Nutanix AHV Virtualization Reviews

This product aims to provision applications and resources in the IT environment and protect the overall IT infrastructure.

Nutanix is minimizing downtime and operating costs.

The license is expensive. Also, It integrates well with Microsoft products but needs more integrations.

I have been using Nutanix AHV Virtualization as a partner.

The customer support is good. We have a business-to-business agreement with them. They're responding well, resolving the issues that have a significant impact.

We recommend using VMware. All organizations in Europe are using VMware because of the marketing. Someone has a vast portfolio of services and is selling many products and services globally.

For deployment, you have to be certified to perform any activities regarding the setup or the configuration. You should certify some engineers to do the initial setup or the configuration of this product, or you have to purchase some services.

Europeans need to start working with Nutanix as a cost-effective solution. It's more simpler than the other solutions in the market right now. We are now trying to establish a strategic plan with Nutanix more effectively and to be in our portfolio.

Nutanix AHV is new in the virtualization market. The company should invest in marketing. I have seen the products on several IT-related websites. Nutanix is also gaining recognition from industry analysts, appearing in the top ten lists of several Gartner.

I advise using the tool effectively for your needs with careful sizing considerations. Additionally, professional analysis is crucial in aligning the product with specific service demands.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Nutanix AHV is one control plane for the entire infrastructure we operate.

It is very convenient.

Our customers like that it is license-free.

You don't need any other instruments for control, AHV. You only need to look at the prism to control all infrastructure.

AHV is a very powerful solution that is on par with VMware.

Nutanix has all of the features that customers require.

I would like to see more automation of Day One operations, such as DRS, and HA.

AHV has managing controls but could be better.

The disadvantage is that you must be familiar with Linux in order to delve deep into this solution if necessary.

I am aware of one disadvantage for AHV at this time, which is that Nutanix does not yet have a disaster recovery solution for AHV. We use another solution. Nutanix has metro clusters for VMware but no production solution for AHV. It would be an advantage if Nutanix would include this option.

I am an integrator. We resell and implement solutions.

I don't recall any major issues with AHV. Customers who are unfamiliar with Linux and KVM may encounter difficulties. It can be a problem. And I believe that the number of Linux specialists is significantly lower than the number of VMware specialists. It could be a problem. There is a steep learning curve.

It scales in the same way other solutions do. Scalability is good.

You only need to add nodes to the cluster, and it will automatically expand.

Their support is very good, and they can assist you with AHV issues. You don't need to understand this solution thoroughly, Nutanix can help you.

We work mostly with Nutanix, VxRail, and vSAN.

The initial setup is not difficult for me. I'm very familiar with the solutions, and it's always the same for me when I implement them; I don't notice any significant differences.

Nutanix AHV is free.

In general, the most significant issue for our customers is that Nutanix is the most expensive solution, and not all can afford the solution.

I am a partner and a hyper-converged system implementer. I sell for customers, and I need to understand the differences between various systems in order to explain and answer customer questions about what's best for their environment.

The customer should learn Linux, but is not necessary, because we are the main stack of operations is done with prism. Its GUI is ideal for user experience, and they don't need to go to CLI to do anything.

I would rate Nutanix AHV a nine out of ten. Because every vendor is required to rate it a 10, but I believe that AHV has areas in which they can improve.

The most valuable features are that AHV is highly secured, simple to set up, and easy and flexible to use.

Adding even more integrations would be an improvement.

I'm very satisfied with AHV's stability.

AHV is scalable.

Nutanix's customer support is good, one of its biggest selling points.

I would rate AHV as ten out of ten.

We are using Nutanix AHV for creating various production virtual machines and providing access to our customers.

The solution is user-friendly and provides good virtual machine backups. The user interface gets updated when there is a new release.

The solution could improve the call logging system to HPE, it is a bit tedious.

I have been using this solution for approximately four years.

The stability of the solution is excellent.

If I want to add one or two new nodes in the next three years, it is done very easily by installing the latest available hypervisor. Alternatively, I can upgrade the existing hypervisor.

We use paid support for the solution.

The installation process is straightforward.

The price of the solution is fair and if you want support there are additional fees. 

One of the main benefits of HPE products is when they are providing you a warranty or guarantee of, for example,  three years or five years, the product will work for seven to eight years. This is the most beautiful advantage for HPE products.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Nutanix AHV a ten out of ten.

Using AHV, we have a built-in VR solution. It operates using a reduplication-based unique package transfer process. 

The software based controller has high consumption. This could be improved. 

I have used this solution for three years. 

This is a stable solution. 

This is a scalable solution. 

I would rate the support for this solution a four out of five. 

The initial setup is straightforward. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. 

We primarily use the solution because of the pricing.

The price of the solution is its most valuable feature. 

Nutanix is good for new implementations on the VM side. It's very good for disaster recovery and final storage.

The solution offers good integration with the cloud.

The solution is not suitable for all migrations.

The solution should work to improve its stability for All type of VM's boot options

The stability of the solution is Good.

Technical support is good. I'd rate them nine out of ten.

We previously used VMware ESXi and Microsoft's Hyper-V.

On the hyper conversion solution, the main issue is the network integration with the existing line with the end-user. Otherwise, the initial implementation is straightforward. The main things to be considered are the prerequisites you need to have before starting the implementation of the network integration. 

We handled the implementation ourselves.

We're using the on-premises deployment model. We're a reseller of the solution.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
