We performed a comparison between Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) and Oracle VM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Nutanix, VMware, Dell Technologies and others in HCI."The most useful aspect is the hyper-converged SD SAN and the ease to expand it by just adding cheap SSD or NVME disks."
"The management and monitoring have been very easy since the solution's dashboard is very simple and user-friendly."
"The top-notch support before, during, and after deployments are better than any other vendor I have come across."
"StarWind vSAN is easy to deploy and administer."
"The Windows-based StarWind GUI is easy to use and understand and integrates seamlessly with VMware's vSphere portal as well."
"The virtual tapes can be uploaded to the object storage of your choice with object locking/governance which gives you an extra layer of protection."
"The license price is one of the cheapest in the market."
"StarWind Virtual SAN is essentially hardware agnostic, allowing us to build out a specific hardware layer based upon the customer's unique requirements."
"A great feature involves real-time hardware changes."
"One of the main features of the solution is that it works on many hypervisors. It is a big advantage. Additionally, the solution is compatible with VMware and Hyper-V, and the management interface, which is called Prism, is very intuitive and user-friendly."
"I have found the solution to be stable."
"The dashboard of Nutanix Acropolis AOS allows for simple management. The dashboard has all the information online about what's going on at any given time."
"Its most valuable feature is simplicity. It is so easy to use. Upgrades are easy. It is easy in terms of disaster recovery, failover, database provisioning, and reporting. Everything about it is just simple."
"One of the most valuable features of Nutanix is that it's easy to use. I love this solution—it's easy to maintain and update, and I think it's almost perfect."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS is easy to use, it is a great platform."
"It has been stable so far."
"Oracle is probably the best database technology out there. I've never found anything as complete in terms of feature and functionality and sophistication."
"Its ease of management and simplicity are most valuable. It is free, and you can provision an unlimited number of VMs at no cost for clients. They also provide perfect support."
"The stability is rock solid."
"The biggest advantage of Oracle VM is that you can separate your clusters to get your licenses agreement in scope."
"Virtualization platform that's easy to set up, and has good scalability and stability."
"The network capabilities are good."
"It's a very flexible solution because you have all the commands that you can do yourself."
"The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"The number of different ways you can set it up can make it a little daunting."
"I would like to see options for automated notifications of any changes, including, for example, synchronization issues."
"I would like to see different levels of support offered."
"Perhaps more reporting features on the utilization, usage, and performance of the configured high-availability images and underlying physical disks would be helpful."
"Currently, the StarWind management console is a bit clunky to navigate and isn't the most user-intuitive interface."
"It would be nice to see a new UI for the windows client, as it is not the easiest to find settings."
"The documentation could be clearer in terms of explaining the installation."
"The system failovers properly on its own without too much worry."
"I would like to see Acropolis add the ability to migrate VMs between storage containers. I don't know if they've added this in the latest versions, but I haven't seen it yet. It's mainly about AHV. When we use VMware, we can move between storage containers. In VMware, it's just like regular storage, and we can move it."
"Notifications could be improved as they're not currently very useful."
"Deployment could be more user-friendly - currently, it requires certain skills with the network and nodes."
"The look and feel of the web GUI of this system needs improvement, when compared to other systems. Its hardware integration also needs improvement."
"The self-service side of the product needs to be improved. We should be able to add two-factor authentication and more security layers to it."
"There is a feature that exists used for disaster recovery, but it requires an extra license. It should be included with the regular normal standard license."
"The productivity and work efficiency of Nutanix Acropolis AOS could improve."
"The compatibility and integration of Nutanix Acropolis AOS could be improved. For example, we have a WAF application firewall and it does not work on this solution. Not all the OS's run on AOS. You need to have a newer version of an operating system if you want Nutanix to perfectly run all the different options."
"Productivity in Oracle VM could still be improved, and an additional feature to make the product better is compatibility with Kubernetes and other modern technologies."
"There have been some security issues in the past."
"The user interface of the version that we have requires improvement. They have already improved the user interface in the latest version, but we are yet to migrate to that. The new UI is much better. I would like it to be simple. It is serving all of our needs, and I don't think it is necessary to keep adding. We are able to provision a VM in ten minutes, and provisioning it in five minutes will not have any added benefit."
"The solution is at its end of life and is about to be discontinued."
"The performance could be better because I need to purchase a lot of CPUs to perform in the workbench."
"The usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"The solution is an outdated Xen-based application."
"I would like to be able to ship all of our logs. This feature could exist and I am just not aware of it."
