Nutanix Move Reviews

I use the solution to migrate workloads between different places like Nutanix, Azure, and AWS.

The automated migration feature is the most effective. It automates the whole process, like installation from VMware to Nutanix AHV cluster. It retains the IP and MAC addresses of VMs and cleans up migrated VMs by removing VMware tools from the source. The automated migration is seamless - when we do the cutover, Nutanix Move powers off the source VM and automatically powers on the virtual machine on the Nutanix cluster.

There's also a manual method for workloads that can't be migrated automatically, like Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008, which might not have the required PowerShell version. In these cases, we can still migrate using data migration only, but the engineer has to do more work, like reassigning IP and MAC addresses.

We use Nutanix Move for converting from VMware to AHV or from VMware to Nutanix AHV.

Nutanix Move helped us get away from the three-tier monolithic infrastructure of VMware and everything that comes with that. It's a very smooth tool. You point Nutanix Move to your VMware environment, pick the VMs you want, and it does all the work for you.

We used the tool once when migrating our infrastructure from VMware to Nutanix. We have multiple options if we buy Nutanix. We can either go for VMware or Nutanix AHV. Nutanix AHV is Nutanix's proprietary hypervisor. We chose Nutanix AHV and used Nutanix Move to migrate our VMware-based machines to Nutanix Clusters.

We can migrate our infrastructure while it is running in production. We can change the hypervisor without any downtime. The product is fully automated. We select a machine we want to move, and the system copies everything in the background and informs us when the machine is ready to move. When we click to move, the product will shut down the machine on vCenter and turn it on on Nutanix. It is 100% automated.

The process can be done in the background without any downtime. The time it takes the machine to boot is the only downtime we experience. Generally, a 1TB machine might take two to three hours to move from one hypervisor to another. With Nutanix Move, we can move the machine within seconds. Everything is done while the service is available.

I use the solution in my company for P2V, migration of clusters, transfers, and availability zones.

Everything is good in the solution, and I feel that Nutanix Move is doing things the right way.

The solution is used for VM migration from vCenter.

The easy migration is the most valuable feature. 

We use Nutanix Move for the migration of tools from VMware to Nutanix.

Nutanix Move is a fantastic product for migrating VMware to Nutanix, et cetera. This is a migration tool that allows us to migrate live without downtime. 

It integrates well with VMware, and you can use it with Microsoft Hyper-V.

There are no dependencies in Nutanix.

The pricing is fantastic. 

It is easy to set up the solution. 

Simple, knowledgeable people can do the setup to migrate from VMware or Hyper-V to Nutanix.

It's stable. 

The solution is used to migrate virtual machines from different hypervisors.

The most valuable feature is the automation. The solution will clone the data that you want to migrate, shut down the virtual machine, disconnect it from the network and start the clone virtual machine inside the solution's platform.

Most of our customers are currently on Hyper-V or VMware and they are interested in moving to Acropolis Hypervisor, and we use Nutanix Move for the migration. We have never had to move someone from Acropolis Hypervisor. It's always the way around.

Nutanix Move has changed helped in making the painful process of migrating from one hypervisor to another better. It is a painful process of rebuilding virtual machines and migrating data. We can now migrate the entire VMD key to Acropolis Hypervisor.
