NDB is a fantastic tool and makes life easier. We are doing a POC at the moment and these are some of the things I have already shared with the Team.

Self Service Native Integration

The NDB Integration to self service lags behind latest releases and the recommendation from both sides is to just use either the python script equivalent. I find that a little disappointing in a product that is in the same company where each team (Self Service and NDB) can’t be in sync. 

It would be great to see a bit more cooperation between Nutanix product to ensure us as customers are not having to wait for periods of time to use the newer versions of products within self service or other products.

 

Golden Images + Network Requirements

This was a headache. I easily spent 100+ hours trying to get the golden images to work and was constantly running into weird sys-prep issue. But I think this was more due to our network configuration blocking things. NDBs does not work without the networking being correct from the get go. It would be nice to see NDB put some more controls in place within NDB, enabling us as customers to see and validate all networking requirements are met before spending 100+ hours troubleshooting why golden image issues are happening. (This experience alone did put me in a position of wondering if this product is worth implementing if golden images are going to constantly be an uphill battle)

Thx ​@jarrodl for your feedback.  I am not familiar with Self Service.  What are you using that for?  In regards to the golden image there is a lot of work being done on that front to make it more intuitive and simple.  We should be able to share more details on that early next year.
