We performed a comparison between Hyper-V 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 simplicity and intuitiveness of the platform. It was a very simple adaptation, if you have any experience in virtualization."
"The most valuable feature is that it's an end-to-end solution."
"It is easy to use, and it is stable. It is a good solution."
"We have a higher capacity server (specification wise) so there is no need to buy another additional hardware."
"The interface is quite good."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It was easy to install."
"It is a stable product."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"The most valuable feature is the one-click to update the firmware and software."
"The scalability, performance, and licensing model are the most valuable features."
"The maintenance software is straightforward because you do not need to do any configuration."
"The stability is good. This is the number-one product in that regard."
"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 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."
"It's quite easy to scale, and you have the option to have distributed nodes everywhere around the world that work as one. You can also have a solution for small branch offices with only two nodes for redundancy, and that's good enough to start."
"The administration console, automation, and the first cluster are all valuable features."
"Status and availability became an issue and need."
"The Hyper-V management console could be improved to make it easier. It should be a little bit more granular. Various virtual switches could also be improved to make virtual desk management slightly better. The replication could be improved slightly. The checkpoints or snapshots could be improved to make it a bit more transparent to the user."
"The technical support is good but it could improve by being faster."
"The biggest problem with Hyper-V is that the virtual machines are mostly running on top of the Windows Server, so we often need to reboot the machine and virtual machines when updating the host level. That's why we prefer VMware. It's much easier to patch the host. Also, Hyper-V has security vulnerabilities. It's easy to attack and compromise the host."
"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."
"I am using this solution with E-Notes. I heard that there will be future improvements in integration of the E-notes systems. This would be very helpful."
"Microsoft tech support is horrible."
"We'd like a template feature to help deploy VMs quickly."
"The only problem is that not many operating systems are supported on the AOS hypervisor. They need to probably increase the support on multiple operating systems. As of now, a very limited number of operating systems and patch levels are supported on AOS."
"In the future, I would like to see multi-tenancy in Nutanix Acropolis AOS."
"There are other services that Nutanix has that could be improved, but I'm not very familiar with the other services of Nutanix, such as Era and Flow. However, they seem a bit hard for us to implement and integrate with the Nutanix Acropolis AOS and other Nutanix tools. We would not dare to implement those other Nutanix solutions into Nutanix Acropolis AOS right now. The implementation of that tool could be the problem, I am a bit hesitant to implement the other tools into Nutanix Acropolis AOS."
"There should be a little more access to Nutanix files."
"The process of migrating from old hardware to new could improve."
"As Nutanix Acropolis AOS is on the expensive side, one of its areas for improvement is the price. It would also be better if it can be integrated with other cloud providers, because currently, it's only for private cloud deployment."
"The product could be improved with more security. The product needs a bit more experience in the market. I think you don't have the possibility to add other hardware. It could be improved with the ability to add and extend."
"I would like them to update their licensing to provide more features with their basic license."
