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

"The support is excellent."
"Nutanix's customer support is good, one of its biggest selling points."
"The storage features and volume system are great."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that you don't need to pay for it, it's free, as opposed to paying for a VMware license."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix AHV Virtualization is the user-friendly environment. The integration, implementation, and training for the solution are good."
"The most valuable feature is the integration between storage and compute services."
"It is the simple non-consideration we get with this product that's great. It just works."
"This solution is very stable and it has been running for the last three months, with no issues."
"When you run templates on the containers on Virtuozzo they have a lot of back-ups."
 

Cons

"Nutanix’s support team is not very efficient compared to others."
"Although AHV has many advantages, some drawbacks need to be mentioned. Compared to established hypervisors like VMware ESXi or Microsoft Hyper-V, AHV has a limited ecosystem and smaller community support."
"The technical support for this solution needs to be improved in terms of response time."
"The solution should work to improve its stability."
"If you have the need for special hardware like FibreChannel-Cards or such and there is no networked-way around it (such as you could work with USB Dongles via an HW-Dongle-Server of network), you have to use a separate hypervisor."
"Some companies do not support AHV."
"The licensing costs are a little bit expensive."
"Nutanix releases product patches every three months, while the underlying systems like the backend operating system receive weekly updates, causing a gap."
"Odin Virtuozzo has poor support and needs to improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The licensing overall from Nutanix AHV is very good compared to other solutions."
"When comparing this solution to others on the market, such as VMware and Citrix, the price could be reduced."
"We have to pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution."
"The price of Nutanix AHV is reasonable."
"AHV is free, it's an open-source solution."
"The solution’s pricing is relatively fair."
"I rate Nutanix AHV Virtualization's pricing a five out of ten."
"The license for Odin Virtuozzo is based on consumption on demand."
