TAIYAB HASAN - PeerSpot reviewer
Has provided seamless virtualization and centralized control with strong security and reliable performance
I find almost every feature of Nutanix AHV Virtualization useful, as it's a very nice HCI solution from Nutanix. AHV is their native product, so it's very integrated with all the hardware they provide. Integration is very nice with the baseline hardware. We are using all built-in security features of Nutanix AHV Virtualization, which include encryption. It is very effective in protecting our VMs, and it is very secure. The impact of AHV, such as micro-segmentation, is very effective for us and it's working as per our requirements. We are very happy with the features. Role-Based Access is also a very nice feature for us to define to whom to give admin access and to whom to give read-only access. This kind of authentication helps us distribute tasks within the teams. Using Nutanix AHV Virtualization in a single management pane is very important to me, as it allows us to see everything related to our hardware, software, servers, and VMs from one console. We can reach everything from this one console, which provides a nice inside view for our software, hardware applications, server details, issues, alerts, or any unwanted activity. We are using the non-disruptive operations feature because Nutanix AHV Virtualization is in our production environment, and this feature helps us perform any activity without any downtime.

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

"Nutanix AHV Virtualization has good performance and can be used for backup and disaster."
"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"Nutanix is good for new implementations on the VM side. It's very good for disaster recovery and final storage."
"You don't need any other instruments for control, AHV. You only need to look at the prism to control all infrastructure."
"The support is excellent."
"Nutanix AHV virtualization requires little disk size for a huge number of servers. We can do everything from a single dashboard, monitoring performance, and single-task boxes."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix AHV is that it can be managed through Hyper-V, which is Microsoft's hypervisor, VMware, and Citrix XenServer."
"Nutanix's customer support is good, one of its biggest selling points."
"When you run templates on the containers on Virtuozzo they have a lot of back-ups."
 

Cons

"The technical support for this solution needs to be improved in terms of response time."
"Honestly, there's a lot to work on the product, especially for someone like me who has worked on VMware. VMware offers a significant level of customization when configuring virtual machines, and that level of detail is not as pronounced on Nutanix AHV Virtualization."
"They need to work on the deployment of virtual machines. They need to streamline the process of templates and deploying virtual machines."
"Nutanix AHV Virtualization is CLI-based, and improvements in GUI, making it more user-friendly, are necessary as we have faced issues committing changes through GUI."
"There is no web interface for AHV."
"Lacks integration with the cloud or other solutions."
"The price of Nutanix AHV Virtualization could improve."
"The initial installation is complex. It took approximately four days."
"Odin Virtuozzo has poor support and needs to improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the price as two out of ten. There are no additional costs attached to the tool."
"The price of the solution is fair and if you want support there are additional fees."
"We have to pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution."
"The price of the solution can always be lower. However, the price of the solution is reasonable."
"The price of Nutanix AHV is reasonable."
"The solution’s pricing is relatively fair."
"Nutanix AHV Virtualization is expensive. I rate it a six out of ten."
"The licenses are perpetual, which means they don't expire. Even if we don't have support or don't renew the support service after three years, we will still be able to use the solution."
"The license for Odin Virtuozzo is based on consumption on demand."
