We performed a comparison between Citrix Hypervisor, Hyper-V, and VMware vSphere based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Proxmox, VMware, Microsoft and others in Server Virtualization Software."The compatibility of the solution is its most valuable feature. It's compatible on almost every cloud these days."
"The solution integrates well with other solutions, which makes it really strong as a primary solution to deploy."
"The support for this solution is phenomenal."
"The continued uptime of our virtual machines is good."
"Citrix Hypervisor is simple to use."
"The solution is extremely user friendly."
"Citrix is easy to use and is stable."
"Installing Hypervisor is really simple. It's the simplest setup I've ever done before. We used a team to deploy it, and it doesn't take much time, like two or three hours tops."
"It's a very manageable product."
"The initial setup is not difficult at all. It is very easy."
"We have a higher capacity server (specification wise) so there is no need to buy another additional hardware."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"The virtualized applications and real time audition of the VMA is quite a good feature."
"I like that Hyper-V comes for free with Windows Server. You don't need to buy the license, and you only have to pay for the management aspect in System Center."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The most valuable feature is that it is user-friendly and easy to use."
"I like that it's like a distributed rescheduler. You can move to and use VMotion as well. You can move the server and move the virtual machines around different physical servers. This makes it easier when it comes to redundancy."
"We have seen an improvement in uptime. The whole hardware lifecycle process is easier."
"The most valuable feature would be enhanced, what we call, Linked Mode to link our disaster recovery site to our primary site across different vCenters, without being required to be broken apart. Meaning, we have identity management and the actual vCenter servers split. We can actually do embedded now, thanks to vSphere 6.7."
"It's easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of vSphere is its modularity. I also like the maturity updates. It's available everywhere and almost all the data centers are using it."
"It is easy to deploy and find troubleshooting articles as well."
"It makes managing your virtual servers easier and more centralized."
"As an end-user, I would say it has allowed us to have the flexibility of moving around our workloads on different machines, and not having to worry if anything is down."
"It needs to have a more robust backup solution."
"Integration with other vendors and other applications could be improved."
"Assigning the order of virtual server startup is not very easy and this can be improved."
"The interface has to be updated."
"The built-in networking features are a little limited."
"Citrix is not investing in the virtual surroundings."
"The solution should be more flexible and allow for greater customization."
"The product could be faster and licensing options could be improved."
"Microsoft tech support is horrible."
"Sometimes there's a bit of slowness in the VMs."
"It should be deployed with OS so there is no need to install OS separately, only select the OS and get it ready."
"It needs additional administration and monitoring capabilities."
"Hyper-V is hosted on OS but if your OS scratches you are in big trouble. In addition, if a host fails, automatically the machine and the virtual machine should boot from another source. Those type of features would benefit Hyper-V."
"The interface could be more user friendly. In addition, the documentation and security could use improvement."
"The solution should improve its native integration with other public cloud solutions."
"VMware has antivirus protection that covers the entire VM. If Microsoft could have something similar to this in Hyper-V, that would be great."
"I would like more Amazon stuff inside of VMware."
"The performance of the solution could be better and there could be an extra level of security."
"It could use a smaller learning curve."
"The way that vSphere manages the alerts on the data machine is not easy to configure."
"Technical support is not that great. It is too slow."
"They have multiple components required for the setup. It would be better to integrate it into one solution, especially for small business companies."
"The hardware cost is high."
"The support is good, but it's slow."
