Pros

I love the prism feature that allows you to have all your sites in one pane of glass. It is very easy to update VMs with more CPU, memory or HDD space.

Cons

I can't come up with something I don't like.

Love it, to be honest, but is a black box software, troubleshooting it yourself is useless, you need to pay the support contract otherwise you are out of luck if something happens.

Pros

UI is friendly and dashboards are very useful, low learning curve, and support is fantastic.

Cons

It lacks some features that you could find in VMware or even Hyper-V, some options require you to use CLI and automation is complicated.

Scales very well and provisioning takes no time.

Pros

The cost and ease of management was a big factor but the support team really sold this for me. The knowledge from the Nutanix team and personable help overcoming occasional issues I've had over the past few years has been first class. The product does everything I need and although its not vSphere improvements are coming all the time and I suspect I will do everything most people need too.

Cons

Leaning a new interface was a bore after years of using vCentre and they do adapt approaches to what runs where but all be reasonable cause. I wish more could be done in the GUI as you will need to use CLI more.

Total cost of ownership with Nutanix hardware and software sold together was much better value. We were also looking for a more seamless lifecycle update experience.
