We performed a comparison between Citrix Hypervisor, Hyper-V, and Proxmox VE based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Proxmox, VMware, Microsoft and others in Server Virtualization Software."The continued uptime of our virtual machines is good."
"The solution is easy to deploy. It's very easy to understand problems and read logs."
"The solution integrates well with other solutions, which makes it really strong as a primary solution to deploy."
"The compatibility of the solution is its most valuable feature. It's compatible on almost every cloud these days."
"We find there are good central maintenance and central management panels."
"The price is the solution's most valuable feature."
"This is a dependable solution for virtualization with a good community for product support."
"The solution is extremely user friendly."
"We have a higher capacity server (specification wise) so there is no need to buy another additional hardware."
"The virtual SAN feature is helpful."
"I appreciate its stability and user-friendly management interface."
"I like the functionality."
"It's good for what it does. If you have a small or medium-scale acclimatization, it's an excellent solution."
"The most valuable features are ease of use, and it gets the job done in a straightforward manner."
"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."
"It makes it easier to deploy service. All service tends to migrate onto the server house without having problems now. It is hardware independent."
"The most valuable feature of Proxmox VE is its storage."
"Proxmox is free, very stable, and doesn't require more resources for memory RAM. It's fine for a small data center."
"It is a community-based solution."
"It allows us to create an individual VM along with the GPU for machine learning."
"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 setup is very easy."
"The solution is stable."
"I have a program on my old machine with 380 events, but I need to create new events. This is much easier to do with VFXTHs, and I have the skills to do it. I also have two VPNs running on the old machine, which I can use to get started."
"I think the technical support could be better."
"I would like the possibility of updating the hypervisor by applying security patches."
"The licensing costs are too high on the solution. They should work to make the costs more reasonable."
"There are several areas that need improvement including the stability of the networking stack and networking management."
"The USB support for the virtual server needs improvement."
"Citrix could provide more tools to help the client manage the solution because we need to build our own tools in some cases. Everything is available through PowerShell, but then you need to build your own scripts to do the more advanced work."
"The graphics user interface is pretty bad."
"It needs improvement with the security features."
"I'd like to see better predictive diagnostics, so I know what's going on with the machines."
"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."
"The product can be a bit difficult to use."
"Hyper-V doesn't have a lot of features and is limited compared to other virtualization software."
"Hyper-V could improve by making it easier to manage."
"They should include a few more hardware components for integration with servers."
"There is a hard limitation of 20 gigs per file with Dropbox, so you've got to overcome that by chunking the zip files into something smaller and manageable."
"When it comes to Hyper-V the worst thing is it's based on the Windows operating system. For the installation of Hyper-V, you're supposed to install the right operating system. For me, it's strange."
"My impression is that currently, this solution is not stable even after multiple versions of improvements."
"The process for deployment is complicated."
"The solution can be improved by making it more secure and scalable."
"This solution needs a more flexible and efficient backup solution in the dashboard."
"The product is still a little young so it is maturing, but new features are coming out all the time."
"Currently, there are several features inaccessible through the API, necessitating the use of either the WebUI or the command line interface."
"The only disadvantage of Proxmox VE is that it is a young solution so it does have some bugs."
"The solution needs to move to the cloud. It would be nice if they made it more robust there."
