Hyper-V Valuable Features

Live Migration is the most significant feature of VM management. It allows for fault tolerance and scalability while maintaining reliability. Even if a host node goes down unexpectedly, like during a mistaken shutdown, the service continues running smoothly. The shutdown request goes to the service control manager, which gracefully stops services and prepares them for migration.
Hyper-V VMM service then initiates a live migration of all VMs on that node to another available node, without impacting users. This ensures VMs are seamlessly transferred while the original node undergoes maintenance or experiences an outage. So, Live Migration is the most convenient feature for managing virtual machines.
View full review »The generation feature is good. Hyper-V allows us to define generation one and generation two Hyper-Vs with some legacy boot features. I appreciate the easy generation of virtual machines.
It is straightforward to set up the solution.
It's a stable product.
We can scale the solution.
It's pretty much issue free, so we haven't needed technical support.
View full review »It is familiar. It's very comfortable with Windows. I can configure it easily, with no hassle. That's the main thing I have seen is that the licensing, when we talk about the standard version, they're giving the rule license for free. That is a good benefit for assembly companies.
We can use the solution for free when you want to try it out.
The implementation process is simple.

The replication, creation, and import wizard, as well as the integration with reporting tools, are the most useful features.
The virtualization aspect of the solution functions similar to VMware is one of its most valuable features. Even though it costs significantly less than VMware, it has enough features to compete with it, especially in terms of virtualizing VMs, data stores, NICs, and VNX.

The solution is free.
The performance is okay.
For some customers that have a smaller implementation and not so much data, it's a good solution.
There are some products that you can mount over Hyper-V that provide the features that, in today's Hyper-V, are not present.

We appreciate how easy this solution is to implement on standalone severs.
Some of the license options available with this product allow for upgrades to be carried out without having to incur extra charges.
View full review »The most valuable feature of the solution is the support team the tool offers its users.
The most valuable feature of the solution stems from how my company uses Hyper-V for replication. The tool helps our company to automatically failover to another host. My company has to indulge in some maintenance on one node or one host, especially when we want to upgrade patching or do some patching on the host so we can stay on our VMs while on another host, and then we do the changes on that host.
The solution offers many useful features.
It's a very manageable product.
The deployment was pretty quick. It's also easy to set up.
It is a stable and scalable solution.
