We performed a comparison between Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) and RHEV based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Nutanix, VMware and others in HCI."The failover protection and the ability to expand storage and nodes with no downtime are by far the best physical features we have benefited from."
"This solution enables us to make better cost-effective use of our existing hardware and leverage the current infrastructure at a higher level than we could before."
"Their support goes above and beyond with the integration of their software."
"StarWind vSAN is easy to deploy and administer."
"The software is easy to setup and manage, and the support is excellent."
"The customer support provided by StarWind is excellent."
"It provides shared storage to multiple hypervisor hosts. Times had changed, however. StarWind Virtual SAN is the “software replaces hardware” for SAN. We have access control and CCTV systems up and running using Microsoft clustering and shared storage"
"Besides being 80% cheaper than the other alternatives, the simplicity makes reconfiguration and support much easier."
"In general, being able to patch and not having to pay for SanDisk is the best thing about hyper-converged."
"One of the most valuable features that can be found, is the inclusion of a hypervisor for free."
"It is easy to use. One of the things they have as a design goal is to reduce complexity and simplify things."
"I have found the solution to be stable."
"Ability to create multiple VMs."
"Their Google operating system is more mature, so their results are much better."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is its software Move, which we use to migrate virtual info from another platform to the Nutanix platform."
"Best features are around data locality, compression, and deduplication."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"It is very stable."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"I would like to see improvements in the documentation area."
"There needs to be more visibility on how long the cloud replication will take as there is no current ETA."
"Performance when in storage-separate configuration needs to be improved."
"There is no IPv6 support. That is our only issue at this time."
"I would like to see an extensive set of cmdlets that could allow for easier automation as well as status management."
"Maybe in the future, the replication will be supported in more cloud providers."
"In the next release, they could make some graphs of the real-time loading, speed of storage, and interfaces. Of course, these can be viewed in other places. But, in the event of a malfunction or troubleshooting, this would be convenient."
"If there was one thing we could request, it would be the ability to shrink volumes. For example, we want to be able to decrease in the size of the volume."
"I'm not very technical, so I don't know if there are any features that are really lacking. Our customers seem pleased with it, and I haven't heard of any downsides."
"I would like to see them utilize the spare storage that they use as a redundant space. I feel that now a lot of resources are wasted just for standby purposes because we are using data protection. Instead of utilizing those resources only when something happens, they can have an alternative so that we can utilize these resources all the time."
"The product requires a lot of resources."
"As Nutanix Acropolis AOS is on the expensive side, one of its areas for improvement is the price. It would also be better if it can be integrated with other cloud providers, because currently, it's only for private cloud deployment."
"The documentation could be improved."
"The initial setup can be a bit difficult."
"The licensing cost could be lower."
"I would like better integration of XenServer into the AOS and Prism Central."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"RHEV can improve by keeping pace with new features and new enhancements. They should not be halted or delayed innovation because over the past quarter the enhancements have not been as fast as they have been previously."
"When we do a direct comparison, then obviously VMware does better in terms of having Fault Tolerance and doing active disaster recovery and these kind of things. This is something that can be improved within Red Hat."
"This solution could be more secure."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
