"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."
"Flexibility. We're able to mix performance nodes with storage nodes easily. Unlike other vendors where, if we start a hyperconverged solution with them, we have to stick to a specific model, to a specific series with specific capabilities, with Nutanix it's very easy to mix and match the best solution, especially for a dynamic infrastructure like ours."
"One of the most valuable features is the One-Click Upgrade. When I need to update the system, I do it with one click. This product is amazing because everything is easy to manage, from network management to snapshots."
"I like NCI's dashboard. If there are any infrastructure issues, we'll get alerts inside the dashboard. NCI provides a single platform for managing all of our databases. We are running SQL and Linux databases."

"The solution can improve on the replication features."
"There are some technical limitations, but it would be great to have in-line deduplication and in-line compression for the FAS series as well."
"No other area for improvement comes to mind other than its price. Making the price more attractive will help this solution have a bigger market share."
"There should be a little more access to Nutanix files."
"The product needs improvement in the areas of SAN attachment for high capacity and high I/O profile workloads."
"We have a team that does the implementation of the solution for our customers, it is better to have professionals handle the process."
"We had a few problems with the foundation machine that you can use to build your systems out. We've got it working now, but it should be improved."
"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."
"One disadvantage of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is it doesn't support external storage. Connecting external SAN storage to Nutanix, it's not supported."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure lacks compatibility with certain older processors."
"I'm sure there are a lot of things that could be improved, but I'm actually very satisfied with this product. There may be some possibilities to move the virtual server dismounting points or to move the server from one group to another, but I can't think of any special improvements or update features."
