Has provided seamless virtualization and centralized control with strong security and reliable performance
I find almost every feature of Nutanix AHV Virtualization useful, as it's a very nice HCI solution from Nutanix. AHV is their native product, so it's very integrated with all the hardware they provide. Integration is very nice with the baseline hardware. We are using all built-in security features of Nutanix AHV Virtualization, which include encryption. It is very effective in protecting our VMs, and it is very secure. The impact of AHV, such as micro-segmentation, is very effective for us and it's working as per our requirements. We are very happy with the features. Role-Based Access is also a very nice feature for us to define to whom to give admin access and to whom to give read-only access. This kind of authentication helps us distribute tasks within the teams. Using Nutanix AHV Virtualization in a single management pane is very important to me, as it allows us to see everything related to our hardware, software, servers, and VMs from one console. We can reach everything from this one console, which provides a nice inside view for our software, hardware applications, server details, issues, alerts, or any unwanted activity. We are using the non-disruptive operations feature because Nutanix AHV Virtualization is in our production environment, and this feature helps us perform any activity without any downtime.

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

"It's user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the built-in data protection, that helps with backup in a matter of minutes."
"Simplicity is the most valuable feature, and with the management capabilities and monitoring tools, clients can do everything they need to do in their day to day operations."
"The solution is user-friendly and provides good virtual machine backups. The user interface gets updated when there is a new release."
"Everyone that's moved their machines onto that platform says they are amazed by the performance."
"Using AHV, we have a built-in VR solution. It operates using a reduplication-based unique package transfer process."
"The most valuable feature is the integration between storage and compute services."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that you don't need to pay for it, it's free, as opposed to paying for a VMware license."
"When you run templates on the containers on Virtuozzo they have a lot of back-ups."
 

Cons

"If we have to opt for a high level of capacity planning and need more analytics—like deciding on new purchases or budgeting, or if we need additional resources in the near future—we need to pay for Prism Central. I would suggest that Nutanix improve a bit on the analytics part of Prism Element so we can calculate those kinds of things within that flavor."
"Lacks integration with the cloud or other solutions."
"There are some issues with the interface and integration."
"The solution is very expensive and is one of our concerns as we intend to upgrade."
"They need to work on the deployment of virtual machines. They need to streamline the process of templates and deploying virtual machines."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see support for containerization."
"If you want to install specific software, you must first gain compatibility."
"An improvement would be for Nutanix AHV to support VMDK, AOS, Hyper-V, and VMware."
"Odin Virtuozzo has poor support and needs to improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The most valuable feature of this solution is that there is no licensing fee."
"Nutanix AHV costs less than VMware vSphere."
"The price of the solution can always be lower. However, the price of the solution is reasonable."
"The price of the solution is fair and if you want support there are additional fees."
"The solution’s pricing is relatively fair."
"The product is costly and comes with an annual subscription."
"Since Broadcom bought VMware, Nutanix also increased its pricing, making the solution expensive."
"The solution's pricing is cheap for a new customer but becomes expensive during renewal."
"The license for Odin Virtuozzo is based on consumption on demand."
