Find out what your peers are saying about Proxmox, VMware, Microsoft and others in Server Virtualization Software."Citrix is easy to use and is stable."
"The continued uptime of our virtual machines is good."
"What I find most valuable in Citrix Hypervisor is its licensing policy, because you'll get it for free if you buy a Citrix XenDesktop license. You don't need to spend additional money on the Citrix Hypervisor because you can manage both the Citrix XenDesktop and the Citrix Hypervisor with just one license, so you can save on cost. I also like that the solution is good support-wise. Hardware support is also faster compared to other solutions."
"The feature I find most valuable, is its performance"
"The most valuable features are being able to host many virtual machines and being able to patch machines."
"Citrix Hypervisor is simple to use."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The price is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The ease of deployment is very good."
"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 dashboard of Nutanix Acropolis AOS allows for simple management. The dashboard has all the information online about what's going on at any given time."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS is stable. We didn't receive any concerns regarding any problems, The customers have no concerns about the reliability."
"One of the most valuable features that can be found, is the inclusion of a hypervisor for free."
"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 initial setup was quite straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is it has centralized management."
"We'd like them to add more automation to the product."
"The licensing costs are too high on the solution. They should work to make the costs more reasonable."
"The product could be faster and licensing options could be improved."
"The solution should be more flexible and allow for greater customization."
"I would like the possibility of updating the hypervisor by applying security patches."
"Overall, I can't think of a feature that is lacking. We've been pretty satisfied overall."
"Integration with other vendors and other applications could be improved."
"The self-service user portal needs to be more granular and be more customizable."
"One of the improvements I would like to have is related to naming. It is getting confusing because they are using three-letter acronyms, which are more or less misleading. What I do not like is that they changed names and reused names. They had a meaning in the past and they are still using the names for something similar."
"As Nutanix Acropolis AOS is on the expensive side, one of its areas for improvement is the price. It would also be better if it can be integrated with other cloud providers, because currently, it's only for private cloud deployment."
"The look and feel of the web GUI of this system needs improvement, when compared to other systems. Its hardware integration also needs improvement."
"Reduce its power consumption."
"If we can have certified compatibility with other companies, such as Oracle, then it would let us know that they function correctly together."
"We would like to see a cloud version of Acropolis AOS. Currently, we're trying to implement an AWS environment for some solutions, but we would like to use another technology also to enhance our organization, so we are looking for another technology for this, especially a cloud solution."
"The file services that they also provide need some more features, like on the Windows file server."
"Native File-Services are under heavy development and Container Services just came out."
