Find out what your peers are saying about Proxmox, VMware, Microsoft and others in Server Virtualization Software."This is a dependable solution for virtualization with a good community for product support."
"Scripting can automate procedures."
"I find it very easy to manage and at a cost that small customers would never refuse (free)."
"The solution is easy to deploy. It's very easy to understand problems and read logs."
"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 solution is extremely stable."
"What I like the most is the support of the GPU Graphics and the VM Live migration."
"This solution allows the end users to clone, start, stop, or remotely control their VMs."
"Ease of deployment"
"Ability to create multiple VMs."
"There are a lot of features in Nutanix that are different from other hyper-converged solutions, such as site-to-site replication. VM-based site-to-site replication is bundled with the software licensing. For the DR, it has the availability groups, which is one of the key features that Nutanix provides."
"It is all-in-one. The compute processing, storage, and network altogether make it convenient. We don't have to have different modules for expansion."
"In general, being able to patch and not having to pay for SanDisk is the best thing about hyper-converged."
"I definitely find the reduced power consumption very valuable. Another aspect I really like, when one compares Citrix to VMware, is the interface where you talk directly to your VM from the present software."
"The initial setup was quite straightforward."
"It is less expensive than VMware products. It is also a little bit more flexible, but it really comes down to price for us."
"Live migration is something that can be improved."
"The interface has to be updated."
"It needs to have a more robust backup solution."
"The main problem with Citrix Hypervisor is getting readily available backup solutions for it. It would be wonderful if Hypervisor were better integrated with third-party backup solutions."
"Citrix could provide more tools to help the client manage the solution because we need to build our own tools in some cases. Everything is available through PowerShell, but then you need to build your own scripts to do the more advanced work."
"The solution would benefit from faster technical support."
"The self-service user portal needs to be more granular and be more customizable."
"There are several areas that need improvement including the stability of the networking stack and networking management."
"Native File-Services are under heavy development and Container Services just came out."
"The productivity and work efficiency of Nutanix Acropolis AOS could improve."
"The patch updates of Nutanix Acropolis could be improved. I'm work on the corporate side, but I get feedback from our IT team that patch updates and other updates are taking a significantly longer time. This definitely needs to be resolved. We are in discussion with Nutanix regarding certain configuration issues we are having, so maybe something can be changed to ease these patch updates."
"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 reporting section of the dashboard could be improved to include more detailed reporting about the servers."
"The product could be improved with more security. The product needs a bit more experience in the market. I think you don't have the possibility to add other hardware. It could be improved with the ability to add and extend."
"Nutanix should improve AHV to support migration VMs between clusters and storage containers. Migration between containers is possible, but it requires shutting down the VM. The procedure is long and there is no migration between clusters at all."
"There could be better support for high power ESX and other cross platform applications."
