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 dashboard of the solution is one of its strongest points."
"Nutanix AHV is very scalable. It can go to unlimited nodes."
"Nutanix AHV Virtualization is a very good system to approach."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Nutanix AHV Virtualization has good performance and can be used for backup and disaster."
"For our markets here in Morocco, we are mainly working with server virtualization, and the most valuable feature is the software-defined storage and hyper-converged infrastructure."
"Nutanix AHV's most valuable feature is NetFlow."
"The most valuable feature is the integration between storage and compute services."
"When you run templates on the containers on Virtuozzo they have a lot of back-ups."
 

Cons

"In terms of improvement, I think that they could have more partnerships with providers."
"I would like to see more automation of Day One operations, such as DRS, and HA."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"The management console needs to improve to make it easier for administrators. For example, to be able to reorganize our VMs, folders, and subfolders, similarly as it is provided in VMware. We can sort, manage, and organize VMs, folders, or subfolders in VMware."
"Nutanix releases product patches every three months, while the underlying systems like the backend operating system receive weekly updates, causing a gap."
"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."
"The solution is very expensive."
"If you want to install a specific operating system, you must first check to see if it is listed in the compatibility list; only then will you be able to install it, and that is one issue for now."
"Odin Virtuozzo has poor support and needs to improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the price as two out of ten. There are no additional costs attached to the tool."
"The licensing overall from Nutanix AHV is very good compared to other solutions."
"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is costly. I don't think there are any extra costs in addition to the standard licensing fees of the solution."
"The solution’s pricing is relatively fair."
"Nutanix AHV is free."
"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."
"AHV is free, it's an open-source solution."
"The setup cost for four nodes was about $200,000 (in US currency)."
"The license for Odin Virtuozzo is based on consumption on demand."
