Find out what your peers are saying about Proxmox, VMware, Microsoft and others in Server Virtualization Software."The most valuable feature is that it is user-friendly and easy to use."
"Hyper-V's technical support is good - they're responsive and sort cases based on criticality and category, so they get dealt with quickly and by the correct team."
"It is easy to use, and it is stable. It is a good solution."
"I find that most of the competition is more or less the same. However, Hyper-V is, when you compare it to the older platforms like VMware, a little bit more advanced at this stage."
"Live migration, SMB3."
"Hyper-V improved the infrastructure drastically, not only from a performance perspective but from a control/administration view as well."
"Microsoft's a good name for legacy support and solutions"
"The initial setup was very easy."
"Karbon is a must-have as it drastically simplifies the deployment of Kubernetes."
"The stability is good. This is the number-one product in that regard."
"The management interface of this solution is great."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS makes it easy to use and manage projects and it has a good reputation."
"I have found the solution to be stable."
"The best feature of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is the central management of all of our resources. Additionally, it is easy to use"
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS is flexible and has helped people to work from home during the pandemic."
"The hyperconvergence service, as well as the DR solution, are game-changers for Nutanix."
"It would be nice if it was turned into its own product because that's the problem with it. It doesn't have a single place where you can manage things. You have to go into all different screens to be able to configure it. And then you have no idea what the performance is. It's really just a feature added to Windows, and Microsoft does not really have anything that pulls it all together well. Compared to VMware, it does not have everything collaborate on one screen."
"Hyper-V requires improvement with manageability."
"In an upcoming release, they can improve by having better cloud integration. We are all moving towards the clouds and the integration is only through the Azure Stack, there should be tools built in to move the VMs natively to the cloud and infrastructure. Additionally, they could provide some form of multi-cloud integration."
"I think the setup for the Virtual Network Manager could be improved."
"The the only challenge for us was moving existing physical machines to virtual machines."
"In general, based on my little experience with Hyper-V, I see a lot of obstacles. I think it falls behind the other competitors."
"Storage via SMB3."
"When it comes to Hyper-V the worst thing is it's based on the Windows operating system. For the installation of Hyper-V, you're supposed to install the right operating system. For me, it's strange."
"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."
"There is a need is to be able to consume Nutanix storage from outside the cluster for other, non-Nutanix workloads."
"Areas for improvement would be the memory setting and the CPU setting reserve features, which are not available on Acropolis. I also feel that the DR solution, the reporting, and the component that is combined with the Nutanix OSP need to be improved."
"We'd like to have more resource management."
"I would like better integration of XenServer into the AOS and Prism Central."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with external storage using the fiber channel"
"In the licensing, it needs to be clear about features because it is not clear whether Flow is integrated or not."
"The product requires a lot of resources."
