Find out what your peers are saying about Proxmox, VMware, Microsoft and others in Server Virtualization Software."The solution's security is its most valuable aspect."
"Citrix Hypervisor does a great job overall, such as the virtualization of the host. It's very easy to manage the virtual machine, to create, and configure high availability."
"We find there are good central maintenance and central management panels."
"The price is the solution's most valuable feature."
"This is a good product for virtualization and it is easy to use."
"The solution is extremely user friendly."
"The onboarding process is pretty straightforward."
"Citrix is easy to use and is stable."
"The solution is very stable. We haven't had any issues."
"One-Click Upgrade and Foundation is the most valuable feature. One-Click Upgrade makes upgrades and LCM a breeze. Prior to Nutanix One-Click Upgrade, upgrades and LCM were overly cumbersome and time-consuming. Foundation provides an easy, yet very structured, approach to cluster modification (adding or removing nodes)."
"The scalability is great."
"The technology of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is the most valuable feature. You don't need multiple screens to manage."
"It allows us to have a cloud-based ecosystem."
"Simplified management: It provides us more time to work on other tasks."
"We like that the size of the box is 1U or 2U only, and all the servers are fit into that box. The ease of operation is there. All the servers and the SAN storage are inside the box."
"One of the most valuable features that can be found, is the inclusion of a hypervisor for free."
"It can be useful to have a web management program because we have to install our client-server. We have to properly manage the host, if we had administration tools through a web interface it would be a benefit."
"The solution should be more flexible and allow for greater customization."
"The self-service user portal needs to be more granular and be more customizable."
"It needs to have a more robust backup solution."
"The product could be faster and licensing options could be improved."
"The solution is too expensive and people are kind of moving away from Citrix. It's starting to become a problem. It is a primary reason that while we are rebuilding we're going to seek out open-source solutions."
"Citrix is not investing in the virtual surroundings."
"Live migration is something that can be improved."
"In a hybrid cloud setup, we should be able to port our floors from on-premises to the public cloud and from the public cloud to on-premises."
"They need to improve the look and feel of the interface. The functionality is fine, but the appearance could be better."
"The cost of the solution is too expensive. There are other options, such as VMware, that are offered for less money. In Latin America, it seems to be overpriced for the market."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure's cloud platform management software could be improved so that I can manage my load between the cloud and on-premises."
"AHV is a great hypervisor but still limited compared to VMware. AHV is the one product they must improve."
"There are other services that Nutanix has that could be improved, but I'm not very familiar with the other services of Nutanix, such as Era and Flow. However, they seem a bit hard for us to implement and integrate with the Nutanix Acropolis AOS and other Nutanix tools. We would not dare to implement those other Nutanix solutions into Nutanix Acropolis AOS right now. The implementation of that tool could be the problem, I am a bit hesitant to implement the other tools into Nutanix Acropolis AOS."
"I would have liked it if Nutanix were a hardware as well as a software platform."
"There is a need is to be able to consume Nutanix storage from outside the cluster for other, non-Nutanix workloads."
