We performed a comparison between Nutanix AHV Virtualization and Oracle VM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 part of Nutanix is its centralized management of everything."
"The setup is efficient."
"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."
"Nutanix AHV Virtualization has good performance and can be used for backup and disaster."
"The entirety of the infrastructure resides in the same product, which makes it easy to troubleshoot and investigate problems."
"The feature that has had the most impact is data locality. That is a feature that makes Nutanix different from other hypervisors. It helps us to get application performance that is probably double what we got with the legacy, three-tier architecture."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix AHV Virtualization is the user-friendly environment. The integration, implementation, and training for the solution are good."
"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"I like Oracle VM's vMotion and cloning features."
"The stability of the product is fine."
"The Foundation is the most valuable feature of Oracle VM."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"Cloning is the best feature in Oracle VM."
"Its technical support is quite good."
"The ability to live migrate VMs on the fly from one hypervisor to another has been very useful."
"It should focus on providing more detailed and helpful error messages. One area we'd like to see enhanced is better support for guest VMs, especially in a heterogeneous environment."
"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."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see support for containerization."
"Lacks integration with the cloud or other solutions."
"An improvement would be for Nutanix AHV to support VMDK, AOS, Hyper-V, and VMware."
"The technical support for this solution needs to be improved in terms of response time."
"It worked well in the beginning but after using it for some time, we found some limitations in terms of compatibility with other software."
"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."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"The only improvement needed for Oracle VM is the look and feel of the interface."
"I've found that using Oracle VM is like stepping back in time. It's not kept up with technology. The only reason anyone uses it is that they're afraid of Oracle's licensing. Oracle has a tremendously bad licensing approach."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"There have been some security issues in the past."
"You need to have a model for documentation available for the users. Right now, if you have to search for some troubleshooting, you need to have Oracle login. Many personnel might not have that login. The reach, the availability of information to the end-user, is not there."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"If you do a gap analysis between VMware and Oracle VM, you can't do VM Snapshot. That's one thing you can't do. It's a sort of a snapshot, but it's not really Snapshot technology. It requires that you're running on CFS-2."
