We performed a comparison between KVM and Odin Virtuozzo Containers based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Proxmox, VMware, Microsoft and others in Server Virtualization Software."KVM has a rich options set which can be directly used or via wrappers, such as libvirt."
"The most valuable feature is hypervisor. I can host at the same time different operating systems in Linux Windows."
"I like that it's easy to manage. It's also more powerful when it comes to security than others. That point of view is the one consideration. The other consideration is that it's cost-effective."
"It is an easily scalable solution."
"Documentation and problem-solving troubleshooting are the most valuable features. Performance (when fine-tuned and with "special" HW) is awesome, equal to or more than other enterprise closed-source solutions."
"Scaling the solution is easy. You just have to add more hardware."
"I like that this is an open-source solution. It is very powerful, and it's easy."
"If you are a Linux desktop user, KVM is the solution to go with if you have to start virtual machines with Linux or other operating systems with almost zero extra configuration needed."
"When you run templates on the containers on Virtuozzo they have a lot of back-ups."
"The networking with wireless devices needs improvement."
"The solution should be more user friendly. We are struggling with the command lines."
"KVM is very difficult to manage and run on daily operations."
"The initial setup of this solution is more difficult than some of the competing products and it could be improved."
"In KVM, snapshots and cloning are areas where there could be a little more sophistication, like VMware."
"Monitoring and resolution could be improved."
"Business continuity features need to be added."
"The only negative aspect of needing hardware support is a fully functional KVM can be dropped. It would be nice if the support for other platforms, like ARM or Risk, were as good as the x86 one. However, with the democratization of Chromebooks based on these chips and mobile devices, it will not take long for that to happen."
"Odin Virtuozzo has poor support and needs to improve."
