Find out what your peers are saying about Proxmox, VMware, Microsoft and others in Server Virtualization Software."I find the ease of use the most valuable asset of the solution."
"It utilizes the hardware so there are multiple applications running on one hypervisor."
"The product is easy to manage. It improves our VM management."
"I like that Hyper-V is like a virtual environment. I like to use VMware because of the resource requirements. In Sri Lanka, most of the customers use the Hyper-V GUI. When installing the interface with the Windows version, we also install the Hyper-V feature on the server. This is because they require more features and memory. There are so many features that they have embedded in Hyper-V that are useful."
"It is an affordable platform."
"The most valuable feature is that it's an end-to-end solution."
"Microsoft has documentation that is easy to find, helpful, and readily available."
"II prefer customers to use Hyper-V because Hyper-V is mostly integrated with Microsoft solutions."
"When you run templates on the containers on Virtuozzo they have a lot of back-ups."
"Hyper-V's management platform falls short in terms of scalability, especially when handling multiple Hyper-V servers. VMware has a central console to pull in all your VM servers, so you can easily manage them all through one console. You can manage servers in Hyper-V's admin centers, but it's not as scalable. It's doable with a couple of Hyper-V servers, but it becomes harder to manage when you get over two or three Hyper-V servers."
"I also use VMware which I find to be more scalable and stable overall."
"The management of Hyper-V could improve, there is a lot to improve in that area."
"I encounter issues such as mouse cursor problems, dependencies, lagging, freezing, and unresponsiveness using Hyper-V."
"An improvement I suggest is having more guest operating systems."
"It would be nice if it was turned into its own product because that's the problem with it. It doesn't have a single place where you can manage things. You have to go into all different screens to be able to configure it. And then you have no idea what the performance is. It's really just a feature added to Windows, and Microsoft does not really have anything that pulls it all together well. Compared to VMware, it does not have everything collaborate on one screen."
"The Hyper-V management console could be improved to make it easier. It should be a little bit more granular. Various virtual switches could also be improved to make virtual desk management slightly better. The replication could be improved slightly. The checkpoints or snapshots could be improved to make it a bit more transparent to the user."
"I think the console could use some improvement for the backups."
"Odin Virtuozzo has poor support and needs to improve."
