We performed a comparison between Hyper-V and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Proxmox, VMware, Microsoft and others in Server Virtualization Software."The most valuable feature is the ability to integrate the Hyper-Visor center from one console."
"I find that most of the competition is more or less the same. However, Hyper-V is, when you compare it to the older platforms like VMware, a little bit more advanced at this stage."
"The simplicity and intuitiveness of the platform. It was a very simple adaptation, if you have any experience in virtualization."
"The virtualized applications and real time audition of the VMA is quite a good feature."
"The restore function of the virtual server is valuable to me."
"Hyper-V can expand storage. For instance, if I have a VM running on NetApp or another platform, I can expand the storage without interrupting operations. It is useful when I need to quickly allocate more storage without causing downtime or performing maintenance tasks."
"The solution is highly scalable."
"The support with Microsoft is great."
"Nutanix has the best virtual desktop infrastructure."
"The management interface of this solution is great."
"It supports multi-cloud integration that includes AWS, Google, and Azure."
"Acropolis has a great interface and lots of management features packaged with it at an affordable price."
"The interface is very good. Before we used this solution, we had separate storage and switches, but with the hyper convert, it's all in one."
"The HCI environment itself is very intuitive. Everything is centralized under one solution. And, they also have fast server built in in addition to a network analyzer."
"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."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS has very good stability."
"When one server or one virtual machine fails, or one is turned off, the virtualization stops, and we have to initiate again with human intervention."
"The solution could improve by having virtual restore."
"I think the console could use some improvement for the backups."
"Hyper-V is hosted on OS but if your OS scratches you are in big trouble. In addition, if a host fails, automatically the machine and the virtual machine should boot from another source. Those type of features would benefit Hyper-V."
"It would be nice if they provided a free management console that we could use to manage all of the hosts for no additional fee."
"The Hyper-V management console could be improved to make it easier. It should be a little bit more granular. Various virtual switches could also be improved to make virtual desk management slightly better. The replication could be improved slightly. The checkpoints or snapshots could be improved to make it a bit more transparent to the user."
"Hyper-V needs to improve its support."
"The initial setup was complex. It was nearly six years ago, but I remember it was complicated."
"Native File-Services are under heavy development and Container Services just came out."
"The latency needs improvement"
"Nutanix now supports four hypervisors but they are not all at feature parity."
"I would have liked it if Nutanix were a hardware as well as a software platform."
"The one note of improvement I have for Nutanix is that the installation should be easier."
"Nutanix could streamline Acropolis' advanced management to keep pace with its competitors. For example, in VMware vSphere ESXi Hypervisor, you can directly put a host into maintenance mode via the GUI. However, it takes several steps to do this with Nutanix Acropolis, and you need to use the command-line interface for most of the steps."
"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."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS is new technology in a competitive market. Pricing is too high for a new product and requires better discounts to be able to compete with IBM, Dell EMC, and HP."
