We performed a comparison between Nutanix AHV Virtualization 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."The most valuable feature of Nutanix AHV is that it can be managed through Hyper-V, which is Microsoft's hypervisor, VMware, and Citrix XenServer."
"You don't need any other instruments for control, AHV. You only need to look at the prism to control all infrastructure."
"The solution is user-friendly and provides good virtual machine backups. The user interface gets updated when there is a new release."
"Nutanix AHV's most valuable feature is NetFlow."
"The most valuable feature is the integration between storage and compute services."
"The most valuable feature is manageability."
"The feature that has had the most impact is data locality. That is a feature that makes Nutanix different from other hypervisors. It helps us to get application performance that is probably double what we got with the legacy, three-tier architecture."
"Nutanix's customer support is good, one of its biggest selling points."
"We have had good feedback from our customers about this solution."
"What I like the most are the high-availability and scalability."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS is easy to use, it is a great platform."
"Most beneficial feature is simplicity, ease of use."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS is stable. We didn't receive any concerns regarding any problems, The customers have no concerns about the reliability."
"Its most valuable feature is simplicity. It is so easy to use. Upgrades are easy. It is easy in terms of disaster recovery, failover, database provisioning, and reporting. Everything about it is just simple."
"SRM capabilities for replication have been proven reliable and very useful for our organization."
"I definitely find the reduced power consumption very valuable. Another aspect I really like, when one compares Citrix to VMware, is the interface where you talk directly to your VM from the present software."
"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."
"If you want to install a specific operating system, you must first check to see if it is listed in the compatibility list; only then will you be able to install it, and that is one issue for now."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see support for containerization."
"Honestly, there's a lot to work on the product, especially for someone like me who has worked on VMware. VMware offers a significant level of customization when configuring virtual machines, and that level of detail is not as pronounced on Nutanix AHV Virtualization."
"An improvement would be for Nutanix AHV to support VMDK, AOS, Hyper-V, and VMware."
"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."
"They need to work on the deployment of virtual machines. They need to streamline the process of templates and deploying virtual machines."
"The reporting section of the dashboard could be improved to include more detailed reporting about the servers."
"Nutanix should improve AHV to support migration VMs between clusters and storage containers. Migration between containers is possible, but it requires shutting down the VM. The procedure is long and there is no migration between clusters at all."
"Setup can be a little difficult"
"Reduce its power consumption."
"In a hybrid cloud setup, we should be able to port our floors from on-premises to the public cloud and from the public cloud to on-premises."
"Nutanix has a complex infrastructure, we have customers that consider VMware instead. Additionally, the performance could be better."
"We could always use a performance upgrade, or simplified management."
"They could improve the graphical user interface."
