We performed a comparison between Proxmox VE and RHEV based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Server Virtualization Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Proxmox VE has many containers. You need to download the image and do basic configuration, after which it is operational within a few minutes. The solution provides many containers that are light in use and don't use a lot of memory. You don't have to spend a lot of resources."
"The solution's most valuable feature is backups."
"The template option allows us to build a desktop in a VM, then quickly deploy as a linked clone."
"Proxmox allows us to achieve affordable performance while keeping high levels of data protection and flexibility."
"Ease of use, HA, internal 100gbps Virtio network, built-in backup (don't pay $1200 Veeam licence), support for multi-monitors on multiple VMs in KVM, no need to RDP in the VMs to do your stuff (Win, Linux and Mac with SPICE and using 6 screens here (11520*2160)."
"The solution is stable."
"The setup is very easy."
"You can easily migrate VMs between hosts."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward and well-documented. The process is very similar to its competitors. The success of your setup depends on how well you plan."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"I would like to see more monitoring in the next release of this solution."
"Proxmox VE needs to make a deal with Veeam. I was also unable to make version upgrades. I have also encountered backup problems."
"Proxmox VE needs improvement in cloud computing."
"Proxmox VE can improve by importing OVF or OVA files directly from OVA. I need to convert all the images to raw images before importing them to Proxmox VE. If there is a solution that I can import directly from VMDK, it would be better."
"The tool needs to add a lot of containers."
"The availability of the solution could be a bit better."
"Currently, there are several features inaccessible through the API, necessitating the use of either the WebUI or the command line interface."
"The solution should include some features that can help with converting raw files into different formats. It should offer better management around raw files."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
"In comparison to VMware, this solution isn't as stable. We're testing it right now, and we're not trusting the stability of the product."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"This solution could be more secure."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
