Find out what your peers are saying about Proxmox, VMware, Microsoft and others in Server Virtualization Software."The most valuable feature of the solution is the built-in data protection, that helps with backup in a matter of minutes."
"You don't need any other instruments for control, AHV. You only need to look at the prism to control all infrastructure."
"Nutanix AHV Virtualization has good performance and can be used for backup and disaster."
"Nutanix AHV virtualization requires little disk size for a huge number of servers. We can do everything from a single dashboard, monitoring performance, and single-task boxes."
"Nutanix's customer support is good, one of its biggest selling points."
"The solution is stable."
"Nutanix AHV works really well. It's much easier to administer and manage than VMware. Since we're not a large IT department within the finance sector, our team is relatively small. We don't have a huge team of IT professionals to manage all the other systems."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that you don't need to pay for it, it's free, as opposed to paying for a VMware license."
"It is 100% stable. It's the most stable infrastructure that we have."
"Data locality provides super-fast data access and ultra-low latency."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the solution's ease of upgrading."
"The ease of deployment is very good."
"Technical support is okay."
"It's much easier and faster even when you want to create a server from a template or clone."
"The solution is well integrated with other vendors."
"When we need to share, publish, or encrypt something, we still need to perform it using the command line."
"The integration capabilities of Nutanix AHV Virtualization is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"Lacks integration with the cloud or other solutions."
"To face no complications in our company, we had to switch off virtual machines one after the other before heading to Nutanix platform and going to edge services to switch off and turn off everything, making it a challenging process for me."
"It worked well in the beginning but after using it for some time, we found some limitations in terms of compatibility with other software."
"I would like to see better decompression or degrouping of the VMs so that we can use a single number of SQLs with two servers. We don't need a huge number of DXSPs."
"There are some issues with the interface and integration."
"The product must provide geo clusters."
"The file services that they also provide need some more features, like on the Windows file server."
"The look and feel of the web GUI of this system needs improvement, when compared to other systems. Its hardware integration also needs improvement."
"Storage utilization and optimization should be better."
"The product needs improvement in the areas of SAN attachment for high capacity and high I/O profile workloads."
"It does not have good backup feature tools, like having templates or being able to back up every two or three days."
"The only problem is that not many operating systems are supported on the AOS hypervisor. They need to probably increase the support on multiple operating systems. As of now, a very limited number of operating systems and patch levels are supported on AOS."
"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 enjoy an advanced mode where experienced users can leverage their knowledge to do advanced things currently only allowed using the command line tools on the CVM."
