The performance and compatibility are really pushing some users like community organizations to not buy software licenses anymore (why buy a $1000 license for an old appliance when we can get the same functionality for free on another software and still get good performance). Reliability is still advertised for our clients.

Proxmox VE proved to be beneficial when I sought an alternative to running virtual machines solely on my laptop, which had been my setup for years. My criteria were clear: I needed a free, reliable solution with comprehensive documentation. The platform needed to perform seamlessly. One of my immediate requirements was to run Windows virtual machines, alongside hosting services like WikiMedia.

The integrated backup solution provided by Proxmox has significantly influenced our data protection strategy. It instills confidence in me knowing that I can efficiently back up my virtual machines using a seamlessly integrated solution within the Proxmox family of products. It has become the standard approach for data backup within our environment.

It's a tool that opens doors so that we don't need to pay any fees. This is a good thing. It's helping us to use its resources with the server we have. If there's none, especially it's increasing productivity, it's a handy tool to help manage things.

When I migrate the website to the Proxmox server, there is a flex server installed on Proxmox VE. I migrated my website in one day with zero downtime.

With live migration, there is no downtime when any node needs service or upgrades. Plus, when I need more memory, I just allocate it; more disk space? same. It is possible to administer almost anything remotely, now it takes months till a customer needs a weekend visit to service something, before Proxmox, it used to happens once a month!

My company has benefited from the use of Proxmox VE since it has helped us reduce our costs. Earlier in my company, we were using VMware. My organization's costs related to operations were on the higher side when we were using VMware, especially when it came to areas related to management and updates. With VMware, you need to have an active subscription to run a few basic VMs and other stuff, but on Proxmox VE, you don't need to pay for any overhead costs. You only need to pay for support from Proxmox VE, and otherwise, it is a completely free solution.

Proxmox allows us to achieve affordable performance while keeping high levels of data protection and flexibility. It also enables the deployment of services for small enterprises that need on-site deployment, and at the same time, it helps keep the budget under control. It maintains very low energy, noise, and steric footprint for the office environment.

It brings all those benefits that virtualization brings. It reduces cost. I don't have to invest so much in buying many servers. I can go buy one new server with enough resources, and I can virtualize using that server. I can also layer features, such as routing, firewall, HTTP, and VLANs, on top of that.

This is a low-use, but a high-need solution for us. It is helpful because it means that we don't need dedicated hardware for all of our services. It has allowed us to grow the way we have, over the past couple of years.

By implementing Proxmox, we now have the ability to quickly build and deploy VM desktops for application testing with the snapshot ability to rollback, as required. Saves a lot of time compared to imaging physical desktops. The web interface is quick to learn for techs to deploy VMs based on templates, as required.

All our client servers are now virtualised, which has reduced the risk of downtime due to a server failure that used to happen with non-virtualised servers. Servers can be backed up using snapshots etc.

It is high availability resources, replication and live-migration (on cluster envirioment). We don't have significant problems with hardware issue or maintenance schedule, because with ZFS, Cephs or other shared storage incorporated in Proxmox technology, it´s possible to migrate virtual machines to other hosts with almost zero downtime.
