We performed a comparison between Hyper-V 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."It makes it easier to deploy service. All service tends to migrate onto the server house without having problems now. It is hardware independent."
"Microsoft has documentation that is easy to find, helpful, and readily available."
"I find the ease of use the most valuable asset of the solution."
"I appreciate its stability and user-friendly management interface."
"This solution helps us with production of our office business needs."
"Hyper-V is much easier to deploy because Hyper-V is already installed inside Windows Server OS. You only need to turn on Hyper-V as a service, and then you can use it. The most convenient thing about Hyper-V is the operating system."
"Hyper-V can expand storage. For instance, if I have a VM running on NetApp or another platform, I can expand the storage without interrupting operations. It is useful when I need to quickly allocate more storage without causing downtime or performing maintenance tasks."
"The implementation process is simple."
"It allows us to have a cloud-based ecosystem."
"The management interface of this solution is great."
"This is a complete, very user-friendly product."
"Hyper-convergence is the most valuable feature for me as it allows me to scale the hardware according to project requirements."
"Hyperconverged Infrastructure is the most valuable feature of Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure."
"Its low maintenance is a key feature. It is easy to install, upgrade, and scale by adding more blocks."
"In general, being able to patch and not having to pay for SanDisk is the best thing about hyper-converged."
"The ease of deployment is very good."
"Hyper-V's management platform falls short in terms of scalability, especially when handling multiple Hyper-V servers. VMware has a central console to pull in all your VM servers, so you can easily manage them all through one console. You can manage servers in Hyper-V's admin centers, but it's not as scalable. It's doable with a couple of Hyper-V servers, but it becomes harder to manage when you get over two or three Hyper-V servers."
"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."
"The management interface is in need of the biggest improvement."
"I think the console could use some improvement for the backups."
"Storage via SMB3."
"It should be deployed with OS so there is no need to install OS separately, only select the OS and get it ready."
"They can hot add NICs to the VMs. However, there is still not the ability to hot add virtual processors to running VMs."
"Hyper-V requires improvement with manageability."
"It's lacking in some features but overcompensating in others."
"I would like them to update their licensing to provide more features with their basic license."
"The name of the solutions offered by Nutanix does not indicate what the tool does."
"There is a feature that exists used for disaster recovery, but it requires an extra license. It should be included with the regular normal standard license."
"We did have some integration issues."
"They should support more VM, which is not currently supported."
"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."
"It would be great if they could improve the GUI features."
