We performed a comparison between Citrix Hypervisor and Nutanix AHV Virtualization based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Server Virtualization Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution integrates well with other solutions, which makes it really strong as a primary solution to deploy."
"Installing Hypervisor is really simple. It's the simplest setup I've ever done before. We used a team to deploy it, and it doesn't take much time, like two or three hours tops."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is very fast. It also works very well for physically small servers."
"The core function enables multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical server. This maximizes hardware utilization and efficiency."
"The continued uptime of our virtual machines is good."
"The most valuable features are being able to host many virtual machines and being able to patch machines."
"The ability to move a virtual machine while it is running is a big advantage."
"We can easily migrate VMs from one host to another."
"This product stands out for its user-friendly interface, intuitive design, and responsive UI. It offers AVH features comparable to Nutanix but at a more cost-effective price point."
"You don't need any other instruments for control, AHV. You only need to look at the prism to control all infrastructure."
"It's user-friendly."
"The solution scales very well."
"The most valuable part of Nutanix is its centralized management of everything."
"The initial setup of Nutanix AHV Virtualization is straightforward."
"Nutanix AHV Virtualization has good performance and can be used for backup and disaster."
"The entirety of the infrastructure resides in the same product, which makes it easy to troubleshoot and investigate problems."
"The product could be faster and licensing options could be improved."
"I am not very sure about how flexible Citrix Hypervisor is with different types of infrastructures. I only know it is flexible with Nutanix, but I am not sure if it is also flexible with others. They can make its integration with other platforms or OEMs easy. They should also make it easy for users to manage their infrastructure. Citrix should make compatibility information related to a hypervisor easily available in a datasheet. Citrix isn't really recognized in this part of the world, and they need to expand their solution and make it more available. There are a lot of customers and companies that are looking for a solution like Citrix, and it should be available in this part of the world. They need to educate people more. Technically, it is good and flexible and has good ability, but it is not as much known as VMware or Microsoft. Their support should also be improved. Currently, if you don't have an updated version, they will not give you the attention."
"It needs to have a more robust backup solution."
"The solution needs better backup facilities that are available for virtual machines to create servers on."
"The solution would benefit from faster technical support."
"The solution is only in English. It would be ideal if it was in Portuguese."
"The self-service user portal needs to be more granular and be more customizable."
"We'd like them to add more automation to the product."
"If we have to opt for a high level of capacity planning and need more analytics—like deciding on new purchases or budgeting, or if we need additional resources in the near future—we need to pay for Prism Central. I would suggest that Nutanix improve a bit on the analytics part of Prism Element so we can calculate those kinds of things within that flavor."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"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 technical support for this solution needs to be improved in terms of response time."
"I would like to see better decompression or degrouping of the VMs so that we can use a single number of SQLs with two servers. We don't need a huge number of DXSPs."
"The solution can be pricey."
"VMware does tend to have more features than AHV. It's more of the leader in this space."
"There are some issues with the interface and integration."
