We performed a comparison between Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) and Oracle VM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."Active-active work mode leads to true redundancy of storage and allows us to distribute the load between multiple nodes."
"I've had to open a few support cases over the years due to administrator errors, and the support received was top-notch."
"We have been able to use more on-prem hardware to reduce cost and also use old disks that we do not trust enough for ordinary RAID or usage."
"It eliminates the use of expensive physical shared storage."
"The solution offers easy one-click PowerShell scripts that are ready to run."
"A typical system administrator with minimal experience in Hyper-V, VMware, or Windows can do VSAN configuration and maintain VSAN operations."
"The product has improved the ability to mimic physical SAN environments to demo scenarios and troubleshoot problems."
"Having the ability to scale horizontally if needed is a huge plus for future growth."
"Best features are around data locality, compression, and deduplication."
"I have found the solution to be stable."
"The configuration is easy, and it's flexible."
"It has a single pane of glass and you don't have to jump around various toolsets."
"It's much easier and faster even when you want to create a server from a template or clone."
"This is a very flexible solution that you are able to run however you want."
"I definitely find the reduced power consumption very valuable. Another aspect I really like, when one compares Citrix to VMware, is the interface where you talk directly to your VM from the present software."
"In addition to the hyper-converged infrastructure, most of our clients are pleased with Acropolis' built-in replication in terms of the DR setup. Our clients also like Prism Central's advanced management and analytics, and many find Nutanix Flow and playbooks incredibly useful."
"Oracle VM is user-friendly and facilitates compliance with Oracle Licensing, a feature not provided by competitors like VMware or Hyper-V. Oracle prefers customers to use their technology. It is also easy to implement, clone, and deploy machines with Oracle VM, making it a convenient solution."
"The solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"The stability is rock solid."
"It's quite stable."
"The support staff in the tech support team at Oracle has improved. I find them extremely helpful and they give very solid support."
"I like Oracle VM's vMotion and cloning features."
"What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."
"We've noticed that when working with Citrix with our Oracle clients who also use Oracle Linux, the monitoring and testing is simpler and easier for us to do."
"The platform needs to improve user management and the web console."
"I would like additional documentation regarding possible networking configurations with 10GbE switching."
"It would be good to have a little more access to control certain aspects within the UI."
"It would be great if the Linux version of the management console offered the same features as Windows."
"StarWind really needs to market its product more."
"I would like to see different levels of support offered."
"Security on the ISCSI protocol could be improved by adding features like OS-type control access, especially for the data center environment."
"I would like to see more user-friendly dashboards in future versions."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS could improve by adding some NAS features, similar to the ones that are available in the NetApp solution."
"This solution would be improved with built-in integration with Rubrik."
"An area for improvement would be the cyber security features."
"We'd like to have more resource management."
"The technology has a lot of room for improvement. For example, when they want to segment applications in conjunction with NSX, which VMware uses, Acropolis is not compatible with the competitors. The integration in the security layer is not compatible with NSX for the application segmentation that uses VMware."
"If we can have certified compatibility with other companies, such as Oracle, then it would let us know that they function correctly together."
"The licensing cost could be lower."
"In the next release of this solution, they could improve by being more competitive with VMware. I would like all third-party solutions to work well with Nutanix Acropolis AOS."
"It was a complex setup. It was very difficult for me."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"We do have a little trepidation with systemd, as it does have a learning curve."
"With our current OVM Manager version, migrating a VM from one repository to another repository was really complicated, especially editing and manually matching the configuration."
"The solution is at its end of life and is about to be discontinued."
"There have been some security issues in the past."
"If you do a gap analysis between VMware and Oracle VM, you can't do VM Snapshot. That's one thing you can't do. It's a sort of a snapshot, but it's not really Snapshot technology. It requires that you're running on CFS-2."
"The management can be improved more, and become more agile. It would be nice for it to become more rich in terms of UI. In addition, the replication to disaster recovery needs improvement."
