Find out what your peers are saying about Proxmox, VMware, Microsoft and others in Server Virtualization Software."The most valuable feature of Hyper-V is the replica service."
"It is definitely the toughest competitor for VMware. It easily increases memory for our virtual machines."
"I find the ease of use the most valuable asset of the solution."
"The solution's technical support is the best."
"It is a stable product."
"I think all of these improvements are going in a good direction. For me, its direction is good and I'm very satisfied with this product."
"The implementation process is simple."
"It makes it easier to deploy service. All service tends to migrate onto the server house without having problems now. It is hardware independent."
"It has seamless expandability."
"The interface is very good. Before we used this solution, we had separate storage and switches, but with the hyper convert, it's all in one."
"The most valuable features are its ease of use and its good performance."
"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."
"The simplicity when it comes to building your own automation has been excellent."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS makes it easy to use and manage projects and it has a good reputation."
"The dashboard of Nutanix Acropolis AOS allows for simple management. The dashboard has all the information online about what's going on at any given time."
"I like NCI's dashboard. If there are any infrastructure issues, we'll get alerts inside the dashboard. NCI provides a single platform for managing all of our databases. We are running SQL and Linux databases."
"There are some storage problems which do occur in high load systems, especially SQL workloads."
"Sometimes there's a bit of slowness in the VMs."
"There are bugs, and this should be resolved by Microsoft."
"They can hot add NICs to the VMs. However, there is still not the ability to hot add virtual processors to running VMs."
"It's not completely stable because your stack becomes bloated."
"I would like Microsoft to put more effort into the Admin Center interface and make it much easier. It is customizable, but you have to be a PowerShell expert to customize these things. That is a limitation."
"There is a hard limitation of 20 gigs per file with Dropbox, so you've got to overcome that by chunking the zip files into something smaller and manageable."
"Traditional architecture, such as converged infrastructure, should be done away with"
"The documentation could be improved."
"Native File-Services are under heavy development and Container Services just came out."
"We'd like to have more resource management."
"It does not have good backup feature tools, like having templates or being able to back up every two or three days."
"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."
"I'd like it to be more API-based."
"We did have some integration issues."
