutanix has excellent product documentation available on their portals, written in simple, easy-to-understand language."
"Unified Storage's centralized management features enable us to accomplish whatever we want in terms of operations and migrations."
"What I like most about Nutanix Files Storage is the way it makes copies of the data. The solution also has high availability, which is excellent. Another valuable feature of Nutanix Files Storage is self-service, so users won't have to depend on the IT team much."
"What I found most valuable in Nutanix Files Storage is its high availability and ability to scale out with many VMs."
"It would be good if they added some features that make the solution easier to access for everyone."
"The product name keeps changing. It can be confusing when product names change frequently, especially with Microsoft. Sometimes, if you refer to a product by a certain name last year, it might have a different name six months later."
"There is room for improvement in helping customers understand and integrate Azure File Storage into their operations."
"I have had issues migrating my data to another subscription."
"The product must provide better security functions."
"Considering the enterprise licensing required for the solution, the cost of the solution is an area where the product needs improvement."
"I have used the file storage explorer in multiple systems, and it seems a bit cumbersome and not very efficient, particularly with authentication. It can be tricky to set it up."
"It would be helpful if we could remove data that we don't frequently access to reduce the cost of the storage."
"The GUI is not user-friendly for new users and has room for improvement."
"Customer service is more difficult to call and they do not responding as much as, for example, DataCore. It's not the same level of satisfaction compared to DataCore. Responses could be faster."
"The graphical user interface could provide more detail. It would be nice if we could click on the service and get some expanded definitions of them. When hiring new people, it's difficult to teach them how everything works, but if they can access everything, they can teach themselves."
"We have some problems with Nutanix Unified Storage's support because they asked us to change our hardware."
"If they can add an integrated DLP feature, it would be great."
"The only thing I would say is missing for us it is FTP protocol compatibility."
"With all of the Nutanix equipment, the licensing is expensive. We operate in the enterprise space, but we're a midsized company. At times, the price tag is a little bit shocking for a company with only 35 employees."
"We have issues with software updates occasionally."
