We performed a comparison between Azure Stack and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Azure Active Directory is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"It's a good and cost effective solution for any organization. We can deploy the tech solution on premises and also in the cloud."
"I appreciate that all the tools are available natively within Azure. It's all set up nicely. It's all minor."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of deployment for services such as SSH, creating a web site, and Azure billing services to measure the consumption of resources."
"The beauty of Azure is that most of the features are easily accessible. It is user-friendly. Almost all resources in Azure are very easily accessible. For example, you can access a virtual machine, and you can scale it up. You can go ahead with different infrastructure-as-a-service in Azure for the platform or for the cloud. Different levels of development could be done using it."
"The whole package works very well together for identity management, defending endpoints or servers, and the CM."
"Its customer service is good."
"It gives us a single dashboard to control multiple sites and multiple zones. It helps to do things on a single platform and data sharing is quite easy. The network and the security are easy to manage."
"Flexibility. We're able to mix performance nodes with storage nodes easily. Unlike other vendors where, if we start a hyperconverged solution with them, we have to stick to a specific model, to a specific series with specific capabilities, with Nutanix it's very easy to mix and match the best solution, especially for a dynamic infrastructure like ours."
"Nutanix has the best virtual desktop infrastructure."
"The most valuable features of Nutanix Acropolis AOS are storage and hyper-converged. The solution is easy to use and the administration is very good."
"The flexibility of this system is very good. It's also faster than others, and has skilled technical support who showed more initiative than a competitor, e.g. VMware."
"The most valuable features are simple management and one-click upgrades."
"The most valuable features are easy cloud administration and management."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS has very good stability."
"Certain elements are difficult to deploy."
"The solution's price is high, and the implementation process is difficult. I would like to see a lower price and simpler implementation for Azure Stack."
"There should be more focus on the user interface, specifically for the management console."
"The setup for Azure becomes more complex when you have multiple users and multiple organizations using the same solution, but this is to be expected."
"Azure Stack needs to improve integrations."
"There are some minor issues or bugs with it that I know are there."
"Azure Stack's pricing could be improved."
"I would like to see better network integration."
"One of the very important things that I would like to see in Nutanix, but I'm not sure if it's in the roadmap or not, is to have some kind of caching optimization at remote sites, to build active-active data centers more easily."
"We had a few problems with the foundation machine that you can use to build your systems out. We've got it working now, but it should be improved."
"The name of the solutions offered by Nutanix does not indicate what the tool does."
"There could be better support for high power ESX and other cross platform applications."
"Nutanix should improve AHV to support migration VMs between clusters and storage containers. Migration between containers is possible, but it requires shutting down the VM. The procedure is long and there is no migration between clusters at all."
"The price could be lower."
"The initial setup can be a bit difficult."
"With some projects that we are deploying, there are errors that arise when adding nodes."
