We performed a comparison between Citrix Hypervisor and Nutanix AHV Virtualization based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Server Virtualization Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This is a dependable solution for virtualization with a good community for product support."
"The compatibility of the solution is its most valuable feature. It's compatible on almost every cloud these days."
"Citrix Hypervisor does a great job overall, such as the virtualization of the host. It's very easy to manage the virtual machine, to create, and configure high availability."
"The solution is extremely user friendly."
"I've found the following features to be the most valuable: user personalization layer, app layering, provisioning, and notification services for integration between different domains."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is very fast. It also works very well for physically small servers."
"The feature I find most valuable, is its performance"
"The ability to move a virtual machine while it is running is a big advantage."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix AHV is the prism, it is a beneficial central management console."
"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."
"Integration is the most valuable feature of the product."
"The solution scales very well."
"Nutanix AHV works really well. It's much easier to administer and manage than VMware. Since we're not a large IT department within the finance sector, our team is relatively small. We don't have a huge team of IT professionals to manage all the other systems."
"Nutanix is good for new implementations on the VM side. It's very good for disaster recovery and final storage."
"The support is excellent."
"It is the simple non-consideration we get with this product that's great. It just works."
"There are several areas that need improvement including the stability of the networking stack and networking management."
"The built-in networking features are a little limited."
"I would like the possibility of updating the hypervisor by applying security patches."
"The self-service user portal needs to be more granular and be more customizable."
"It can be useful to have a web management program because we have to install our client-server. We have to properly manage the host, if we had administration tools through a web interface it would be a benefit."
"The solution would benefit from faster technical support."
"The product could be faster and licensing options could be improved."
"Overall, I can't think of a feature that is lacking. We've been pretty satisfied overall."
"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."
"It would be better if the solution's replication to another site could be efficiently optimized."
"The integration capabilities of Nutanix AHV Virtualization is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"VMware does tend to have more features than AHV. It's more of the leader in this space."
"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."
"There is no web interface with AHV."
"The solution is very expensive."
"If we have to opt for a high level of capacity planning and need more analytics—like deciding on new purchases or budgeting, or if we need additional resources in the near future—we need to pay for Prism Central. I would suggest that Nutanix improve a bit on the analytics part of Prism Element so we can calculate those kinds of things within that flavor."
