Pros
"The solution is stable and extremely easy to calibrate.""Nutanix Unified Storage is a simple, user-friendly, and stable solution.""The life cycle managers of the PCMs are very impressive, and I like them.

A life cycle manager helps to consolidate different vendors.""They have well-documented best practices and the interface is good.""Currently, the most valuable aspect of our Nutanix implementation is its file storage functionality.""The initial setup is pretty straightforward. With a few clicks, you can stand up your storage. It reduces the overall life cycle of deployment within the ecosystem.""The scalability, ease of use, and technical support are the most valuable features of Nutanix Unified Storage.""The reliability and availability are the most valuable features. Reliability is important because it can run my workloads. I need to be able to take advantage of the VMs that are executing on the storage. It has to be reliable.

Cons
"The management is pretty clunky, in my opinion. It could be a little bit better.""The GUI is not user-friendly for new users and has room for improvement.""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.""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.""The solution should keep adding new features to be competitive in the market.""The only thing I would say is missing for us it is FTP protocol compatibility.""Improving quota policies would be advantageous, particularly by offering the option to implement blocking instead of just issuing warnings.""The documentation on the support site needs to be improved."

"Having the ability to upload and download data using third-party apps such as Mega which can sync to the desktop would be excellent.""The solution’s user reporting could be improved.""Setting up users on the appliance should be improved.""The scalability could improve.""I don't have enough experience to understand the nuances of where they might improve.""The solution must allow the extension of the retention period.""The scalability could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The price of the license is expensive when comparing it to traditional storage."
  • "I find Nutanix Files Storage competitively priced, even its feature set. Its price is seven out of ten."
  • "If we compare the cost of Nutanix Objects Storage to other solutions such as VMware licenses, our current choice is Nutanix Objects Storage. This solution is more cost-effective. However, adding VMware to Nutanix would not be a cost-efficient decision, which is why we do not use it anymore."
  • "It is quite expensive otherwise as it comes with three-tier peer underlying hardware."
  • "For clients running Nutanix, the licensing cost for Files is a small add-on cost."
  • "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're not a Fortune 500 company, but we deal with Fortune 500 drug and energy companies. We have to play in that enterprise space if we're going to have enterprise customers. I'm very price-conscious, but I understand that if I want the best, I've got to pay the price."
  • "It's not the cheapest solution. It's in line with other solutions, but it offers features that the competitors don't have at any price point, especially with regard to analytics and ransomware prevention. No one else has any sort of object-based storage available. Nutanix Unified Storage is a lot more feature-rich. This is a situation where you get what you pay for."
  • "The product is pricey."

  • "I can only tell you that Wasabi costs about half what Amazon Web Services is charging. Now, the cost per month is a more difficult question. That varies depending on the capacity, the services you're employing, and that type of thing."
  • "Wasabi is a cost-effective solution for data storage, priced at just under six dollars per terabyte."
  • "The price of the solution is inexpensive."
  • "Wasabi has better pricing than Nutanix."
  • "Wasabi is a cheap solution, and users have to pay for a monthly license."
  • "The tool’s price is very reasonable."
