Find out in this report how the two Server Virtualization Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Technical support is great."
"The tool's performance is top-notch."
"The case fileserver on the web server is the most valuable feature."
"It is a stable solution with reliable performance."
"PowerVM's most valuable features include swift optimisation and real-time migration."
"It is a complete solution."
"IBM PowerVM's most valuable feature is stability."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility in terms of managing the hardware resources such as RAM, CPU, and the network."
"Nutanix AHV is very scalable. It can go to unlimited nodes."
"This product stands out for its user-friendly interface, intuitive design, and responsive UI. It offers AVH features comparable to Nutanix but at a more cost-effective price point."
"The entirety of the infrastructure resides in the same product, which makes it easy to troubleshoot and investigate problems."
"For our markets here in Morocco, we are mainly working with server virtualization, and the most valuable feature is the software-defined storage and hyper-converged infrastructure."
"Integration is the most valuable feature of the product."
"The solution scales very well."
"Nutanix's customer support is good, one of its biggest selling points."
"Nutanix is good for new implementations on the VM side. It's very good for disaster recovery and final storage."
"The program has very limited solutions for the virtualization of containers"
"The licensing could be better."
"IBM should review the price of this solution in my opinion; it is too high."
"A GUI version of VIOS would be a great plus for people moving from Intel-based hypervisors."
"This solution is lacking the ability to have servers act as a cluster, such as in VMware. IBM has come out with a feature similar to VMware's vCenter but it is not as mature. They need to add LPM shared-nothing feature, such as in vMotion."
"The solution should be advanced to fit with the container constantly."
"IBM PowerVM does not integrate with Microsoft."
"Any improvements that can be made in the interface will go a long way to helping us work better."
"To face no complications in our company, we had to switch off virtual machines one after the other before heading to Nutanix platform and going to edge services to switch off and turn off everything, making it a challenging process for me."
"I would like to see more automation of Day One operations, such as DRS, and HA."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"VMware does tend to have more features than AHV. It's more of the leader in this space."
"Adding even more integrations would be an improvement."
"There is no web interface for AHV."
"I would like to see better decompression or degrouping of the VMs so that we can use a single number of SQLs with two servers. We don't need a huge number of DXSPs."
"The technical support for this solution needs to be improved in terms of response time."
