Why do people always underestimate the new product, sure everybody is right to question Nutanix and as a very large company I can say we did look into it, ultimately we choose not to proceed as it only worked for us in smaller sites and then we already had everything in place with a collection of other products that did the job and were already in use.
It did not make sense to further look due to the huge discounts we get from other vendors and the processes already in place for management, reporting, alerting, capacity management etc
Having said all this if implemented correctly we did not see any concern or big holes in the product, does what it says it does.
Yes the sales pitch about 'instant' replication etc is all smoke and mirrors as all the data is pre-replicated but anybody can see though those miss-representations without even having to think.
I have never looked at CE but I am sure it probably a great product for home use at the right price
