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."II prefer customers to use Hyper-V because Hyper-V is mostly integrated with Microsoft solutions."
"Hyper-V's technical support is good - they're responsive and sort cases based on criticality and category, so they get dealt with quickly and by the correct team."
"The simplicity and intuitiveness of the platform. It was a very simple adaptation, if you have any experience in virtualization."
"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 installation was straightforward."
"It runs our most critical workloads and supports all our branch offices."
"I like that Hyper-V is like a virtual environment. I like to use VMware because of the resource requirements. In Sri Lanka, most of the customers use the Hyper-V GUI. When installing the interface with the Windows version, we also install the Hyper-V feature on the server. This is because they require more features and memory. There are so many features that they have embedded in Hyper-V that are useful."
"This solution is much easier to manage than a bare metal machine. It is so easy to manage something through the virtual machine."
"One-click setup is a valuable feature because it allows us to set up a server automatically with a single click."
"We have had good feedback from our customers about this solution."
"Data locality provides super-fast data access and ultra-low latency."
"Karbon is a must-have as it drastically simplifies the deployment of Kubernetes."
"One of the main features of the solution is that it works on many hypervisors. It is a big advantage. Additionally, the solution is compatible with VMware and Hyper-V, and the management interface, which is called Prism, is very intuitive and user-friendly."
"It consolidates our servers, and improves our electricity consumption and cooling as well."
"The management interface of this solution is great."
"Acropolis has a great interface and lots of management features packaged with it at an affordable price."
"The backup site could be better. We used to face a lot of issues, and we are looking to solve that now. We are in the process of moving all the infrastructure to the cloud. It could also use more integration on the management part. We also need more integration on the monitoring sites."
"In general, based on my little experience with Hyper-V, I see a lot of obstacles. I think it falls behind the other competitors."
"The technical support is good but it could improve by being faster."
"Improvements could be made to the configuration of the solution."
"Storage via SMB3."
"The solution is lacking in numerous features and lacks flexibility."
"They should include a few more hardware components for integration with servers."
"The solution should improve its native integration with other public cloud solutions."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure lacks compatibility with certain older processors."
"In the future, I would like Acropolis to add support for publishing external storage."
"AHV is a great hypervisor but still limited compared to VMware. AHV is the one product they must improve."
"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."
"While the customer support is truly incredible, for Spanish speakers it would be appropriate to have support in their native language to further improve problem-solving conditions."
"In Thailand, there really isn't a cloud version of Nutanx available to us."
"We did have some integration issues."
"One disadvantage of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is it doesn't support external storage. Connecting external SAN storage to Nutanix, it's not supported."
