Find out what your peers are saying about Proxmox, VMware, Microsoft and others in Server Virtualization Software."We chose this solution because of the pricing and the simplicity of the product."
"It works very well. Its performance, stability, and redundancy are all very dependable."
"The replication, creation, and import wizard, as well as the integration with reporting tools, are the most useful features."
"One of the most valuable features of Hyper-V is ease to use."
"It is definitely the toughest competitor for VMware. It easily increases memory for our virtual machines."
"I think the cluster environment is a good feature of Hyper-V because, if something happens, then it will automatically move to some other mode. This is a great feature of the solution."
"The most valuable feature of Hyper-V is that it's very intuitive."
"There are some products that you can mount over Hyper-V that provide the features that, in today's Hyper-V, are not present."
"The maintenance software is straightforward because you do not need to do any configuration."
"Karbon is a must-have as it drastically simplifies the deployment of Kubernetes."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is it has centralized management."
"The most valuable features are easy cloud administration and management."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS makes it easy to use and manage projects and it has a good reputation."
"The product is easy to manage."
"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."
"I have found the solution to be stable."
"In my opinion, read the documentation carefully. If you do not, you will have problems."
"The cost and licensing can be improved."
"We'd like a template feature to help deploy VMs quickly."
"There is a hard limitation of 20 gigs per file with Dropbox, so you've got to overcome that by chunking the zip files into something smaller and manageable."
"VLAN is not very easy to configure."
"The solution is lacking in numerous features and lacks flexibility."
"We've had many issues with Hyper-V's stability, including resource crunches and memory leakage."
"The corrupted volume is a problem."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with external storage using the fiber channel"
"There could be better support for high power ESX and other cross platform applications."
"It would be fantastic if there was a built-in layer, in Nutanix, that acted like a cloud interface. So far, we need to integrate a cloud interface on top of Nutanix for billing the usage for specific customers' domains. It would be great if a cloud gateway was built-in, inside Nutanix."
"I would like better integration of XenServer into the AOS and Prism Central."
"It's lacking in some features but overcompensating in others."
"One of the very important things that I would like to see in Nutanix, but I'm not sure if it's in the roadmap or not, is to have some kind of caching optimization at remote sites, to build active-active data centers more easily."
"The only problem is that not many operating systems are supported on the AOS hypervisor. They need to probably increase the support on multiple operating systems. As of now, a very limited number of operating systems and patch levels are supported on AOS."
"Storage utilization and optimization should be better."
