Find out what your peers are saying about Proxmox, VMware, Microsoft and others in Server Virtualization Software."Microsoft's a good name for legacy support and solutions"
"The solution is easy to configure."
"Microsoft has documentation that is easy to find, helpful, and readily available."
"The simplicity and intuitiveness of the platform. It was a very simple adaptation, if you have any experience in virtualization."
"It is an affordable platform."
"The solution allows us to take advantage of our physical environment."
"The virtualized applications and real time audition of the VMA is quite a good feature."
"II prefer customers to use Hyper-V because Hyper-V is mostly integrated with Microsoft solutions."
"The configuration is easy, and it's flexible."
"There are a lot of features in Nutanix that are different from other hyper-converged solutions, such as site-to-site replication. VM-based site-to-site replication is bundled with the software licensing. For the DR, it has the availability groups, which is one of the key features that Nutanix provides."
"The maintenance software is straightforward because you do not need to do any configuration."
"The speed of the operations and of creation of VM is fantastic."
"It is less expensive than VMware products. It is also a little bit more flexible, but it really comes down to price for us."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"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."
"We are suggesting Nutanix to the management because of scalability and time efficiency."
"When one server or one virtual machine fails, or one is turned off, the virtualization stops, and we have to initiate again with human intervention."
"We've had many issues with Hyper-V's stability, including resource crunches and memory leakage."
"It needs to improve compatibility with third party software."
"It needs additional administration and monitoring capabilities."
"The area revolving around operations in the product has certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"In an upcoming release, they can improve by having better cloud integration. We are all moving towards the clouds and the integration is only through the Azure Stack, there should be tools built in to move the VMs natively to the cloud and infrastructure. Additionally, they could provide some form of multi-cloud integration."
"SCVMM needs to be more user-friendly. Without SCVMM, automating is not easy to use and we look forward to the upcoming versions of SCVMM becoming simpler and more admin friendly."
"I think the setup for the Virtual Network Manager could be improved."
"If we can have certified compatibility with other companies, such as Oracle, then it would let us know that they function correctly together."
"Pricing and varieties of options could be better."
"The pricing model for software and hardware subscription renewals can be improved."
"I'd like it to be more API-based."
"The product requires a lot of resources."
"The documentation could be improved."
"Could have better visibility with the main OEM backup integrators."
"Usually, there are separate administration teams that take care of servers, but in our organization, servers are usually looked after by the application owner. However, the application owners cannot reinstall the software, OS, and other things. That only aligns with the role of the HCI administrator. If these rights can be provided, it will be very easy."
