    Overall market share, reputation and innovation drove us to Nutanix AHV over the other options.

    Chose Nutanix AHV
    We left VMware due to the price alone, and we have no regrets. Nutanix has been a reliable and efficient platform.

    Nutanix AOS makes the basic operations (adding recourses and performing updates) a lot easier.
    Incentivized
    Chose Nutanix AHV
    50/50, not much in it, to be honest. Nutanix AOS wins on the support, training, and certification ease but Dell / EMC has the name and integration support with its other products (e.g., Nutanix not supporting Networkers hot add mode).
    Incentivized
    Chose Nutanix AHV
    By far, in my opinion, Nutanix AOS is heads above VMware. From the creation of a VM to updating the nodes themselves, Nutanix AOS is so much easier, faster, and just an overall better product. I would choose Nutanix AOS over VMware any day.

    Chose Nutanix AHV
    VMware ESXi has been around much longer and because of this is much more fully featured. However, on the flip side, it then makes Nutanix AOS much less complicated to operate. Nutanix AOS online support (and knowledge base articles) are very well written and comprehensive. …

    Chose Nutanix AHV
    Nutanix [AOS] is a hyper-converged solution, and in the vSphere it was originally designed for the use of SAN, although they also have a hyper-converged solution. But the architecture and load testing showed the inconsistency of the hyper-converged solution from VMware.
    Incentivized
    Chose Nutanix AHV
    Nutanix [AOS] is the preference as it has good management tools but may be a bit more costly.

    The simplicity of the license means no need for a new storage array and hardware. Gartner report.

    Chose Nutanix AHV
    Nutanix is faster and easier, and more reliable than HPE SimpliVity.
    Incentivized
    Chose Nutanix AHV
    As mentioned before I feel that Nutanix meets or exceeds the capabilities of the competition, where that is in ease of use, how well they support their platform, upgrading software, migrating VM's from another hypervisor to Nutanix or simply moving VM's between one Nutanix …

    VMWare is too complex to run in compare to Nutanix

    Chose Nutanix AHV
    Nutanix AOS is far superior to VMware. Both in cost and performance.

    Chose Nutanix AHV
    Our experience was good with VMware, but much more and on another level with Nutanix.

    Incentivized
    Chose Nutanix AHV
    There are other clustering solutions, to be sure. And there are significantly less expensive solutions for preventing downtime, such as Hyper-V replication, which is what I was using before Nutanix. But Nutanix is in the upper-right of the Gartner magic quadrant for …

    VxRail was more expensive and used a different storage algorithm that we didn't find to be most efficient .

    Chose Nutanix AHV
    We looked at both Simplivity and Cisco HyperFlex. Both are pretty good in their own right. Simplivity was very 'efficient' in the way they handled data, but we didn't like the idea of a propitiatory hardware card. Cisco's HyperFlex was our second choice, but we were so …
