We performed a comparison between Hyper-V and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Proxmox, VMware, Microsoft and others in Server Virtualization Software."It is good for small installations."
"Hyper-V provided freedom to spin up development and test environments. As projects were created, an environment could be created and applied."
"Hyper-V's technical support is good - they're responsive and sort cases based on criticality and category, so they get dealt with quickly and by the correct team."
"The implementation process is simple."
"The most valuable feature is being able to do checkpoints then roll back to the checkpoint because that's what we need to test the software. We're testing the installation and then we roll it back and retest it."
"The initial setup of Hyper-V is far easier than VMware."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the storage virtualization."
"II prefer customers to use Hyper-V because Hyper-V is mostly integrated with Microsoft solutions."
"One of the most valuable features is that it can be applied at any scale."
"Being able to upgrade our entire cluster with the click of a button during business hours with zero downtime has made managing our infrastructure so easy."
"It has solid performance and provides data locality."
"I definitely find the reduced power consumption very valuable."
"It is a good solution and it is easy to work on their platform."
"I have found the solution to be stable."
"Hyper-convergence is the most valuable feature for me as it allows me to scale the hardware according to project requirements."
"The ease of deployment is very good."
"Hyper-V isn't a lightweight solution like VMware. Management could be more straightforward. Even as far as disk management tools are concerned, it would be better if that could be made simpler. The same applies to performance."
"I also use VMware which I find to be more scalable and stable overall."
"The solution should improve its native integration with other public cloud solutions."
"Traditional architecture, such as converged infrastructure, should be done away with"
"The live migration feature needs improvement."
"Improvements could be made to the configuration of the solution."
"The only negative thing I heard was that the baseline price is very, very attractive relative to VMware, however, the vCenter counterpart, the thing that brings it all together, is quite pricey."
"There is a hard limitation of 20 gigs per file with Dropbox, so you've got to overcome that by chunking the zip files into something smaller and manageable."
"The One-Click Upgrade process could/should offer the ability to integrate with 3rd party drivers. For example, we use NVIDIA Grid graphics cards. It would be amazing if, during the One-Click Upgrade process, we could "slipstream" additional VIB drivers for ESXi into the upgrade process."
"I would like better integration of XenServer into the AOS and Prism Central."
"Some clients find the solution's cost to be too high."
"AHV is a great hypervisor but still limited compared to VMware. AHV is the one product they must improve."
"Nutanix now supports four hypervisors but they are not all at feature parity."
"The reporting feature isn't very good."
"We have a team that does the implementation of the solution for our customers, it is better to have professionals handle the process."
"The file services that they also provide need some more features, like on the Windows file server."
