We use Nutanix Cloud Manager to consolidate and manage our Azure and AWS platforms, as well as our VMware server virtualization process.

We looked for a cost and security governance solution that is self-service and does not require any coding. Nutanix Cloud Manager is that solution.

RunBook has had a positive impact on reducing manual intervention, which has been very helpful. We looked for a solution that offered a single pane of glass, ease of use, and self-service orchestration without requiring a lot of coding. I think this really helps users get the policies in place so they don't have to worry. We just need to put in the initial effort, and then we can be hands-off.

The speed of outcomes we received using NCM's low code automation is good. We implemented separate network segmentation for all functions, including our DCS, corporate, and team control.

Our organization values speed and efficiency. We want to be able to upgrade our systems and processes quickly and safely, and we need to ensure that our IT and cloud applications always run smoothly. To do this, we need to have a good understanding of the costs and risks associated with these upgrades, as well as the ability to forecast and manage incidents. We also need to make sure that our systems are compliant with all security regulations, and that our employees have the ability to self-service their IT needs.

As a senior project manager, I am responsible for monthly budgeting and forecasting. The main aspect of this is cost, but proper forecasting is also essential to keep our company running smoothly. We have a policy of accepting variances of up to ten percent, so it is important to have a good management tool that can accurately predict costs. That is why we evaluated different management tools and ultimately chose NCM. NCM helped us to improve our forecasting accuracy, which saved us money and allowed us to better manage our resources.

It is important for NCM to be able to manage both Nutanix and VMware infrastructures because it provides a single pane of glass for management. This simplifies management and reporting.

Our IT team can focus on other tasks thanks to the playbooks. Once we set up the runbooks, we can relax until there is an additional instance of configuration on AWS or Azure.

NCM saved our organization approximately 50 percent of our employees' daily time. This is due to two reasons: One, we no longer need to worry about topologies and self-service orchestration setup, as NCM handles these tasks for us. Two, NCM provides a single pane of glass for all of our data, so we no longer have to spend time searching for different dashboards. This saves time on reporting as well, as we can now find all of the information we need in one place.

We have a multi-cloud and multi-virtualization environment. In this environment, we have many instances running on different platforms, including on-premises and cloud-based platforms. To ensure accuracy, we need a tool that can provide us with ease of use on a daily basis. A single pane of glass, such as NCM, helps us address our automation needs.

Nutanix Cloud Manager's most valuable feature is its self-service capabilities. We have a large VMware footprint, and we are slowly and gradually moving to Azure and AWS. The self-service capabilities allow us to orchestrate our deployments without writing code, and they also use artificial intelligence to improve our security posture. This is a major benefit for us, as security is our top priority.

NCM's pricing structure is confusing and difficult to understand. The company frequently changes its prices, and it is not clear how the subscription-based model works. This could be improved by making the pricing structure more transparent and easier to understand.

I have been using Nutanix Cloud Manager for just over one year.

The technical support is good. When I called, I was able to speak to a real person, not a robot. My problems were resolved quickly, within hours, not days. I am very satisfied with the support I received.

We previously used Azure Cost Management, but we switched to Nutanix Cloud Manager because it provides visibility into Nutanix, VMware, Azure, and AWS on a single dashboard. Azure Cost Management only supports Microsoft products.

We evaluated Morpheus, Azure Cost Management, Nutanix Cloud Manager, and AWS Cost Management. Our company policy is to evaluate multiple options before reaching a decision.

I give Nutanix Cloud Manager an eight out of ten.
