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."The solution is stable and extremely easy to calibrate."
"The solution is easy to use, share, and manage."
"We can utilize mixed storage block-sized objects and combine various databases within a unified interface."
"Nutanix Unified Storage is easy to use. New employees are able to come up to speed fairly quickly with regard to the day-to-day administration processes."
"What I found to be the most valuable features were better performance and uptime."
"Nutanix Objects is reliable."
"The Nutanix block files are the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features are the interface and support."
"I like the distributed and self-healing nature of the product."
"We use the solution for cloud storage."
"It's a very performance-intensive, brilliant storage system, and I always recommend it to customers based on its benefits, performance, and scalability."
"We are using Ceph internal inexpensive disk and data redundancy without spending extra money on external storage."
"It has helped to save money and scale the storage without limits."
"Most of the features are beneficial and one does not stand out above the rest."
"The community support is very good."
"The configuration of the solution and the user interface are both quite good."
"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."
"Lowering the price would improve this product."
"Managing other storage infrastructure on Nutanix Files Storage is an area for improvement. In particular, I want to add other forms of storage from different vendors not currently in Nutanix Files Storage, to the file server, for better management."
"It is challenging to configure access control settings."
"The graphical user interfaces could benefit from more attention to detail."
"One thing I'd appreciate is having a desktop application similar to what VMware offered."
"I would like to see the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies. That could definitely be a major breakthrough in providing a unified, seamless experience for end-users. It could reduce costs as well as human effort."
"The interface is not logical. It should be a little simpler."
"An area for improvement would be that it's pretty difficult to manage synchronous replication over multiple regions."
"Routing around slow hardware."
"Geo-replication needs improvement. It is a new feature, and not well supported yet."
"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."
"I have encountered issues with stability when replication factor was not 3, which is the default and recommended value. Go below 3 and problems will arise."
"The storage capacity of the solution can be improved."
"If you use for any other solution like other Kubernetes solutions, it's not very suitable."
"We have encountered slight integration issues."
