"The most valuable features are its ease of use and its good performance."
"What's best about Nutanix Acropolis AOS is its simplicity. It's simple to install and simple to understand. The technical support and support portal for this product are both very good and very helpful."
"The maintenance software is straightforward because you do not need to do any configuration."
"We have had good feedback from our customers about this solution."
"One of the main features of the solution is that it works on many hypervisors. It is a big advantage. Additionally, the solution is compatible with VMware and Hyper-V, and the management interface, which is called Prism, is very intuitive and user-friendly."
"You need to send commands through the command-line interface(CLI). This could be improved. The commands are done better in VMware."
"It offers very useful data protection."
"It gives us a single dashboard to control multiple sites and multiple zones. It helps to do things on a single platform and data sharing is quite easy. The network and the security are easy to manage."
"This is a great product."
"The documentation is good. However, if compared with competitors, it could be enhanced and made more professional."
"A web management interface would be good, especially for those coming from other solutions that have one."
"I wish there was online support because email return takes a long time and a faster solution should be found."
"Our company was hoping for deduplication and encryption across HCI. That is currently not supported."
"Ongoing improvements in read and write performance would help meet increasingly demanding workloads."
"vSAN's free version does not have a graphical user interface."
"Some configuration options still demand service restarting."
"Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is too populated. They have many features, but some features are still missing, it is not complete. They need to improve many features, such as email security and disaster recovery."
"If they could make improvements with the virtual environment then it would be better."
"I would like to see real-time backup supported in the next release of this solution."
"In a hybrid cloud setup, we should be able to port our floors from on-premises to the public cloud and from the public cloud to on-premises."
"They should support more VM, which is not currently supported."
"Nutanix needs to improve network features like Passthrough – SR-IOV. It could be improved by supporting SR-IOV, if they had that support, I would not have needed to implement the VMWare vSAN."
"Nutanix could streamline Acropolis' advanced management to keep pace with its competitors. For example, in VMware vSphere ESXi Hypervisor, you can directly put a host into maintenance mode via the GUI. However, it takes several steps to do this with Nutanix Acropolis, and you need to use the command-line interface for most of the steps."
"I'm not very technical, so I don't know if there are any features that are really lacking. Our customers seem pleased with it, and I haven't heard of any downsides."
"Nutanix should improve AHV to support migration VMs between clusters and storage containers. Migration between containers is possible, but it requires shutting down the VM. The procedure is long and there is no migration between clusters at all."
"In the future, I would like to see multi-tenancy in Nutanix Acropolis AOS."
"USB dongle-based licenses do not allow us to directly locate the USB ports on Nutanix."
