We performed a comparison between Nutanix AHV Virtualization and Oracle VM VirtualBox 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 most valuable feature is manageability."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix AHV is the prism, it is a beneficial central management console."
"The feature that has had the most impact is data locality. That is a feature that makes Nutanix different from other hypervisors. It helps us to get application performance that is probably double what we got with the legacy, three-tier architecture."
"Using AHV, we have a built-in VR solution. It operates using a reduplication-based unique package transfer process."
"Nutanix is good for new implementations on the VM side. It's very good for disaster recovery and final storage."
"Nutanix AHV virtualization requires little disk size for a huge number of servers. We can do everything from a single dashboard, monitoring performance, and single-task boxes."
"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 solution is stable."
"The pause feature is valuable. I can pause, which is something that not all hypervisors allow. The snapshot feature is also valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to copy bidirectionally between the desktop and the virtual machine."
"This product is extremely easy to install, use, has a great GUI and is incredibly stable."
"I like that Oracle VM is safe and stable. It is also very easy to administer. For example, opening a VM or adding a host adapter is extremely easy."
"The configuration and installation is pretty straightforward."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution were the support and performance of the product and the flexibility it gives you to work."
"The scalability of the solution is very good."
"The snapshot feature is very powerful; it protects us from disaster."
"Nutanix misses alerts sometimes."
"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."
"Adding even more integrations would be an improvement."
"When we need to share, publish, or encrypt something, we still need to perform it using the command line."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"The product must provide geo clusters."
"The price of Nutanix AHV Virtualization could improve."
"I would like to see more automation of Day One operations, such as DRS, and HA."
"There are a few bugs that need to be updated."
"It's not as robust as server platforms, nor does it need to be."
"The solution needs to improve its flexibility. It's not as flexible as VMware."
"It should have the functionality where if I move the mouse away from one screen, the context changes automatically."
"It would be good if we could use Hyper-V Windows subsystems with Linux and VirtualBox on the same instance. Currently, to be able to use VirtualBox, we have to restart the machine into an instance of Windows where Hyper-V is disabled, which is understandably very inconvenient."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"Oracle VM VirtualBox doesn't work properly with an antivirus tool."
"The solution lacks some open source remote administration tools. The reload of individual virtual machine definitions through the vboxweb service (via its API) without restarting it and the access to shared storage (to use teleport functions) need to be improved."
