Enables us to grow at the speed of business and be ready for whatever is coming

What I admire most about Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) is its scalability; that option that everybody seems to eventually go to is cloud, and we're ready for that when we decide. This scalability feature has improved my company because we can grow at the speed of business, and that's very important. We're not limited by the hardware that we have. We allow ourselves room for growth, and we can literally grow from today to tomorrow to ensure that we're handling our growth. The scalability is critical for us, especially in the banking industry, where we just get bigger every year.

Cloud access has improved reporting and sales operations across global locations

I cannot say anything about what areas of SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud could be improved or enhanced because so far, we are happy with this implementation. We are not facing any problem, or I cannot say that this can be improved. Although SAP keeps improving themselves day by day, we cannot say that SAP needs to improve anything. One thing which we face, not as a problem, is the pricing. SAP pricing is a bit higher day by day. Before, it was not too much higher, but I don't know why they are increasing their price. They should see this thing, so other customers, such as SMBs customers or small and mid-sized customers, can also avail this thing. Otherwise, we don't have any problem. First, there is the limitation. If you are a SAP user, you don't feel any problem with the limitation because if you know how to use the product, you can easily implement this thing. Otherwise, if you don't know the business process or how to integrate and implement, it could be a problem. We have a limitation, but we developed some add-ons for this. So we fulfilled these requirements.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The solution's most valuable feature is its quick configuration and installation."

"Nutanix Clusters are used for redundancy and to protect our core machines from failures."

"The feature I probably appreciate the most about Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) is its scalability—how quickly I can deploy more nodes on a cluster and remove nodes."

"In terms of dealing with our business-critical workloads, Nutanix is a highly scalable, highly resilient, and very high-performing solution."

"The features I appreciate most about Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) are that we don't need to manage the hardware to start up with, and it is being managed by Microsoft currently, so that is hands-off."

"Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) definitely reduced our total cost of ownership."

"Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) scales with the needs of my company."

"Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) is a great product and it's a good option for companies that want to be both in the cloud and have a physical data center."

More Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) pros

"We have a wide range of use cases for SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud. These include production planning, materials management, sales management, treasury, finance, appliance maintenance, real estate, and warehouse management."

"Ensuring data integrity across finance, supply chain, and other critical areas is paramount for real-time decision-making. Access to accurate and up-to-date information is essential for data protection. While the digital solution primarily serves basic maintenance, the ability to handle these core aspects efficiently is invaluable for your needs."

"The BTP module is important for digital transformations."

"This solution is as good as any other S/4HANA SAP solution, and the continuous support we get is very valuable."

"It has significantly streamlined our operations."

"The solution is online and provides a real-time information feature, which makes a huge difference to the business, especially in reviews and meetings."

"If a customer is looking for the latest innovations or products from SAP this solution is perfect for them."

More SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud pros

Cons

"I'd like more flexible options to get in and out of migration modes."

"The speed of the answers could be improved in customer service and support."

"My impression of Nutanix's license portability is that I wish it had an easier transition from one license to license. I know in the last three to four years, the model has changed three times, making it harder for me to understand the transition from one license model to the next and what that means for me."

"I don't have the expertise to build a hybrid cloud. We are starting to build one and haven't tried that part yet. I want to try because that is the most critical part for us. I want to see what, if anything, could be improved. The product is fantastic locally. Now, I want to try it in the cloud. My problem is not in the infrastructure; it is in the application, a different thing."

"Having compatible feature sets between Azure and AWS would go a long way to improving the overall NC2 experience."

"The reporting has room for improvement."

"The snapshots have room for improvement."

"The biggest weakness with Clusters at this point is that the adoption rate is low because customers don't know enough about it."

More Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) cons

"Our data centers are in Europe and come under GDPR regulations, and this doesn't apply to the Middle East yet. It causes a lot of confusion."

"SAP support isn't on par with products like Microsoft Azure or AWS. It's nowhere close to the competitors."

"Customization is an area of concern in SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, where improvements are required."

"There are a lot of dependencies on SAP. A customer doesn't have much flexibility to go and update the systems as they wish."

"I would rate the stability a four out of ten. It's an area that could use improvement"

"The licensing model for SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud has changed, and it is not entirely clear for final customers. Instead of named users, they now have to calculate FUEs."

"The product must provide more details of the errors."

"The SAP products are complicated to deploy anywhere."

More SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's licensing can be very pricey."

"I am working on one configuration that is priced at $50,000 USD, whereas another one that I'm working on is estimated to cost $250,000 USD."

"I'm not familiar with the contracts, but I thought the process was pretty seamless. Licensing for the Nutanix part was the same as licensing something on-prem, and since it runs on bare metal EC2, there was no new process we had to go through—it fits into our existing procurement processes nicely. I appreciate Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2)'s license portability."

"The licensing model of Nutanix is complex."

"The licensing portability can be very interesting. At the moment, I am working with Nutanix Appliances with the AHV as a hypervisor. I did not have a chance to ask for portability between platforms, but it will be good if you can have portability between multiple types of platforms."

"There are positives and negatives to licensing. It all makes sense now, but it took a while. When the licenses first changed, it was a bit confusing."

"The solution has been more costly at this point. We do not see any cost savings."

"I feel that the prices could be improved, but the truth is that I am very happy. The license price keeps increasing, but I am confident that it is much more reasonable than other brands."

More Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) pricing and cost advice

"If you choose the minimum, it will probably cost around $1,000 USD per month if you take a contract for a year or two."

"I rate the product's price a five out of ten."

"The price is on little bit higher. For SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, we see roughly five crores per annum."

"SAP may not be the most cost-effective option, but it does offer a comprehensive set of tools and features. When you have the right information, structure, and dashboard in place, it can provide excellent value. Additionally, competition with Oracle might be a factor to consider."

"The price is expensive compared to the competition."

"Our pricing is based on a yearly contract."

"The solution could be less expensive."

"It's very, very expensive."
