We performed a comparison between Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) and VMware Cloud Foundation based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Hybrid Cloud Computing Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable features are simple management and one-click upgrades."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is it has centralized management."
"We are suggesting Nutanix to the management because of scalability and time efficiency."
"Nutanix has the best virtual desktop infrastructure."
"It has a single pane of glass and you don't have to jump around various toolsets."
"The architecture of Nutanix is the best, and the virtualization we get, out of the box, is an advantage. Also, dedupe and compression are done natively, inside the platform, so there are no additional licenses. That adds value to it."
"You can be sure that whatever you patch is already compatible with the current firmware and the current version of the Acropolis that you're using."
"The ability to auto-scale is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable aspect of VMware Cloud Foundation is you can manage everything from area."
"The initial setup is straightforward and easy."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of migrating from on-premises infrastructure when transitioning away from older systems."
"I like that VMware Cloud Foundation reduces both the installation and setup time from a matter of weeks to hours."
"The mission aspect of the solution is the most valuable feature."
"The stability is good."
"The most valuable features in VMware Cloud Foundation are life cycle management and ease of use."
"Benchmark testing indicated that workloads did slightly better on our Vblock by a few percentage"
"The compatibility and integration of Nutanix Acropolis AOS could be improved. For example, we have a WAF application firewall and it does not work on this solution. Not all the OS's run on AOS. You need to have a newer version of an operating system if you want Nutanix to perfectly run all the different options."
"The solution doesn't support older systems, which can be a problem for some organizations who wish to implement it. It became a problem for us due to the fact that some of our systems are older."
"Storage utilization and optimization should be better."
"One of the very important things that I would like to see in Nutanix, but I'm not sure if it's in the roadmap or not, is to have some kind of caching optimization at remote sites, to build active-active data centers more easily."
"I believe that improvements could be made in regards to the DR in addition to deduplication and integration with others platforms. They also do not offer opportunities for network virtualization so it would be nice to see that in the future."
"The latency needs improvement"
"With some projects that we are deploying, there are errors that arise when adding nodes."
"I would like to be able to connect the APIs."
"The pricing could be a bit less expensive."
"They need to offer more support for Mac."
"The tool's price tag is high."
"We would like the ability to write to both sites at the same time, in a synchronous fashion."
"The deployment is clumsy and complex. There are too many things that need to be done in order to deploy."
"VMware Cloud Foundation could be more flexible in terms of supporting other integration and components."
"They should provide integration with Azure VMware Solution."
