Featured Reviews

Zack Baraci - PeerSpot reviewer
High availability and user-friendly interface enhance manageability
I primarily use the core features of Nutanix AHV Virtualization ( /products/nutanix-ahv-virtualization-reviews ) at the moment. The high availability (HA), replication, and site-to-site replication are quite useful. Additionally, the usual hypervisor management functionalities are beneficial. Nutanix AHV Virtualization delivers a system that is very manageable, with a well-designed user interface. It is easier to manage than VMware in some ways, providing a good level of interaction.
Ramon Ruiz - PeerSpot reviewer
Significant backup for containers, but the customer service is terrible
Anyone considering this solution should not compare it to the old versions. They should be a partner with Virtuozzo and run all the certifications. Also, they need a good lab to understand the technology and how they can apply that technology conveniently. This is very commercial software. It does not have support, so you will need to be hands-on. I would rate Odin Virtuozzo a six out of 10 overall.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is a stable solution. I haven't faced stability issues in the solution."
"You don't need any other instruments for control, AHV. You only need to look at the prism to control all infrastructure."
"One of the most valuable aspects is that it is open source."
"We use Prism Central, the centralized management console for AHV clusters. It allows administrators to manage multiple clusters from a single interface and provides a unified view of the entire infrastructure."
"The dashboard of the solution is one of its strongest points."
"The solution is stable."
"Simplicity is the most valuable feature."
"Nutanix AHV's most valuable feature is the one-click upgrade capability."
"When you run templates on the containers on Virtuozzo they have a lot of back-ups."
 

Cons

"I must change the memory cards in at least two to three weeks."
"The graphical user interface has too many menus that are not particularly useful."
"The software based controller has high consumption. This could be improved."
"An improvement would be for Nutanix AHV to support VMDK, AOS, Hyper-V, and VMware."
"The solution should work to improve its stability."
"The technical support for this solution needs to be improved in terms of response time."
"It worked well in the beginning but after using it for some time, we found some limitations in terms of compatibility with other software."
"In terms of improvement, I think that they could have more partnerships with providers."
"Odin Virtuozzo has poor support and needs to improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AHV licensing is often included in the Nutanix HCI package."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that there is no licensing fee."
"I would rate the pricing a three out of five. It is expensive, but it also provides the value for money and performance that you require as a hyperconverged and virtualization software."
"Looking at the hardware and the software licenses, too, it might look expensive."
"AHV is free, it's an open-source solution."
"The price of Nutanix AHV is reasonable."
"The licensing overall from Nutanix AHV is very good compared to other solutions."
"We have to pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution."
"The license for Odin Virtuozzo is based on consumption on demand."
