Find out what your peers are saying about Proxmox, VMware, Microsoft and others in Server Virtualization Software."It's user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix AHV is that it can be managed through Hyper-V, which is Microsoft's hypervisor, VMware, and Citrix XenServer."
"With AHV, you can run micro-segmentation, which is, on the network security level, to have network virtualization across clouds."
"The entirety of the infrastructure resides in the same product, which makes it easy to troubleshoot and investigate problems."
"For our markets here in Morocco, we are mainly working with server virtualization, and the most valuable feature is the software-defined storage and hyper-converged infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is the integration between storage and compute services."
"It is the simple non-consideration we get with this product that's great. It just works."
"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."
"The level of statistical performance data that it can confirm in real-time is extremely useful. I can see what my VM’s hosts and guests are doing from a single pane of glass and identify issues before they would otherwise become apparent."
"The scalability is great."
"The most valuable features are easy cloud administration and management."
"I can use VMware or Hyper-V license, if I already have. But if I use a similar solution as Nutanix Acropolis hypervisor (AHV) that comes embedded in Nutanix solution, I can manage all my virtual environments with everything I need without spend more money on licenses."
"The product is easy to manage."
"It supports multi-cloud integration that includes AWS, Google, and Azure."
"The most valuable features are its ease of use and its good performance."
"One of the most valuable features that can be found, is the inclusion of a hypervisor for free."
"The management console needs to improve to make it easier for administrators. For example, to be able to reorganize our VMs, folders, and subfolders, similarly as it is provided in VMware. We can sort, manage, and organize VMs, folders, or subfolders in VMware."
"Lacks integration with the cloud or other solutions."
"VMware does tend to have more features than AHV. It's more of the leader in this space."
"If you want to install a specific operating system, you must first check to see if it is listed in the compatibility list; only then will you be able to install it, and that is one issue for now."
"When we need to share, publish, or encrypt something, we still need to perform it using the command line."
"The solution could improve the call logging system to HPE, it is a bit tedious."
"There is no web interface with AHV."
"There is room for improvement in the USB mapping."
"The product requires a lot of resources."
"One thing to keep in mind is that only experts can use it. It has to be in the proper hands, instead of going to XYZ people just for some cost savings. So lift-and-shift and migrations might be tricky, because it is not like a VMware."
"While the customer support is truly incredible, for Spanish speakers it would be appropriate to have support in their native language to further improve problem-solving conditions."
"It was not a great fit for really large databases that required high-end or lots of compute. They might already have addressed this concern around very high-end databases that require high-end compute. In the past, it wasn't a great fit for them."
"In terms of the IT different categories, I would like for the governing sections to be able to use it in the IT department. If they can have something like a one view management portal or software similar to VMware that would be an added value."
"This product would be improved if it included a hybrid cloud solution."
"Nutanix can be a bit complex to understand."
"NCI's pricing is expensive."
