TAIYAB HASAN - PeerSpot reviewer
Windows Redhat Linux Vmware & Azure & Cloud & Nutanix Ahv-Vmware & Backup Senior System Administrator at AlDawaa Medical Services
Has provided seamless virtualization and centralized control with strong security and reliable performance
I find almost every feature of Nutanix AHV Virtualization useful, as it's a very nice HCI solution from Nutanix. AHV is their native product, so it's very integrated with all the hardware they provide. Integration is very nice with the baseline hardware. We are using all built-in security features of Nutanix AHV Virtualization, which include encryption. It is very effective in protecting our VMs, and it is very secure. The impact of AHV, such as micro-segmentation, is very effective for us and it's working as per our requirements. We are very happy with the features. Role-Based Access is also a very nice feature for us to define to whom to give admin access and to whom to give read-only access. This kind of authentication helps us distribute tasks within the teams. Using Nutanix AHV Virtualization in a single management pane is very important to me, as it allows us to see everything related to our hardware, software, servers, and VMs from one console. We can reach everything from this one console, which provides a nice inside view for our software, hardware applications, server details, issues, alerts, or any unwanted activity. We are using the non-disruptive operations feature because Nutanix AHV Virtualization is in our production environment, and this feature helps us perform any activity without any downtime.

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

"One of the most valuable aspects is that it is open source."
"It's user-friendly."
"Everyone that's moved their machines onto that platform says they are amazed by the performance."
"This solution has very good feedback from our customers in terms of the benefits that it provides."
"Using AHV, we have a built-in VR solution. It operates using a reduplication-based unique package transfer process."
"The product has helped consolidate a lot of my workload."
"The solution is user-friendly and provides good virtual machine backups. The user interface gets updated when there is a new release."
"Nutanix AHV's most valuable feature is NetFlow, and its performance and speed are also very good."
"When you run templates on the containers on Virtuozzo they have a lot of back-ups."
 

Cons

"I would like to see better decompression or degrouping of the VMs so that we can use a single number of SQLs with two servers. We don't need a huge number of DXSPs."
"The management console needs to improve to make it easier for administrators."
"There is room for improvement in the USB mapping."
"Lacks integration with the cloud or other solutions."
"My storage use is doubled; if I am creating a one TB virtual machine then my storage policy will take two TB from my cluster."
"It's not a very scalable product."
"A lot of tasks cannot be performed using the GUI, the graphical interface."
"For the moment, the graphic user interface is not good, and it needs to be improved."
"Odin Virtuozzo has poor support and needs to improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Nutanix AHV costs less than VMware vSphere."
"Nutanix AHV is low cost."
"If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the price as two out of ten. There are no additional costs attached to the tool."
"The price of the solution is fair and if you want support there are additional fees."
"The pricing depends upon the licenses, considering the number of devices."
"The licenses are perpetual, which means they don't expire. Even if we don't have support or don't renew the support service after three years, we will still be able to use the solution."
"Nutanix AHV Virtualization is expensive. I rate it a six out of ten."
"We don't have to pay extra for Acropolis because it is built into Nutanix."
"The license for Odin Virtuozzo is based on consumption on demand."
