Nutanix AHV Virtualization Reviews

We are distributors and to meet with our clients' requirements, it supports many OS systems. It monitors and protects the entire system.

Simplicity is the most valuable feature. With the management capabilities and monitoring tools, clients can do everything they need to do in their day to day operations.

There are some activities that need to be done by the GUI, but can't. The users should not be aware of this, only the engineers who are involved with the move of the system, sharing or reconfiguration.

When we need to share, publish, or encrypt something, we still need to perform it using the command line. We need to exit from the COI for the GUI to fix some of the features.

If we compare with VMware NSX the implementation is not quite as interesting.

I have been using this solution for almost three years.

We use several versions of this solution 5.0, 5.1, 5.5, and 5.10.

This solution is very stable.

Scaling is basic, as you just have to purchase new hardware. It connects to the network and discovers the ITVC. It's very easy.

Technical support is a critical part. They have provided a lot of work for us. When we open a case we save the facility, usually the FAMS meter on the V1 perspective.

Previously, we were working with another solid solution, but I am no longer working with them.

The main difference was the complexity. The tiers are very complicated. Nutanix AHV is easier.

The initial setup is very easy.

It only takes two hours to deploy.

Some of the features required additional licenses.

I would rate this solution an eight 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. 

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 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.

I have used it to host a virtualized environment.

It quickly takes snapshots. Moreover, the technology behind the backups is very efficient, enabling a reliable virtual environment.

The graphical user interface has too many menus that are not particularly useful. These menus often show options like host, memory, and disk, however, they fail to provide insight into what's happening. A streamlined interface would be beneficial.

I have been using Nutanix AHV Virtualization for two to three days.

The solution is very stable, except the updates can sometimes be buggy, especially when data is bundled with the hardware and operating system.

Nutanix AHV Virtualization is very scalable.

Customer service is excellent, worthy of a nine or ten out of ten. They provide prompt and quality responses.

We previously used VxRail. We switched from VxRail to Nutanix.

The initial setup was quite easy. It involved importing VMs from another hypervisor, and it was completed in under a week.

Two people were involved—the specialist from the company we purchased from and myself.

The setup cost for four nodes was about $200,000 (in US currency). The pricing was reasonable compared to other competitors, though the storage was expensive.

I advise verifying solutions through a proof of concept in your own environment before making a decision. I rate the overall solution as eight out of ten.
