"Recently, I have had quite a few issues with Nutanix Guest Tools (NGT). When you do a full update from LCM, your NGT doesn't automatically install on your VMs. You need to go back to Prism Central and select a list of VMs, then install NGT. You need to go to each of those VMs, then restart them to get the NGT installed. Also, there are some VMs that we have on our system that we used to run on an old environment, which was Hyper-V. Previously, we had VMware, so some of our VMs are Windows 7 32-bit and Windows 7 64-bit. However, the NGT no longer allows for installations on those."
"It could maybe have better documentation. Nutanix does have really good documentation, but it could have more details in the future."
"I would like to see a desktop application for administration of the solution. That's the thing I missed the most. Other solutions have a client that you can install on your computer. You can actually connect to and do the administration from an application instead of using a web portal, which is what Nutanix provides."
"I would like to see it be able to apply a category to a project, and then have that category applied to all the VMs that are deployed within a project."
"Nutanix has room for improvement around the partner tools and making them approachable and easier to learn."
"We have faced some issues during operations, but when we log a case with Nutanix support, they help us to resolve them."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"There are some load-balancing features that are currently missing in the flow network security and could potentially be added in the future."
"It would be a good idea for VMware to be compatible with the most popular orchestration tools in the market."
"There are some kinks to resolve with the Web GUI user interface, as it freezes at times."
"I would like it if they could provide their customers with more qualified support."
"It's not always easy to find the information you need. You must have a lot of technical experience to find the right location for what you're implementing within the program."
"Better integration with other VMware toolsets would be beneficial."
"The product needs some investment in configuration. I would like to see better and more optimized configuration in the tool's future releases."
"I would like to have an easy way of modifying the reference data that is used for the purposes of estimating the total billing."
"The pricing model is complicated and would be more predictable if it were simplified."
