Nutanix AOS Reviews

We utilize Nutanix for both the software and hardware aspect of all our virtual environments in production and in our corporate offices. It is the base platform for all servers that we use to run our business both for our clients as well as for all internal users. It is used for both virtualization as well as for some storage needs and is the core of our infrastructure.

Training continues to be an ongoing effort with Nutanix, but they have great support, documentation and testing that allows for training and support documentation for their product. We have learned a great deal by working with their support teams and understanding the product during times of trouble but also whenever we find new information not before seen.

We installed a Nutanix cluster (4 nodes) to run all the virtual machines (VM) used by my organization. Nutanix is a hyperconverged computing solution, so the processing, storage and networking for the cluster is all crammed into a 2U space, all managed from a web browser. The promise of the cluster is that you will never lose services, as an entire node can go offline and your system will not miss a beat. If you are familiar with RAID for storage, clustering is like RAID for servers, where there is redundancy not just of storage, but of an entire server. So if uptime is critical for your organization, Nutanix can be a good solution, albeit expensive. Our implementation supports our entire organization, offering peace of mind from hardware failures. It's also all automatic, significantly lowering management cost and reducing administrative burden.

We are using it as our dev/test virtualization environment, which consolidated Azure and our UCS virtual platform to bring all dev/test VMs back on-prem.

We have some training mostly online and free access to Nutanix university as well. The Nutanix community is another place we can exchange ideas and learn experience from other Nutanix users and Nutanix employees. We also have good relationships with our account manager and engineer, they are very reachable and eager to help out and answer questions.

Nutanix AOS has revolutionized the way to operate and manage our data center. Transforming it into a modern and software-defined data center, the benefits and benefits in this technology renovation were cost savings, operating times, and others such as the cooling and energy of the data center, simply wonderful.

The Nutanix education portal has a large library of online courses to learn quickly and did the components and architecture actively. Now it has been complemented with Nutanix university for more advanced modules, great.

Nutanix currently runs our entire production stack including AHV hypervisor running Server 2016 VMs, Nutanix Files for SMB file shares, Xi Leap for DR, and Prism Central for reporting and analytics.

We came from a "traditional" 3-tier data center where there were many management consoles and silos. This made troubleshooting, management, and visibility very difficult and complex. Moving to Nutanix allowed us to centralize all our infrastructure resources into a single-pane HTML5 management interface called Prism. Prism allows you to manage everything from your VMs, storage containers, file clusters( which now includes file analytics), and 1-click firmware/BIOS upgrades.

Nutanix is very easy to use through the Prism HTML5 UI. Just about everything can be done from Prism and they are constantly improving and adding features. We did not receive any official training from Nutanix, rather from our implementation vendor.

We use Nutanix as the underpinning for our entire compute environment - development, test, and production systems (300+ VMs) are all running on three different Nutanix clusters at present. We run VMWare vSphere on top of the Nutanix layer, and we found that Nutanix has allowed us very good cost savings by using commodity hardware instead of expensive enterprise class three tier SAN style storage and expensive blade compute.

We were somewhat challenged with learning for Nutanix. However, the company does provide a pretty good set of self-learning tools, many of which are in the form of a video series and a "Nutanix Bible." Later, when we connected with a reseller for the purchase, they were able to provide us with on-site training and assistance.

Nutanix AOS is sitting on a Dell platform with AHV. It is being used as the IT solution for the entire business Unit, but only accessed by the IT department.
Nutanix AOS is super fast and its saves time on IT \ Daily \ Regular checks so my staff can concentrate more on operational issues.

The Dashboard is very easy to use and user friendly, you can do anything from server health check, it gives you errors and you get the pop up errors everyday. The Dashboard also lets you know when there are new updates to be installed.

We use nutanix to power 20 virtual servers and 330 virtual desktops. It is used for our entire school district. Using it enabled us to virtualize all our secretary/admin staff machines and 300 student machines. We now update one machine and push out the updates, saving us a huge amount of time and providing reliable machines we can reimage in a moments notice if a student or staff downloads malware or a virus.

Very user friendly, and easy to google the answer if not. Some command line is needed, but if you are uncomfortable with that you can schedule a time with their techs and they will remote in and assist. I did that several times for upgrading firmware in the summer months.

We use Nutanix AOS to manage and govern how our virtual machines are operating. This has been transitioned into about 90% of our operations. It solves the need to get away from VMWare. It is a very clean system and does exactly what we need without fail! The interface is very easy to use.

We area software as a service company, and we provide cloud database storage for companies. We use Nutanix AOS to control our software.

I have had some great trainers on the product, so my transition has been really easy.

Nutanix AOS is being used across our organization. We utilize it to power our VDI, file shares, and web applications.

We did not receive any formal training before use. However, we have utilized the free education materials provided by Nutanix AOS.

