"The solution is extremely stable."
"Ability to move your virtual machines from one host to another."
"I've found the following features to be the most valuable: user personalization layer, app layering, provisioning, and notification services for integration between different domains."
"The solution is extremely user friendly."
"The most valuable features are being able to host many virtual machines and being able to patch machines."
"The onboarding process is pretty straightforward."
"This solution allows the end users to clone, start, stop, or remotely control their VMs."
"The core function enables multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical server. This maximizes hardware utilization and efficiency."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix AHV Virtualization is the user-friendly environment. The integration, implementation, and training for the solution are good."
"Nutanix AHV Virtualization has good performance and can be used for backup and disaster."
"This product stands out for its user-friendly interface, intuitive design, and responsive UI. It offers AVH features comparable to Nutanix but at a more cost-effective price point."
"Nutanix AHV Virtualization is a private cloud platform offering integration with various public cloud providers. This integration allows for a multi-cloud approach. In my opinion, Nutanix AHV Virtualization's strength is its storage. It innovates and excels in the hyper-converged storage segment, making it the number one choice in this area."
"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"Nutanix is good for new implementations on the VM side. It's very good for disaster recovery and final storage."
"The initial setup of Nutanix AHV Virtualization is straightforward."
"The solution is stable."
"We'd like them to add more automation to the product."
"I think the technical support could be better."
"The interface has to be updated."
"Citrix Hypervisor is expensive if you get it as a stand-alone product, so this is one area for improvement. Its price could be cheaper. We also found other areas for improvement in Citrix Hypervisor, for example, we can't use SCIM provisioning, and there are limitations to the size of the HDD. Another area for improvement is the pass-through storage, in particular the removable storage, because that also has limitations where you can't connect to the drive if it is more than one TB."
"There's a learning curve, especially for those coming from a Microsoft background. Setting it up and managing it can introduce some complexity."
"The solution needs better backup facilities that are available for virtual machines to create servers on."
"Integration with other vendors and other applications could be improved."
"The self-service user portal needs to be more granular and be more customizable."
"The software based controller has high consumption. This could be improved."
"Lacks integration with the cloud or other solutions."
"Honestly, there's a lot to work on the product, especially for someone like me who has worked on VMware. VMware offers a significant level of customization when configuring virtual machines, and that level of detail is not as pronounced on Nutanix AHV Virtualization."
"The product must provide geo clusters."
"The technical support for this solution needs to be improved in terms of response time."
"VMware does tend to have more features than AHV. It's more of the leader in this space."
"The price of Nutanix AHV Virtualization could improve."
"Some companies do not support AHV."
