Find out what your peers are saying about Proxmox, VMware, Microsoft and others in Server Virtualization Software."Nutanix AHV Virtualization has good performance and can be used for backup and disaster."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix AHV is the prism, it is a beneficial central management console."
"Nutanix AHV Virtualization is a private cloud platform offering integration with various public cloud providers. This integration allows for a multi-cloud approach. In my opinion, Nutanix AHV Virtualization's strength is its storage. It innovates and excels in the hyper-converged storage segment, making it the number one choice in this area."
"The solution scales very well."
"It has a vs switch for the people who know Linux, in case it's easier for them to use AHV than it is to use VMware."
"Integration is the most valuable feature of the product."
"Using AHV, we have a built-in VR solution. It operates using a reduplication-based unique package transfer process."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that you don't need to pay for it, it's free, as opposed to paying for a VMware license."
"The interface is very good. Before we used this solution, we had separate storage and switches, but with the hyper convert, it's all in one."
"We are suggesting Nutanix to the management because of scalability and time efficiency."
"The solution is easy to use and the pricing is affordable."
"In general, being able to patch and not having to pay for SanDisk is the best thing about hyper-converged."
"One of the main features of the solution is that it works on many hypervisors. It is a big advantage. Additionally, the solution is compatible with VMware and Hyper-V, and the management interface, which is called Prism, is very intuitive and user-friendly."
"Best features are around data locality, compression, and deduplication."
"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."
"The management interface of this solution is great."
"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."
"I haven't come across any limitations. Nutanix doesn't support externally attached storage through Fibre Channel. However, Nutanix doesn't support Fibre Channel connectivity. This, in my opinion, is a weakness of Nutanix. For instance, it does not support Cyber Talent. To clarify, you cannot connect external Fibre Channel storage or NAS storage resources with Nutanix. However, VMware vSAN supports such solutions."
"The integration capabilities of Nutanix AHV Virtualization is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"When we need to share, publish, or encrypt something, we still need to perform it using the command line."
"The initial installation is complex. It took approximately four days."
"It's not a very scalable product."
"The technical support for this solution needs to be improved in terms of response time."
"There are times when consultants, construction, or building firms need to use Beam but it can be difficult."
"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."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS could improve by having an auto-update feature. At this time I have to update each system manually. However, I bought the standard license and I did not buy the maximum license they have available. There could be a certain license that does the updates automatically."
"AHV is a great hypervisor but still limited compared to VMware. AHV is the one product they must improve."
"The pricing model for software and hardware subscription renewals can be improved."
"I would like better integration of XenServer into the AOS and Prism Central."
"We did have some integration issues."
"The process of migrating from old hardware to new could improve."
"If they can simplify the software slightly for the installation, that would make all the difference."
