We performed a comparison between Nutanix AHV Virtualization and RHEV 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 feature of Nutanix AHV is that it can be managed through Hyper-V, which is Microsoft's hypervisor, VMware, and Citrix XenServer."
"The storage features and volume system are great."
"It's user-friendly."
"The interface is very good, and quite user-friendly."
"It is a stable solution. I haven't faced stability issues in the solution."
"This product stands out for its user-friendly interface, intuitive design, and responsive UI. It offers AVH features comparable to Nutanix but at a more cost-effective price point."
"This solution is very stable and it has been running for the last three months, with no issues."
"Integration is the most valuable feature of the product."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"Customers are moving to open source and Red Hat is the leader in this particular space. I think customers feel more confident running Red Hat Virtualization than VMware."
"It's a scalable solution."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"The software based controller has high consumption. This could be improved."
"Lacks integration with the cloud or other solutions."
"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."
"Nutanix misses alerts sometimes."
"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."
"If we have to opt for a high level of capacity planning and need more analytics—like deciding on new purchases or budgeting, or if we need additional resources in the near future—we need to pay for Prism Central. I would suggest that Nutanix improve a bit on the analytics part of Prism Element so we can calculate those kinds of things within that flavor."
"In terms of improvement, I think that they could have more partnerships with providers."
"The initial installation is complex. It took approximately four days."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"We hope that Red Hat can produce a paradigm edition. We are looking for paradigm computing and paradigm storage. Its scalability can be improved. It is not easy to scale, and we hope that Red Hat can provide a more scalable system. They should also provide local service and support. Our customers are looking for a good software vendor to provide professional services."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"This solution could be more secure."
