Overall Satisfaction with Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure

had a big sprawl of vm's from original and acquired companies that needed to be consolidated to manage the infrastructure. worried about staff churn with tribal knowledge we wanted to standardize and be equipped to scale out when future mergers happened. We managed with the standard Hyper visor as a individual company but as we acquired more companies it became unmanageable and the cost savings with this made ROI sense.

Pros

  • single access point
  • utilized excising resources to maximize usage
  • train up is steep but once they get it it's a breeze

Cons

  • It could have been a for use but the initial integrations we hit a few bumps but that could be the consultant that were provided
  • Added staff to other areas as cross training allowed to have fewer dedicated folks for VM infrastructure
  • better resourcing of current hardware
It's not out of the box easy, but once you get the fundamentals the steep learning curve flattens out and the processes to get things done and how it works becomes very apparent. It's wrapping the slight change in workflow from prior VM management methods took time to unbox and apply the Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure way
The HPe solution we looked at was not as good, this was only introduced as one of the aquired companies used it and we. after we took over and looked under the hood, we felt that it was not a very ideal solution for use and that is what prompted use to abandon that infra and move to Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure

Do you think Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure's feature set?

Yes

Did Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure go as expected?

No

Would you buy Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure again?

Yes

On the pricier side of the scale but after it's all said and done the transformation was well worth it. We felt that the ROI was recouped as expected with better resourcing. Would love to have a staging environment as part of the overall setup but i get it, it's all related to a cost.
