Overall Satisfaction with Nutanix AHV

We use Nutanix AHV as our core hypervisor, which runs all our production workloads. We migrated from VMware due to licensing costs and end-of-life hardware, and the platform has been rock solid. We also use Nutanix Files for our user and departmental shares, Nutanix File Analytics for reporting and auditing, Nutanix Kubernetes Platform, and Nutanix Leap.

Pros

  • Ease of management.
  • Rich and robust features.
  • Fast release cycle for new features.
  • Support.

Cons

  • Add a CD-ROM without powering down a VM.
  • Shutdown Nutanix Files cluster from GUI.
  • Positive ROI since switching from VMware.
  • 99999% uptime.
  • Built-in storage deduplication has saved us over 35% of space compared to our legacy storage solution.
Nutanix Prism Element and Prism Central are easy-to-use HTML5-based web consoles. The layout makes sense; you're only a few clicks away from getting to where you need to be. The AHV hypervisor is integrated into the platform for a fast and seamless experience. Rich data on VM metrics is also available.
We left VMware due to the price alone, and we have no regrets. Nutanix has been a reliable and efficient platform.

Did Nutanix AHV live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Nutanix AHV go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Nutanix AHV again?

Yes

Nutanix is well-suited for companies that want an all-in-one solution that provides modern technologies. It is also well-suited for teams that do not have dedicated admins to maintain a hypervisor cluster 24/7. However, Nutanix may not be suitable for very large organizations that still use dedicated storage backends to run their production workloads.
