Find out in this report how the two Server Virtualization Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is very fast. It also works very well for physically small servers."
"The solution is easy to deploy. It's very easy to understand problems and read logs."
"The feature I find most valuable, is its performance"
"The ability to move a virtual machine while it is running is a big advantage."
"The continued uptime of our virtual machines is good."
"Citrix Hypervisor integrates easily and I can manage the infrastructure better. If I need to take a machine down to expand the hard drive, I do not have to physically be here. I do not need to order new equipment or new hard drives. I can shut it down, increase the drive space and bring it back up."
"The solution is extremely user friendly."
"Installing Hypervisor is really simple. It's the simplest setup I've ever done before. We used a team to deploy it, and it doesn't take much time, like two or three hours tops."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix AHV Virtualization is the user-friendly environment. The integration, implementation, and training for the solution are good."
"The setup is efficient."
"In terms of features, Acropolis is a good virtualization manager and that it is on-premise. I use almost every technology they provide."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that you don't need to pay for it, it's free, as opposed to paying for a VMware license."
"The most valuable part of Nutanix is its centralized management of everything."
"You don't need any other instruments for control, AHV. You only need to look at the prism to control all infrastructure."
"This product stands out for its user-friendly interface, intuitive design, and responsive UI. It offers AVH features comparable to Nutanix but at a more cost-effective price point."
"We'd like them to add more automation to the product."
"It needs improvement with the security features."
"The solution should be more flexible and allow for greater customization."
"The solution is only in English. It would be ideal if it was in Portuguese."
"Assigning the order of virtual server startup is not very easy and this can be improved."
"The solution needs better backup facilities that are available for virtual machines to create servers on."
"Live migration is something that can be improved."
"I think the technical support could be better."
"If you have the need for special hardware like FibreChannel-Cards or such and there is no networked-way around it (such as you could work with USB Dongles via an HW-Dongle-Server of network), you have to use a separate hypervisor."
"The licensing costs are a little bit expensive."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see support for containerization."
"The software based controller has high consumption. This could be improved."
"When we need to share, publish, or encrypt something, we still need to perform it using the command line."
"In terms of improvement, I think that they could have more partnerships with providers."
"Lacks integration with the cloud or other solutions."
"The technical support for this solution needs to be improved in terms of response time."
