Proxmox VE Stability

Toby Champion - PeerSpot reviewer
Independent Consultant at Toby Champion Associates

In terms of performance and stability, Proxmox stands out compared to other virtualization solutions I've used, such as VMware desktop, VirtualBox, and Parallels. While I've encountered instances where VirtualBox and VMware crashed, I've never experienced any issues with Proxmox crashing. While I haven't conducted any quantitative performance testing myself, I haven't noticed any significant performance drawbacks.

The stability of Proxmox is good. It runs well, and they are constantly looking to improve the product. By "they" I mean the core group at Proxmox themselves. But the key part of the updates is everything is well-tested and the goal is obviously to maintain stability while upgrading the functionality.

I'd rate it a six out of ten in terms of stability. Because we don't have a professional engineer for Proxmox VE, we are very reliant on our suppliers. So far, we haven't experienced any bugs, but as an IT specialist, I haven't had any formal training for Proxmox VE. It's an open-source virtualization platform.

Proxmox VE is stable. We have a few issues where all of a sudden you can't update it, because maybe you have taken too long to update the repository. This is a concern for us. Like I mentioned before, the updating feature is very important to us because there could be some security issues.

There are a lot of actions that you need to do with commands, which have not been automated yet. I believe that with time it will be automated.

It is a stable solution. My company does face some performance-related issues with Proxmox VE, but I feel that such issues are mostly related to hardware and not the solution.

Operations Director at Clear Basics Ltd

Proxmox VE is a stable solution. I don't have that much money to buy new hardware or new servers, and I have more or less deployed it on the old used servers I purchased online. It's been a breeze. Until I make money to buy the high-end servers, I'm just purchasing used servers or end-of-life servers, and they're running. For a third-world set up, they're running well. For 25-plus years, it's been a good solution for me.

It's been very stable. It's been working tremendously for our projects in order to set up things temporarily. Right now, it's not in production; we're only using it for testing. It offers superb stability, however.

Proxmox VE is an enterprise solution, it is used daily. Its regular maintenance is normal, the way you would maintain any normal infrastructure. There is nothing special or complex with it. We have a team of five people who maintain it, but there aren't any complex challenges.

You don't have to be very observant. We have maybe three times the hard one, but it seems as if this is an open-source solution that is supported by the community, and it's okay.

If you feel you have the skills to do it, you can go hands-on by yourself to do these deliveries, and it's going to be very useful for the solution. You need to have the training and the right skills.

Sometimes I see the stability can cause little problems. I've noticed that, when I use, I merge two, three, or four virtual machines, and when I merge all of these machines at the same time, we have some running slowly. Even if I use the virtual environment I see things running slowly sometimes.

Proxmox VE is stable and reliable.

Server stability's been phenomenal and I'm running it on several old HP MicroServers. They're Gen 7, using the AMD Turion chips. I've been running it on the Gen 8, I3, 350, and dual CPU E3 in Xeon. there are some performance differences based on what the hardware's capable of, but no matter what platform I run it on there has not ever been any stability problems whatsoever.
