We performed a comparison between Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) and VMware Cloud Foundation based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Hybrid Cloud Computing Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature I have found to be the Acropolis Hypervisor (AHV)."
"Acropolis AOS's networking concept is excellent."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS is stable. We didn't receive any concerns regarding any problems, The customers have no concerns about the reliability."
"The most valuable features are the user-friendly dashboard and that we don't need to move resources manually when adding new nodes into running clusters."
"One of the most valuable features is the One-Click Upgrade. When I need to update the system, I do it with one click. This product is amazing because everything is easy to manage, from network management to snapshots."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS is flexible and has helped people to work from home during the pandemic."
"The most valuable feature would be the ease of deployment. That is the most significant feature for me because I've worked with multiple vendors and it's always been very complicated to install the software and get everything running."
"The speed of the operations and of creation of VM is fantastic."
"The ability to auto-scale is the most valuable feature."
"The product enables flexibility in network structures."
"VMware Cloud Foundation makes it easy to set up new environments. You get hosts in a pool, which you can build into a new cluster."
"The DSR feature is valuable because we have internal clustering, and these features are good for us."
"The stability is good."
"It is a scalable platform."
"VMware Cloud Foundation's most valuable features are password and certificate management. The SDDC manager tool is the front tool we are using to manage the entire VCF stack. In the SDDC manager, we can able to rotate, and update the passwords of all users. Anything in the VMware portfolio, we can manage from a single dashboard and we have various data centers. We have connected everything into one Federation. From one single place, we are managing our entire virtual interactions."
"The most valuable features in VMware Cloud Foundation are life cycle management and ease of use."
"As of now, Acropolis and VMware cannot talk to each other. Until we have some kind of interface, it would be much better for Nutanix if they built an interface which can talk. Otherwise, if I have a VMware stack and I already have a Nutanix stack, I create containers, I create clusters on VMware, I create clusters on Nutanix. All of these clusters cannot talk to each other. Then it has to be then subverted as a parallel execution. What happens then is that I have to work in two different environments within my data center. Practically, they are two different data centers but physically and logically, they are one. If they cannot talk to each other that creates a lot of issues. That is something which Nutanix has to develop because for Nutanix it is very simple. For example, Oracle is using a function called GoldenGate. They have a feature called GoldenGate which allows them to talk to various different environments which must really help."
"We'd like to have more resource management."
"To have internal stability, we needed to network the solution ourselves. Performance depends on the application. Performance could be the lack of IOPS, memory and CPU and configuration issues."
"AHV is a great hypervisor but still limited compared to VMware. AHV is the one product they must improve."
"The name of the solutions offered by Nutanix does not indicate what the tool does."
"The storage and back-up facilities could be improved. We need day-to-day encrypting of the database."
"I would like to see Acropolis add the ability to migrate VMs between storage containers. I don't know if they've added this in the latest versions, but I haven't seen it yet. It's mainly about AHV. When we use VMware, we can move between storage containers. In VMware, it's just like regular storage, and we can move it."
"If they can simplify the software slightly for the installation, that would make all the difference."
"The deployment is clumsy and complex. There are too many things that need to be done in order to deploy."
"We would like the ability to write to both sites at the same time, in a synchronous fashion."
"The use of cloud and other integrations need to be improved and made easier."
"The price could be better. VMware Cloud Foundation is overpriced, but I think we get what we pay for. It would be better if it were cheaper because it would be easier to go to customers and get them to buy it. We'd get more projects, and that would be great."
"The interface is good, but there are compatibility issues or issues with the certificate for the VCenter."
"The tool's price tag is high."
"The solution could improve by being more secure."
"I would like to be able to connect the APIs."
