"It is 100% stable. It's the most stable infrastructure that we have."
"It has seamless expandability."
"The features that I have found most valuable include its HA facility, viability, robustness, flexibility, it's time to go live is very short, and it has a friendly user interface."
"I would like to see better decompression or degrouping of the VMs so that we can use a single number of SQLs with two servers. We don't need a huge number of DXSPs."
"There is room for improvement in the USB mapping."
"Lacks integration with the cloud or other solutions."
"VMware does tend to have more features than AHV. It's more of the leader in this space."
"Some companies do not support AHV."
"Adding even more integrations would be an improvement."

"An improvement would be for Nutanix AHV to support VMDK, AOS, Hyper-V, and VMware."
"The scalability of Nutanix Acropolis AOS needs improvement."
"The compatibility and integration of Nutanix Acropolis AOS could be improved. For example, we have a WAF application firewall and it does not work on this solution. Not all the OS's run on AOS. You need to have a newer version of an operating system if you want Nutanix to perfectly run all the different options."
"Make it easier to manage."
"In terms of automation, I know there are ways to do it, but it's not very user-friendly. I've been working for the last three years with Nutanix and I've managed to automate certain things, but it's a somewhat more complex job than it should be. I would like to see more documentation or knowledge base articles."
"In terms of the IT different categories, I would like for the governing sections to be able to use it in the IT department. If they can have something like a one view management portal or software similar to VMware that would be an added value."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS could improve by adding some NAS features, similar to the ones that are available in the NetApp solution."
"Deployment could be more user-friendly - currently, it requires certain skills with the network and nodes."
"This product would be improved if it included a hybrid cloud solution."
