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."It is a stable solution with reliable performance."
"The valuable feature of the solution is the technical aspects, focusing on elements like processor infinity."
"You can increase resources with it automatically."
"IBM PowerVM has the highest clock speed."
"Managing other operating systems is also straightforward with IBM PowerVM."
"We always recommend PowerVM to our customers; it is better than most solutions."
"It's in English, so its exceptional qualities make the control environment more flexible, easier, more stable, and easy to recover after issues."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility in terms of managing the hardware resources such as RAM, CPU, and the network."
"The product is easy to manage."
"The level of statistical performance data that it can confirm in real-time is extremely useful. I can see what my VM’s hosts and guests are doing from a single pane of glass and identify issues before they would otherwise become apparent."
"We are suggesting Nutanix to the management because of scalability and time efficiency."
"Prism Central allows managing the cluster from a single pane of glass, and it allows a deeper dive into the solution."
"It is less expensive than VMware products. It is also a little bit more flexible, but it really comes down to price for us."
"The simplicity when it comes to building your own automation has been excellent."
"Karbon is a must-have as it drastically simplifies the deployment of Kubernetes."
"The configuration is easy, and it's flexible."
"The solution is quite pricey."
"Any improvements that can be made in the interface will go a long way to helping us work better."
"IBM PowerVM could improve the price because it is expensive."
"The product's pricing could be less expensive compared to other competitors."
"I don't know whether this has been trialed already, but IBM should give us an alert when we reach seven or eight failovers so that we can automatically switch it to manual mode. That would be great because if we cross the 10-day licensing limit, we have to pay a hefty license cost to Oracle. If IBM could view that feature, it would be helpful in license compliance."
"IBM PowerVM does not integrate with Microsoft."
"To make it a ten, I would like for them to add automation and configuration tools in order to help use the manager."
"The interface is not user-friendly in places, so it could use some improvement."
"The cost of the solution is too expensive. There are other options, such as VMware, that are offered for less money. In Latin America, it seems to be overpriced for the market."
"The licensing cost could be lower."
"The One-Click Upgrade process could/should offer the ability to integrate with 3rd party drivers. For example, we use NVIDIA Grid graphics cards. It would be amazing if, during the One-Click Upgrade process, we could "slipstream" additional VIB drivers for ESXi into the upgrade process."
"The reporting feature isn't very good."
"It's lacking in some features but overcompensating in others."
"This solution offers excellent functionality but could use a stronger interface."
"The latency needs improvement"
"While their overall Nutanix Bible is good, they are lacking good descriptions for particular scenarios that might be helpful to many users."
