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 of Hyper-V is that it's very intuitive."
"The replication, creation, and import wizard, as well as the integration with reporting tools, are the most useful features."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It was easy to install."
"The most valuable features are ease of use, and it gets the job done in a straightforward manner."
"It works very well. Its performance, stability, and redundancy are all very dependable."
"It is actually very low on resources. It doesn't use many resources. It is also very easy to tailor. You can change things like the amount of memory and storage on the fly. It is very stable and reliable. I like its replication feature, which is very good. It is also very easy to move the virtual machines across push servers without any difficulty. Its performance is also very good. Now with this pandemic, a lot of workers are working from home. A lot of workers have been using laptops as their desktop computers, and they would remote into a virtual PC. There is no difficulty, and they can't tell the difference between this and the real one. It is much easier to manage."
"There are two very good things about this product including licensing and stability."
"My understanding is it's easy to set up."
"One of the most valuable features is how well this solution performs. It's stable, aside from some patch issues, but it's great from a virtualization and scalability perspective."
"Hyperconverged Infrastructure is the most valuable feature of Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure."
"Great flexibility and scalability."
"The most valuable feature is the solution's ease of upgrading."
"Acropolis has a great interface and lots of management features packaged with it at an affordable price."
"One of the most valuable features that can be found, is the inclusion of a hypervisor for free."
"The most valuable features are the RBAC, role-based access control, and the reporting. NCI also provides a single platform, a single pane with a dashboard, to manage the entire infrastructure. We have complete information about overall utilization, performance, and a forecast for our platform in that single pane."
"It is less expensive than VMware products. It is also a little bit more flexible, but it really comes down to price for us."
"I am using this solution with E-Notes. I heard that there will be future improvements in integration of the E-notes systems. This would be very helpful."
"Some of the interfaces need improvements, like the virtual switch or virtual VLAN interfaces."
"If a person has never implemented the solution before, they might find the process difficult."
"Failure capabilities are insufficient for disaster recovery."
"Hyper-V needs to improve its support."
"I'd like to see better predictive diagnostics, so I know what's going on with the machines."
"There are some storage problems which do occur in high load systems, especially SQL workloads."
"In general, based on my little experience with Hyper-V, I see a lot of obstacles. I think it falls behind the other competitors."
"While their overall Nutanix Bible is good, they are lacking good descriptions for particular scenarios that might be helpful to many users."
"The patch updates of Nutanix Acropolis could be improved. I'm work on the corporate side, but I get feedback from our IT team that patch updates and other updates are taking a significantly longer time. This definitely needs to be resolved. We are in discussion with Nutanix regarding certain configuration issues we are having, so maybe something can be changed to ease these patch updates."
"There are other services that Nutanix has that could be improved, but I'm not very familiar with the other services of Nutanix, such as Era and Flow. However, they seem a bit hard for us to implement and integrate with the Nutanix Acropolis AOS and other Nutanix tools. We would not dare to implement those other Nutanix solutions into Nutanix Acropolis AOS right now. The implementation of that tool could be the problem, I am a bit hesitant to implement the other tools into Nutanix Acropolis AOS."
"The name of the solutions offered by Nutanix does not indicate what the tool does."
"The storage and back-up facilities could be improved. We need day-to-day encrypting of the database."
"The scalability of the solution had some issues because there were many VMs and the replication ran into some bottlenecks. It was an issue that was known to Nutanix and it was not disclosed to the customer."
"The look and feel of the web GUI of this system needs improvement, when compared to other systems. Its hardware integration also needs improvement."
"There is a lot of functionality in Prism Central, but sometimes you want to see those features in Prism Element."
