Find out what your peers are saying about Proxmox, VMware, Microsoft and others in Server Virtualization Software."The storage features and volume system are great."
"It has a vs switch for the people who know Linux, in case it's easier for them to use AHV than it is to use VMware."
"Nutanix AHV is very scalable. It can go to unlimited nodes."
"It is a stable solution. I haven't faced stability issues in the solution."
"The most valuable feature is the integration between storage and compute services."
"The interface is very good, and quite user-friendly."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix AHV is that it can be managed through Hyper-V, which is Microsoft's hypervisor, VMware, and Citrix XenServer."
"Its low maintenance is a key feature. It is easy to install, upgrade, and scale by adding more blocks."
"The cloud features in-site offering, which I found to be very interesting."
"Single click actions is definitely the most important. They were not even aware that they wanted this."
"Acropolis has a great interface and lots of management features packaged with it at an affordable price."
"It has centralized management. It is easy for an engineer to manage. More work goes to patching, upgrades, and maintenance. Nutanix is very easy to upgrade. It takes one click. Engineers do not need to spend additional time with Nutanix for upgrades. With one click, it will complete the upgrade and show the results. Other hypervisor solutions are not like this, specifically since you must do all the components one by one."
"The simplicity when it comes to building your own automation has been excellent."
"Their Google operating system is more mature, so their results are much better."
"It offers very useful data protection."
"They need to work on the deployment of virtual machines. They need to streamline the process of templates and deploying virtual machines."
"It's not a very scalable product."
"I would like to see more automation of Day One operations, such as DRS, and HA."
"The management console needs to improve to make it easier for administrators. For example, to be able to reorganize our VMs, folders, and subfolders, similarly as it is provided in VMware. We can sort, manage, and organize VMs, folders, or subfolders in VMware."
"The software based controller has high consumption. This could be improved."
"The integration capabilities of Nutanix AHV Virtualization is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"When we need to share, publish, or encrypt something, we still need to perform it using the command line."
"There is no web interface for AHV."
"In the future, I would like Acropolis to add support for publishing external storage."
"The price could be lower."
"Compatible with third party hardware, but it's still very limited."
"There is a need is to be able to consume Nutanix storage from outside the cluster for other, non-Nutanix workloads."
"Make it easier to manage."
"The look and feel of the web GUI of this system needs improvement, when compared to other systems. Its hardware integration also needs improvement."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure lacks compatibility with certain older processors."
"The scalability of the solution had some issues because there were many VMs and the replication ran into some bottlenecks. It was an issue that was known to Nutanix and it was not disclosed to the customer."
