We performed a comparison between Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) and Proxmox VE based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI.
"The support team is available to solve any problem efficiently."
"We have experienced multiple hardware failures at one site and the fault-tolerant volume worked exactly as expected with zero downtime."
"Ten gigabit Ethernet compatibility, support, ease of use, and management are some positive features."
"The fact that we can expand our storage and add on to our compute nodes easily and how amazing the StarWind technical support team is really adding value to our purchase."
"Immediately we noticed huge performance gains, even on older hardware and once we implemented a 10GB link between both servers, the sync was near-instant after the initial sync was complete."
"Their support staff is comprised of true experts who can also communicate clearly."
"This solution has a very good user interface, with simple administration/management."
"StarWind vSAN is a great solution to create a redundant two-node-only Hyper-V cluster, both for domain or workgroup scenarios."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS makes it easy to use and manage projects and it has a good reputation."
"It is 100% stable. It's the most stable infrastructure that we have."
"The administration console, automation, and the first cluster are all valuable features."
"They have one of the best technical supports in my experience."
"Acropolis AOS is scalable to nodes and the cloud."
"Being able to upgrade our entire cluster with the click of a button during business hours with zero downtime has made managing our infrastructure so easy."
"The hyperconvergence service, as well as the DR solution, are game-changers for Nutanix."
"It's been a stable solution."
"The solution's maintenance part was very easy."
"I have a program on my old machine with 380 events, but I need to create new events. This is much easier to do with VFXTHs, and I have the skills to do it. I also have two VPNs running on the old machine, which I can use to get started."
"It is a community-based solution."
"It fits in well with our organization. It works and does what it says it does."
"Less infrastructure required; simple to use."
"It allows us to create an individual VM along with the GPU for machine learning."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is that its storage container, LVM, and everything else work out of the box."
"High availability for direct attached hardware drives could be useful for increasing the performance of a storage appliance."
"Although minor, some of the documentation could be rewritten to be clearer."
"The StarWind Management Console is available only for Microsoft Windows/Windows Server, and should also be available for Linux and macOS, as it would reduce implementation costs."
"Some of the documentation seems to be a bit older and refers to deprecated items."
"We have, in rare cases, received conflicting guidance between different support folks within StarWind."
"The console is something that I believe could be enhanced."
"A better overall view of the different deployments could be beneficial, although this is difficult due to how flexible the solution is."
"Regular updates to the software are required, and subtle design changes would be welcome."
"Lacks sufficient integration with other vendors and public clouds."
"The ability to create clusters faster would be nice to see in a future release."
"It would be ideal if it was more secure."
"The price could be lower."
"Our client had some old Citrix Xen servers for which there is no direct migration. Nutanix has a move utility for Microsoft Hyper-V clusters or VMware clusters. You can easily migrate them using the move utility, but the Xen clusters cannot be migrated in a simple way. That is the only thing that is lacking, but nowadays, no one uses the Citrix Xen server for their clusters. Everything else is already there. Nutanix keeps on upgrading its hardware's or hypervisor's capability to be able to support new technologies."
"To have internal stability, we needed to network the solution ourselves. Performance depends on the application. Performance could be the lack of IOPS, memory and CPU and configuration issues."
"The licenses for Nutanix are very complicated."
"The self-service side of the product needs to be improved. We should be able to add two-factor authentication and more security layers to it."
"The solution should include some features that can help with converting raw files into different formats. It should offer better management around raw files."
"I would like to see more monitoring in the next release of this solution."
"One issue with Proxmox is that some processes are not automatic. For some processes, you have to do it manually by command line."
"The documentation in Proxmox VE could improve."
"The only disadvantage of Proxmox VE is that it is a young solution so it does have some bugs."
"It could have more security updates such as when a new threat is coming into market."
"The facility of deployment is an area that needs to improve."
"The availability of the solution could be a bit better."
