We'd like Nutanix to be more flexible in the future. You need to have VM Tools configured with the VM guest host. Without VM Tools, you can't use Move.
The solution can be improved by adding the ability to see all the virtual machines running in a cluster without having to enter the specific name of the host or its IP address. It can't migrate virtual appliances that are proprietary because it does not have access to the source code and does not know what modifications have been made.

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.
Cloud Migration Software is a category of tools designed to facilitate the seamless transition of applications, data, and infrastructure from on-premises environments to cloud platforms. These solutions offer a range of features and capabilities to simplify and automate the migration process, ensuring minimal disruption and downtime. Key solutions within this category include:
- Discovery and assessment tools: Identify and analyze existing on-premises resources to determine their suitability...
They should have some tools to migrate the workload from another Nutanix platform.
Nutanix Move could be made more scalable, so you could do more instead of taking five or ten VMs at a time.
