Find out what your peers are saying about Proxmox, VMware, Microsoft and others in Server Virtualization Software."Ability to move your virtual machines from one host to another."
"The core function enables multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical server. This maximizes hardware utilization and efficiency."
"The most valuable features are being able to host many virtual machines and being able to patch machines."
"This is a good product for virtualization and it is easy to use."
"The support for this solution is phenomenal."
"The onboarding process is pretty straightforward."
"Citrix Hypervisor does a great job overall, such as the virtualization of the host. It's very easy to manage the virtual machine, to create, and configure high availability."
"It is quite flexible and rugged. It is also easy to understand and user-friendly. It is not as complicated as some of the other solutions. It has its technicalities, but it is easy to understand. You can easily pick up in a short period of time and understand how to manage the infrastructure."
"The pricing is pretty good."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure's most valuable feature is the flexibility to move the VMs easily, keeping everything together."
"The scalability, performance, and licensing model are the most valuable features."
"Nutanix has the best virtual desktop infrastructure."
"Ease of deployment"
"The most valuable features are simple management and one-click upgrades."
"The most valuable features of Nutanix Acropolis AOS are ease of management, hyper-convergence platform, and it has robust operations."
"One of the most valuable features is the One-Click Upgrade. When I need to update the system, I do it with one click. This product is amazing because everything is easy to manage, from network management to snapshots."
"The solution needs better backup facilities that are available for virtual machines to create servers on."
"It can be useful to have a web management program because we have to install our client-server. We have to properly manage the host, if we had administration tools through a web interface it would be a benefit."
"It needs to have a more robust backup solution."
"The USB support for the virtual server needs improvement."
"The solution is only in English. It would be ideal if it was in Portuguese."
"It needs improvement with the security features."
"Citrix Hypervisor is expensive if you get it as a stand-alone product, so this is one area for improvement. Its price could be cheaper. We also found other areas for improvement in Citrix Hypervisor, for example, we can't use SCIM provisioning, and there are limitations to the size of the HDD. Another area for improvement is the pass-through storage, in particular the removable storage, because that also has limitations where you can't connect to the drive if it is more than one TB."
"The graphics user interface is pretty bad."
"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."
"Reduce its power consumption."
"We'd like to have more resource management."
"While their overall Nutanix Bible is good, they are lacking good descriptions for particular scenarios that might be helpful to many users."
"There is a feature that exists used for disaster recovery, but it requires an extra license. It should be included with the regular normal standard license."
"I would like better integration of XenServer into the AOS and Prism Central."
"They should support more VM, which is not currently supported."
"I would like them to update their licensing to provide more features with their basic license."
