What do you like best about Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI)?

Easy 1-click upgrades of VMware ESXi (or Nutanix AHV) and their overarching AOS software.

Lots of compute and storage in a small footprint.

Having used HPE Simplivity in the past, Nutanix is much more mature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI)?

Don't get as much deduplication ratio as competitors as it doesn't rely on accelerator cards etc.

LCM (firmware) updates are not very optimised and often require manual intervention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having lots of sites with minimal rack space so having a separate SAN is not an option.

Off-site backups to another cluster are easy and built-in and we have replaced our legacy backup product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI)?

With NCI, you get Prism Central free of charge to manage multiple clusters. You can also migrate your NCI license from on-premise to the cloud or the other way around, meaning you can have a Hyper-converged infrastructure on-premise or on the cloud. Also, please note that you get 1TiB free of Nutanix Files/Objects, the same as on AOS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI)?

Previously, AOS (the licenses provided before NCI) came with your Nutanix hardware and are perpetual licenses. For NCI, the licenses are subscription-based, meaning you have to renew them after 3 or 5 years (depending on how many subscription years you purchase initially). But then again, you get the flexibility to migrate your workloads from on-premise to the cloud or vice-versa. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) solving and how is that benefiting you?

NCI is still a relatively better option than VMWare as it is still more cost-friendly with all the necessary features. NCI, and HCI, in effect, have helped eliminate datacenter footprints by saving rack space and consumes less electricity than your traditional datacenter infrastructure.

The platform may not be compatible with all hardware, software and network configurations. Limited customization options and may not fully meet the specific needs of some organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nutanix NCI helps us solve our problem of monitoring and maintaining hardware like servers, switches and storage. What I like about nutanix is they are in a single pane of glass. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI)?

I got a Nutanix Hybrid Cloud Scholarship from Udacity to work on cutting-edge cloud computing technology. The best thing I like about Nutanix is its technology is quite advanced compared to AWS, Google Cloud. The speed to deploy apps is relatively faster than any other provider. It is a cost-efficient platform that gives the best cloud computing services. It also provides one platform for any app and cloud to work on and also we can move any app or data between public and private cloud to have complete hybrid performance. It is highly efficient to use Nutanix AOS and implement its technology to deploy apps and data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI)?

Most of the features of Nutanix AOS are highly efficient and the best in the market, but it needs to improve on its User Interface, and the initial cost may be higher than other providers. I was not too fond of its one-click feature to understand more about each concept and understand it well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI):

It is highly recommended to use Nutanix AOS as it is easy to implement and provide various options and feature to make the work easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Nutanix AOS helped me understand more about cloud computing technology like Netflix and Amazon Prime are using cloud technology to store their high amount of data and run it smoothly on their Platform. I have used Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services to understand more about Cloud technology. Still, Nutanix has the edge over them in various ways like technology, Hybrid, Speed Deployment of Apps, Scalability, Availability, and Security. I gunienly recommend to use Nutanix AOS which had a edge over any other cloud service provider. It will be helpful to deploy app easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
