We performed a comparison between IBM PowerVM 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 case fileserver on the web server is the most valuable feature."
"The tool's performance is top-notch."
"The valuable feature of the solution is the technical aspects, focusing on elements like processor infinity."
"IBM PowerVM's most valuable feature is stability."
"The feature that I like most is the versatility."
"It is a stable solution with reliable performance."
"We always recommend PowerVM to our customers; it is better than most solutions."
"IBM PowerVM has the highest clock speed."
"I like NCI's dashboard. If there are any infrastructure issues, we'll get alerts inside the dashboard. NCI provides a single platform for managing all of our databases. We are running SQL and Linux databases."
"The most valuable feature is the one-click to update the firmware and software."
"The most valuable feature I have found to be the Acropolis Hypervisor (AHV)."
"Acropolis AOS is scalable to nodes and the cloud."
"The solution is well integrated with other vendors."
"Performing a Nutanix software upgrade is a very simple and non-disruptive process."
"The ease of deployment is very good."
"The scalability, performance, and licensing model are the most valuable features."
"The product's pricing could be less expensive compared to other competitors."
"The program has very limited solutions for the virtualization of containers"
"I would like for IBM to be more focuses on the cloud."
"IBM should review the price of this solution in my opinion; it is too high."
"If it could actually virtualize the entire platform it might be better. If you're having more than one virtualization technology, maybe there's a way to actually have less - one technology to run the data center and maybe one special virtualization for power. If it integrated with other platforms more effectively it might be better."
"To make it a ten, I would like for them to add automation and configuration tools in order to help use the manager."
"IBM PowerVM does not integrate with Microsoft."
"SRM for site recovery is a feature that should be included."
"I would like to see a fuller integration with the public cloud. It would help the user enter the hybrid cloud infrastructure."
"One of the improvements I would like to have is related to naming. It is getting confusing because they are using three-letter acronyms, which are more or less misleading. What I do not like is that they changed names and reused names. They had a meaning in the past and they are still using the names for something similar."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure's LTS version needs to be more reliable."
"We could always use a performance upgrade, or simplified management."
"The GUI of Nutanix Acropolis AOS could be improved that can be done from the OEM side. It's a very basic stable web browser that they're using. It is not very inclusive."
"One thing to keep in mind is that only experts can use it. It has to be in the proper hands, instead of going to XYZ people just for some cost savings. So lift-and-shift and migrations might be tricky, because it is not like a VMware."
"The compatibility and integration of Nutanix Acropolis AOS could be improved. For example, we have a WAF application firewall and it does not work on this solution. Not all the OS's run on AOS. You need to have a newer version of an operating system if you want Nutanix to perfectly run all the different options."
"If they can simplify the software slightly for the installation, that would make all the difference."
