Find out what your peers are saying about Proxmox, VMware, Microsoft and others in Server Virtualization Software."It has a vs switch for the people who know Linux, in case it's easier for them to use AHV than it is to use VMware."
"This solution is very stable and it has been running for the last three months, with no issues."
"Nutanix AHV Virtualization is a private cloud platform offering integration with various public cloud providers. This integration allows for a multi-cloud approach. In my opinion, Nutanix AHV Virtualization's strength is its storage. It innovates and excels in the hyper-converged storage segment, making it the number one choice in this area."
"The setup is efficient."
"The support is excellent."
"The entirety of the infrastructure resides in the same product, which makes it easy to troubleshoot and investigate problems."
"The solution is user-friendly and provides good virtual machine backups. The user interface gets updated when there is a new release."
"It's user-friendly."
"Performing a Nutanix software upgrade is a very simple and non-disruptive process."
"The stability is good. This is the number-one product in that regard."
"Some of the most valuable features of Nutanix Acropolis are that it's free from Nutanix and it's very stable."
"The snapshots, cloning, and replication are all effective in helping to reduce downtime. It can replicate cluster data for disaster recovery and it provides high availability in case a node or a disk fails."
"The most valuable features are its ease of use and its good performance."
"In addition to the hyper-converged infrastructure, most of our clients are pleased with Acropolis' built-in replication in terms of the DR setup. Our clients also like Prism Central's advanced management and analytics, and many find Nutanix Flow and playbooks incredibly useful."
"Acropolis AOS's networking concept is excellent."
"The cloud features in-site offering, which I found to be very interesting."
"The integration capabilities of Nutanix AHV Virtualization is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"To face no complications in our company, we had to switch off virtual machines one after the other before heading to Nutanix platform and going to edge services to switch off and turn off everything, making it a challenging process for me."
"When we need to share, publish, or encrypt something, we still need to perform it using the command line."
"I haven't come across any limitations. Nutanix doesn't support externally attached storage through Fibre Channel. However, Nutanix doesn't support Fibre Channel connectivity. This, in my opinion, is a weakness of Nutanix. For instance, it does not support Cyber Talent. To clarify, you cannot connect external Fibre Channel storage or NAS storage resources with Nutanix. However, VMware vSAN supports such solutions."
"A lot of tasks cannot be performed using the GUI, the graphical interface."
"The price of Nutanix AHV Virtualization could improve."
"It worked well in the beginning but after using it for some time, we found some limitations in terms of compatibility with other software."
"It would be better if the solution's replication to another site could be efficiently optimized."
"There is a lot of functionality in Prism Central, but sometimes you want to see those features in Prism Element."
"I'm not very technical, so I don't know if there are any features that are really lacking. Our customers seem pleased with it, and I haven't heard of any downsides."
"We could always use a performance upgrade, or simplified management."
"I feel like the flow chart and the automated processes have some room for improvement. They're nearly there, and the rest is fine. They've improved a lot over the past few years."
"We would like to see a cloud version of Acropolis AOS. Currently, we're trying to implement an AWS environment for some solutions, but we would like to use another technology also to enhance our organization, so we are looking for another technology for this, especially a cloud solution."
"I would like to see official compatibility with Red Hat in the future."
"Nutanix has a complex infrastructure, we have customers that consider VMware instead. Additionally, the performance could be better."
"The name of the solutions offered by Nutanix does not indicate what the tool does."
