We performed a comparison between Citrix Hypervisor and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Proxmox, VMware, Microsoft and others in Server Virtualization Software."The onboarding process is pretty straightforward."
"The most valuable features are being able to host many virtual machines and being able to patch machines."
"Citrix Hypervisor does a great job overall, such as the virtualization of the host. It's very easy to manage the virtual machine, to create, and configure high availability."
"It is quite flexible and rugged. It is also easy to understand and user-friendly. It is not as complicated as some of the other solutions. It has its technicalities, but it is easy to understand. You can easily pick up in a short period of time and understand how to manage the infrastructure."
"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."
"Citrix Hypervisor is quick to deploy and easy to manage."
"The feature I find most valuable, is its performance"
"The solution is extremely user friendly."
"The administration console, automation, and the first cluster are all valuable features."
"Performing a Nutanix software upgrade is a very simple and non-disruptive process."
"The cloud features in-site offering, which I found to be very interesting."
"We have had good feedback from our customers about this solution."
"Ease of deployment"
"Acropolis AOS is scalable to nodes and the cloud."
"One of the most valuable features is that it can be applied at any scale."
"It offers very useful data protection."
"I think the technical support could be better."
"It needs to have a more robust backup solution."
"The manageability of the solution needs improvement. It's an extremely bad product to handle."
"The solution is only in English. It would be ideal if it was in Portuguese."
"I would like the possibility of updating the hypervisor by applying security patches."
"Integration with other vendors and other applications could be improved."
"It needs improvement with the security features."
"Overall, I can't think of a feature that is lacking. We've been pretty satisfied overall."
"There is a lot of functionality in Prism Central, but sometimes you want to see those features in Prism Element."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure's LTS version needs to be more reliable."
"In terms of what I would like to see improved, I would say the life cycle management. I don't know if it is because they changed to an LCM from the previous way of upgrading the hardware or software but sometimes it feels that it needs a wizard that says, "Check this, check this," telling you your options. The only thing that's a bit frustrating for me is the life cycle management interface. That's the only thing on the entire system that frustrates me."
"Our client had some old Citrix Xen servers for which there is no direct migration. Nutanix has a move utility for Microsoft Hyper-V clusters or VMware clusters. You can easily migrate them using the move utility, but the Xen clusters cannot be migrated in a simple way. That is the only thing that is lacking, but nowadays, no one uses the Citrix Xen server for their clusters. Everything else is already there. Nutanix keeps on upgrading its hardware's or hypervisor's capability to be able to support new technologies."
"In Thailand, there really isn't a cloud version of Nutanx available to us."
"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 that can talk. Otherwise, if I have a VMware stack and I already have a Nutanix stack, I can create containers, I create clusters on VMware, I create clusters on Nutanix."
"It would be great if they could improve the GUI features."
"The licensing cost could be lower."
