We performed a comparison between Azure Stack and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is easy to use, especially for individuals who are not familiar with coding and has security built-in."
"It's more reliable, secure, and easy to deploy. It's much more stable as a platform."
"It is probably the best solution out there."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"The solution's technical support is great since, in our company, we get answers to most of our questions, and most of our queries get resolved with the help of the documentation itself."
"Azure Stack is like a hybrid model with a CI/CD pipeline. The IaaS and PaaS model works well with a hybrid type of connectivity."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of deployment for services such as SSH, creating a web site, and Azure billing services to measure the consumption of resources."
"The tool has simplified our application development."
"In terms of scalability, adding a number of nodes, I find that it will not be any issues."
"The most valuable features of Nutanix Acropolis AOS are ease of management, hyper-convergence platform, and it has robust operations."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS is easy to use, integrates with other hardware configurations, and is simple to manage."
"Simplified management: It provides us more time to work on other tasks."
"In addition to the hyper-converged infrastructure, most of our clients are pleased with Acropolis' built-in replication in terms of the DR setup. Our clients also like Prism Central's advanced management and analytics, and many find Nutanix Flow and playbooks incredibly useful."
"The most valuable feature is Move, which allows you to migrate virtual machines from VM to AHV."
"A lot of features are there, but for us, on the server administration side, creating a clone of the VM is valuable because many times, we have to deploy security patches. For deploying these patches, it helps to have a clone so that if something goes wrong, we can discard that VM and put back the clone VM. That is a very cool feature."
"The scalability is great."
"There are limits to the bandwidth and sizing of the images."
"It should be improved in terms of integrations. It could be integrated more with external tools."
"It does not give you a complete, production-ready setup."
"I would like to see better support for containers."
"I would like to see the AI side come to one hundred percent in the near future."
"Azure Stack doesn't have all the services available in Microsoft Azure."
"The technical support team's response time needs improvement."
"If you look at the documentation set, there are rims and rims of it. You try to drive something from the console, and it's quite complex. It's not it's not easy and straightforward. You've gotta sit down and review it, look at the documentation, and work your way through it. It's not intuitive."
"The name of the solutions offered by Nutanix does not indicate what the tool does."
"In terms of the IT different categories, I would like for the governing sections to be able to use it in the IT department. If they can have something like a one view management portal or software similar to VMware that would be an added value."
"NCI's pricing is expensive."
"It's lacking in some features but overcompensating in others."
"I would like to see Acropolis add the ability to migrate VMs between storage containers. I don't know if they've added this in the latest versions, but I haven't seen it yet. It's mainly about AHV. When we use VMware, we can move between storage containers. In VMware, it's just like regular storage, and we can move it."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure's cloud platform management software could be improved so that I can manage my load between the cloud and on-premises."
"Nutanix can be a bit complex to understand."
"Nutanix now supports four hypervisors but they are not all at feature parity."
