We performed a comparison between Citrix Hypervisor and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Proxmox, VMware, Microsoft and others in Server Virtualization Software."Citrix Hypervisor is quick to deploy and easy to manage."
"The solution integrates well with other solutions, which makes it really strong as a primary solution to deploy."
"We find there are good central maintenance and central management panels."
"Ability to move your virtual machines from one host to another."
"What I find most valuable in Citrix Hypervisor is its licensing policy, because you'll get it for free if you buy a Citrix XenDesktop license. You don't need to spend additional money on the Citrix Hypervisor because you can manage both the Citrix XenDesktop and the Citrix Hypervisor with just one license, so you can save on cost. I also like that the solution is good support-wise. Hardware support is also faster compared to other solutions."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is very fast. It also works very well for physically small servers."
"The compatibility of the solution is its most valuable feature. It's compatible on almost every cloud these days."
"Installing Hypervisor is really simple. It's the simplest setup I've ever done before. We used a team to deploy it, and it doesn't take much time, like two or three hours tops."
"The most valuable feature I have found to be the Acropolis Hypervisor (AHV)."
"Hyper-convergence is the most valuable feature for me as it allows me to scale the hardware according to project requirements."
"It's much easier and faster even when you want to create a server from a template or clone."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features is how well this solution performs. It's stable, aside from some patch issues, but it's great from a virtualization and scalability perspective."
"The most valuable features are the user-friendly dashboard and that we don't need to move resources manually when adding new nodes into running clusters."
"Everything is core centralized on the UI."
"The scalability, performance, and licensing model are the most valuable features."
"The solution needs better backup facilities that are available for virtual machines to create servers on."
"There are several areas that need improvement including the stability of the networking stack and networking management."
"We'd like them to add more automation to the product."
"Citrix is not investing in the virtual surroundings."
"The solution is too expensive and people are kind of moving away from Citrix. It's starting to become a problem. It is a primary reason that while we are rebuilding we're going to seek out open-source solutions."
"The built-in networking features are a little limited."
"I would like the possibility of updating the hypervisor by applying security patches."
"The interface has to be updated."
"Pricing and varieties of options could be better."
"We ran into an issue as a managed service provider because Acropolis isn't designed to be used the way we are running it. For example, if we want to deploy a Kubernetes service, the customer networks need to reach our protected cluster network. We have isolated our customers in separate VLANs. However, our customers' networks must access our cluster network to get features like iSCSI or Kubernetes to run. It's challenging."
"As Nutanix Acropolis AOS is on the expensive side, one of its areas for improvement is the price. It would also be better if it can be integrated with other cloud providers, because currently, it's only for private cloud deployment."
"There is room to enhance the micro-segmentation."
"We'd like to have more resource management."
"We did have some integration issues."
"Benchmark testing indicated that workloads did slightly better on our Vblock by a few percentage"
"Nutanix now supports four hypervisors but they are not all at feature parity."
