"The most valuable features are ease of use, and it gets the job done in a straightforward manner."
"The organization has realized the benefits on smaller data center space, power, cooling, etc. apart from the benefit that the virtualization layer brings in."
"The installation was straightforward."
"We can perform maintenance on equipment during the day because we can live migrate all of the machines from one server to another."
"I appreciate its stability and user-friendly management interface."
"It's a very manageable product."
"The initial setup is not difficult at all. It is very easy."
"It is less expensive than VMware products. It is also a little bit more flexible, but it really comes down to price for us."
"The most valuable aspect of Nutanix is the performance of the storage, which is excellent. And controlling compute, storage, the network, and security all together in one box is very efficient for us. It gives us a single platform to manage our all infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is the one-click to update the firmware and software."
"The interface is very good. Before we used this solution, we had separate storage and switches, but with the hyper convert, it's all in one."
"The flexibility of this system is very good. It's also faster than others, and has skilled technical support who showed more initiative than a competitor, e.g. VMware."
"The solution remains stable across versions."
"Ease of deployment"
"The technology of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is the most valuable feature. You don't need multiple screens to manage."
"It would be nice if they had video acceleration, they got rid of that and VMware has video acceleration."
"Microsoft increased the price for this solution when adding the Storage Spaces Direct feature."
"The technical support is good but it could improve by being faster."
"It might make it easier to move VMs across Hotmail hosts. This application process make it a little bit easier."
"VMware has antivirus protection that covers the entire VM. If Microsoft could have something similar to this in Hyper-V, that would be great."
"Status and availability became an issue and need."
"If I want to create a cluster of around five to 10 physical servers Hyper-V does not get integrated with any kind of virtual sense, such as vSense."
"The management of Hyper-V could improve, there is a lot to improve in that area."
"The pricing model for software and hardware subscription renewals can be improved."
"It does not have good backup feature tools, like having templates or being able to back up every two or three days."
"The product could be improved with more security. The product needs a bit more experience in the market. I think you don't have the possibility to add other hardware. It could be improved with the ability to add and extend."
"The reporting feature isn't very good."
"We had a few problems with the foundation machine that you can use to build your systems out. We've got it working now, but it should be improved."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure lacks compatibility with certain older processors."
"In the future, I would like Acropolis to add support for publishing external storage."
"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."
