Prism is the hypervisor and hardware management tool of the future
I have more time now to focus on important projects and company initiatives, rather than micro managing our virtual infrastructure.
PROSPrism is feature rich and designed to be simple... and I mean really simple. Gone are the days of requiring extensive hypervisor management knowledge. One of many examples of how it outshines its competition is the ability to upgrade hosts during production without interruption or micromanaging moving VM's around.
CONSIts feature rich, but it has a ways to go to get to where some of its competitors are. It's getting there... their feature road map includes many of the advanced features you may be familiar with other products, such as DR failover planning, but they are not yet here today.

A very viable alternative to 3-Tier Hosting
The ease of monitoring and maintaining your VM Environment has been greatly reduced with the use of Nutanix Prism. Whether you still use vmWare or thier built in product Acropolis to host VMs, if you can handle the price tag, it is well worth the investment.
PROSIt comes in a box ready to go. If you need to add capacity, you just add boxes. The software gives so many reports and options that someone in the vmware world would do a task and say to themselves "theres no way that is all I have to do to make that happen". But yes it is. So intuitive and clearly made by people who have to manage a VM Environment themselves.
CONSThere was a major stumbling block rolling it out, sufice to say they keep several network subnets as built it and we were unlucky enough to use one of them. Support worked around it, but it was a major headache.
Reasons for switching to AOS Distributed Storage
The load balancing and failover features made it a no brainer. I used to manage CPU, Network, and storage - now with Nutanix Prism, it is all in one place.

High performance storage system
Overall for the cost we have paid for this software is worth, because comparitivly this is cheaper than it's competitors.
PROSflexibility & scalability , high performance , resilency features are the most likable. The way how it shows to the hypervisor as a central storage but the data is stores locally so the response time is much faster.
CONSFew bugs like oplog issue & some others made this software to think it can be improved.

Excellent Virtualization Platform
Basically, what we really like about Nutanix is that we can make sure that our infrastructure is running in a high availability platform. Additional to that, we are able to upgrade VMs without an outage. Moreover, features like DRP are embedded
CONSUnfortunately, Nutanix by design is not supporting external devices like a Storage for Fiber channel.
Reason for choosing AOS Distributed Storage
We preferred Prism because some features like DRP are integrated.

Nutanix the wonderful monster
Easy to use and work on the device which simplifies lots of work and helps to easy way to upgrade the AOS, AHV in a rolling fashion without any downtime for the user VM's. And Nutanix helps to remove all legacy hardware and consolidate all servers in a cluster with 2U of rack space.
PROSThe HCI is the best and pioneer in the market with its native AHV. It's a wonderful, simplified, converged device. Easy to use and understand and deploy very quickly. And the prism console give a simple GUI console to monitor the entire hardware infra of storage, network and compute as well as the Client VMs.
CONSNothing to like the least. I like all features and its a wonderful beast with its AHV and AOS beauty.
