Can migrate workloads in just a click
The automated migration feature is the most effective. It automates the whole process, like installation from VMware to Nutanix AHV cluster. It retains the IP and MAC addresses of VMs and cleans up migrated VMs by removing VMware tools from the source. The automated migration is seamless - when we do the cutover, Nutanix Move powers off the source VM and automatically powers on the virtual machine on the Nutanix cluster. There's also a manual method for workloads that can't be migrated automatically, like Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008, which might not have the required PowerShell version. In these cases, we can still migrate using data migration only, but the engineer has to do more work, like reassigning IP and MAC addresses.

Provides users with an initial setup phase, which is fairly simple to manage
I don't know what could be improved in terms of what my company was used to previously or after moving over to Rivery. I have not had much experience with platforms other than Rivery. For me, Rivalry was a way to step up from what we used. To be honest, I am not really sure what improvements could be made in Rivery. Pricing is a little steep for smaller organizations, I would say. The product's pricing model could be a little bit better. I am not aware if there are additional packages for smaller organizations, but if there are no packages available, then maybe that would be a good way to introduce something new in the tool.

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Move is its simplicity."
"The solution is stable."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"The automated migration feature is the most effective. It automates the whole process, like installation from VMware to Nutanix AHV cluster. It retains the IP and MAC addresses of VMs and cleans up migrated VMs by removing VMware tools from the source. The automated migration is seamless - when we do the cutover, Nutanix Move powers off the source VM and automatically powers on the virtual machine on the Nutanix cluster."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"We can change the hypervisor without any downtime."
"The easy migration is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Move is how simple it is and the benefit of what it does."
"The solution's most valuable features are that it is quick to connect and simple to use."
"Connects to many APIs in the market and new ones are being added all the time."
 

Cons

"We can migrate from Hyper-V to Acropolis, but we can't move from Acropolis back to Hyper-V. However, we do not have customers who want to, but if we could reassure them that it was possible it would be better. Having our Hyper-V customers have a two-way option that may help. A customer would like to hear that if they do switch they can switch back. I know it's a limitation on Hyper-V but not a limitation on VMware."
"When you have regular questions, like how do I do something in the tool or when you want to know when can I do anything in the product, the solution's support team can take around three to four days to give you an answer, or they may even sometimes take more time."
"We'd like Nutanix to be more flexible in the future."
"Nutanix Move could be made more scalable, so you could do more instead of taking five or ten VMs at a time."
"They should have some tools to migrate the workload from another Nutanix platform."
"We cannot use the solution to move a machine from Nutanix to other hypervisors."
"The most valuable feature is the automation. The solution will clone the data that you want to migrate, shut down the virtual machine, disconnect it from the network and start the clone virtual machine inside the solution's platform."
"I think Nutanix Move could be improved by adding a way to retry failed migrations. Sometimes when seeding fails, there's no way to redo it without recreating the whole migration plan. I'd like a button to restart the process without creating a migration plan."
"Pricing is a little steep for smaller organizations, I would say. The product's pricing model could be a little bit better."
"Lineage and an impact analysis or logic dependency are lacking."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is available for free."
"The solution is open-source."
"The tool is bundled as part of the Nutanix license."
"It is a free tool."
"I rate the tool's price as six out of ten if I consider the lowest price to be one and the highest price to be ten."
