Featured Reviews

Mithun Nidiyenga - PeerSpot reviewer
Achieves seamless upgrades and cost efficiency while managing virtualization
One issue we encountered is with third-party vendors who provide customized images in OVF format, a VMware virtualization format. When we customize these images for Nutanix AHV, some vendors refuse to support them, stating they've been altered. Another area for improvement is in the patching process. Nutanix releases product patches every three months, while the underlying systems like the backend operating system receive weekly updates, causing a gap. This delay in patching creates risk, especially for government projects that require timely updates.
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 the simple non-consideration we get with this product that's great. It just works."
"Nutanix AHV's most valuable feature is the one-click upgrade capability."
"Nutanix AHV is very scalable. It can go to unlimited nodes."
"The solution is user-friendly and provides good virtual machine backups. The user interface gets updated when there is a new release."
"The feature that has had the most impact is data locality. That is a feature that makes Nutanix different from other hypervisors. It helps us to get application performance that is probably double what we got with the legacy, three-tier architecture."
"This product stands out for its user-friendly interface, intuitive design, and responsive UI. It offers AVH features comparable to Nutanix but at a more cost-effective price point."
"The support is excellent."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the snapshot feature. It is very useful and convenient."
"When you run templates on the containers on Virtuozzo they have a lot of back-ups."
 

Cons

"The graphical user interface has too many menus that are not particularly useful."
"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."
"The licensing costs are a little bit expensive."
"A lot of tasks cannot be performed using the GUI, the graphical interface."
"For the moment, the graphic user interface is not good, and it needs to be improved."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"The product must provide geo clusters."
"Nutanix AHV Virtualization's price is very high."
"Odin Virtuozzo has poor support and needs to improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When comparing this solution to others on the market, such as VMware and Citrix, the price could be reduced."
"Nutanix AHV costs less than VMware vSphere."
"The price of the solution is fair and if you want support there are additional fees."
"The product is costly and comes with an annual subscription."
"Nutanix AHV is low cost."
"The license for Odin Virtuozzo is based on consumption on demand."
