Find out what your peers are saying about Proxmox, VMware, Microsoft and others in Server Virtualization Software."Nutanix is good for new implementations on the VM side. It's very good for disaster recovery and final storage."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix AHV Virtualization is the user-friendly environment. The integration, implementation, and training for the solution are good."
"The product has helped consolidate a lot of my workload."
"Nutanix AHV's most valuable feature is NetFlow."
"Using AHV, we have a built-in VR solution. It operates using a reduplication-based unique package transfer process."
"Nutanix AHV works really well. It's much easier to administer and manage than VMware. Since we're not a large IT department within the finance sector, our team is relatively small. We don't have a huge team of IT professionals to manage all the other systems."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix AHV is the prism, it is a beneficial central management console."
"Nutanix AHV Virtualization is a private cloud platform offering integration with various public cloud providers. This integration allows for a multi-cloud approach. In my opinion, Nutanix AHV Virtualization's strength is its storage. It innovates and excels in the hyper-converged storage segment, making it the number one choice in this area."
"Acropolis AOS's networking concept is excellent."
"Acropolis AOS is scalable to nodes and the cloud."
"Data locality provides super-fast data access and ultra-low latency."
"Hyper-convergence is the most valuable feature for me as it allows me to scale the hardware according to project requirements."
"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 is well integrated with other vendors."
"Best features are around data locality, compression, and deduplication."
"The initial setup was quite straightforward."
"The technical support for this solution needs to be improved in terms of response time."
"To face no complications in our company, we had to switch off virtual machines one after the other before heading to Nutanix platform and going to edge services to switch off and turn off everything, making it a challenging process for me."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The solution could improve the call logging system to HPE, it is a bit tedious."
"A lot of tasks cannot be performed using the GUI, the graphical interface."
"The licensing costs are a little bit expensive."
"The price of Nutanix AHV Virtualization could improve."
"The software based controller has high consumption. This could be improved."
"In the next release, I would like better and more competitive pricing."
"An area for improvement would be the cyber security features."
"It would be great if they could improve the GUI features."
"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 technology has a lot of room for improvement. For example, when they want to segment applications in conjunction with NSX, which VMware uses, Acropolis is not compatible with the competitors. The integration in the security layer is not compatible with NSX for the application segmentation that uses VMware."
"The storage and back-up facilities could be improved. We need day-to-day encrypting of the database."
"I would like to see them utilize the spare storage that they use as a redundant space. I feel that now a lot of resources are wasted just for standby purposes because we are using data protection. Instead of utilizing those resources only when something happens, they can have an alternative so that we can utilize these resources all the time."
"The documentation could be improved."
