Zack Baraci - PeerSpot reviewer
High availability and user-friendly interface enhance manageability
I primarily use the core features of Nutanix AHV Virtualization ( /products/nutanix-ahv-virtualization-reviews ) at the moment. The high availability (HA), replication, and site-to-site replication are quite useful. Additionally, the usual hypervisor management functionalities are beneficial. Nutanix AHV Virtualization delivers a system that is very manageable, with a well-designed user interface. It is easier to manage than VMware in some ways, providing a good level of interaction.
Ramon Ruiz - PeerSpot reviewer
Significant backup for containers, but the customer service is terrible
Anyone considering this solution should not compare it to the old versions. They should be a partner with Virtuozzo and run all the certifications. Also, they need a good lab to understand the technology and how they can apply that technology conveniently. This is very commercial software. It does not have support, so you will need to be hands-on. I would rate Odin Virtuozzo a six out of 10 overall.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"Nutanix AHV's most valuable feature is the one-click upgrade capability."
"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"The solution scales very well."
"Nutanix is good for new implementations on the VM side. It's very good for disaster recovery and final storage."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix AHV is the prism, it is a beneficial central management console."
"The dashboard of the solution is one of its strongest points."
"You don't need any other instruments for control, AHV. You only need to look at the prism to control all infrastructure."
"When you run templates on the containers on Virtuozzo they have a lot of back-ups."
 

Cons

"Nutanix misses alerts sometimes."
"It would be better if the solution's replication to another site could be efficiently optimized."
"Honestly, there's a lot to work on the product, especially for someone like me who has worked on VMware. VMware offers a significant level of customization when configuring virtual machines, and that level of detail is not as pronounced on Nutanix AHV Virtualization."
"Although AHV has many advantages, some drawbacks need to be mentioned. Compared to established hypervisors like VMware ESXi or Microsoft Hyper-V, AHV has a limited ecosystem and smaller community support."
"If you want to install a specific operating system, you must first check to see if it is listed in the compatibility list; only then will you be able to install it, and that is one issue for now."
"They need to work on the deployment of virtual machines. They need to streamline the process of templates and deploying virtual machines."
"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."
"The integration capabilities of Nutanix AHV Virtualization is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"Odin Virtuozzo has poor support and needs to improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing depends upon the licenses, considering the number of devices."
"The price of the solution can always be lower. However, the price of the solution is reasonable."
"We don't have to pay extra for Acropolis because it is built into Nutanix."
"Nutanix AHV Virtualization is expensive. I rate it a six out of ten."
"AHV licensing is often included in the Nutanix HCI package."
"They should make the product more competitive by working on their licensing model. Lowering the price would help make it more affordable."
"The solution's pricing is cheap for a new customer but becomes expensive during renewal."
"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is costly. I don't think there are any extra costs in addition to the standard licensing fees of the solution."
"The license for Odin Virtuozzo is based on consumption on demand."
