"The most valuable features are the user-friendly dashboard and that we don't need to move resources manually when adding new nodes into running clusters."
"We like that the size of the box is 1U or 2U only, and all the servers are fit into that box. The ease of operation is there. All the servers and the SAN storage are inside the box."
"It has a user-friendly dashboard and interface."
"The simplicity when it comes to building your own automation has been excellent."
"It's easy to use and has a very smooth onboarding process."
"Technical support is okay."
"VMware Software Defined Storage gives higher availability against data corruption."

"The single management panel is the main feature that is wonderful for the customer."
"The best part of the solution is that you can actually scale up to a large number of operating systems without additional hardware."
"I would like to see a fuller integration with the public cloud. It would help the user enter the hybrid cloud infrastructure."
"The storage and back-up facilities could be improved. We need day-to-day encrypting of the database."
"Limits on increasing space with the inability to have or attach external storage."
"I would like to see Acropolis add the ability to migrate VMs between storage containers. I don't know if they've added this in the latest versions, but I haven't seen it yet. It's mainly about AHV. When we use VMware, we can move between storage containers. In VMware, it's just like regular storage, and we can move it."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure's LTS version needs to be more reliable."
"When we have issues with the solution, they tend to be around networking."
"While their overall Nutanix Bible is good, they are lacking good descriptions for particular scenarios that might be helpful to many users."
"AHV is a great hypervisor but still limited compared to VMware. AHV is the one product they must improve."
"The performance is not as good as some competing products and reporting can be improved."
"I'd like to see improved hardware compatibility"
"It doesn't have the ability to be deployed on any kind of hardware and network connectors."
"VMware Software Defined Storage should include a shared database on a standard version."