Yes, it's easy to use their products without much training. But we also get free training from the vendor.

Nutanix AOS simplify my work with one click upgrade, consolidate all the three-tier architecture from 3 racks including server and storage to 1 rack server with six nodes of Nutanix AOS to handle all our VM for our clients

Easy to learn, also got Nutanix AOS University for the user to self-learn and get certified.

We are currently utilizing Nutanix AOS for our VM's, as well as our ABS/file shares. With the migration to Nutanix AOS, this allowed us a single point of management and alerting instead of managing multiple different brands/tools. The ability to migrate between clusters also allows our company to have development clusters and production clusters with migrating VMS simple.

I'm fond learn by doing. I have a hard time with just reading a book, and Nutanix AOS has been extremely easy to learn on the fly. With hands-on IT people nowadays, it needs to be relatively intuitive, and Nutanix AOS is just that.

In our company, we use Nutanix our main data center platform. We deliver our customers services from this platform, they can rent a whole IaaS environment, but also per VM if they want to. Nutanix AOS is our main infrastructure platform and therefore it is used by everybody in our company. It makes our company very flexible in delivering virtual infrastructure to our customers.

Nutanix has a good community which is very helpful in setting up your system. Also you can download the Nutanix CE (Community Edition) to test it yourself and play with it. Nutanix CE is also helpful preparing to get your NCP/NCAP certification. Also if your a partner, you get access to the Nutanix University and follow all sorts of training on Nutanix. Here you will also have updated product sheets and many other new feature enhancements.

Our enterprise virtualization is almost entirely powered (~99%) by Nutanix HCI running AOS. AOS provides us with a robust, modular and scalable infrastructure to deliver mission-critical workloads. AOS provides us the stability our customers demand, enables us to easily and seamlessly perform patching and upgrades, and gives us the peace of mind knowing that it's all backed by best-in-class support.

The software uses an extremely user-friendly and speedy HTML5 interface. It's virtually infinitely customizable and intuitive to anybody who has used modern virtualization/storage/networking web interfaces. There is an exceptional amount of free online training, both from the vendor and from 3rd parties. We also received a lot of 1 on 1 training from the vendor on our installation before, during and after the installation.

We use Nutanix to consolidate all the various hypervisors and non-standard setups we have around the globe. Implementing Nutanix eliminates all the maintenance headaches of dealing with multiple vendors/products for firmware, drivers and support.

Nutanix AOS is an easy to understand, intuitive platform. It does not require any special training. Embarking on a training session is not required but provides administrators with a better understanding and appreciation of the underlying technology .

We fully migrated from an old VMware system running in a IBM Bladecenter to a brand new Nutanix 3U Cluster running Nutanix AOS. This is the only Hypervisor we use now. It is much easier to use and more powerful than VMware. The High Availability Functions of it have made maintenance much easier during business hours.

Nutanix is used by the whole organization as we run VMware on Nutanix for all our servers in various campuses. Nutanix makes it very easy to implement firmware updates from hypervisors to AOS.

The product is easy to learn about, but growing very fast.

Nutanix has been a life saver for me. It takes all the hard guess work out. It is a true turn-key solution. It is so simplified and easy to understand a cave man could use it. It has really saved me a lot of time tracking down issues that I have had in my VMware environment.

We use Nutanix AOS for VDI Desktop infrastructure for more than 300 users. Also, we have many VM application servers under Nutanix Storage Cluster. It's used for all our users in the whole organization.

Nutanix AOS is an easy and simple to manage infrastructure, backed up by good documentation and study guide. Nutanix university provides a lot of clear guidance and materials are easy to follow. Your IT Admin will love it.

We use Nutanix as our hardware layer. We benefit from fast storage and simple implementation.
Also we save a lot of time by using the one-click firmware upgrade and one-click upgrade of the Nutanix software.

We have had a good experience until now. We have had some trouble at the start but they fixed that well.
In the Nutanix University, there are a lot of training modules you can read or you can listen to learn the basics.

We use Nutanix AOS for hosting cloud-based PBX systems such as asterisk and 3CX. Nutanix AOS simplifies our daily lives with low maintenance hyper-convergence. It also simplifies a lot of aspects of virtualization, such as fast snapshots and restores, disk/resource expansion, etc.

A bit of both. We are not scared to dive in and learn, but we also attended bootcamp and reached out to support when needed.

Received training and then self-trained.

We are currently using it at one of our units and we find it so easy to do the maintenance checks so we have started rolling it out to the other units. Each unit runs its whole infrastructure off it, and we have not found a challenging part besides cloning a disk and attach to another VM. It is command-based, but maybe a guide would be nice.

Change is always hard for anybody. It takes time for us to get used to it but I must admit the time I took to get used to Mutanix was small. It is very easy to use.
