"Nutanix Acropolis AOS is flexible and has helped people to work from home during the pandemic."
"What's best about Nutanix Acropolis AOS is its simplicity. It's simple to install and simple to understand. The technical support and support portal for this product are both very good and very helpful."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure's most valuable features are all the cloud facilities or benefits it provides for my data center."
"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."
"It is all-in-one. The compute processing, storage, and network altogether make it convenient. We don't have to have different modules for expansion."
"It has seamless expandability."
"The most valuable features are its ease of use and its good performance."
"There are some storage problems which do occur in high load systems, especially SQL workloads."
"An improvement I suggest is having more guest operating systems."
"VLAN is not very easy to configure."
"I think there is room for improvement in terms of the cloud solutions."
"In general, based on my little experience with Hyper-V, I see a lot of obstacles. I think it falls behind the other competitors."

"I would love to see other options for connecting VMs to large data storage."
"The storage and back-up facilities could be improved. We need day-to-day encrypting of the database."
"I would like to see a fuller integration with the public cloud. It would help the user enter the hybrid cloud infrastructure."
"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."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS is new technology in a competitive market. Pricing is too high for a new product and requires better discounts to be able to compete with IBM, Dell EMC, and HP."
"We have a team that does the implementation of the solution for our customers, it is better to have professionals handle the process."
"The product requires a lot of resources."
"Nutanix could streamline Acropolis' advanced management to keep pace with its competitors. For example, in VMware vSphere ESXi Hypervisor, you can directly put a host into maintenance mode via the GUI. However, it takes several steps to do this with Nutanix Acropolis, and you need to use the command-line interface for most of the steps."
"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."
