Manages clusters across sites and has an easy setup and integrations

Pros

"Many of my customers are moving away from VMware because of its acquisition by another company, which has resulted in skyrocketing prices, making it very expensive and viable only for larger enterprises."

Cons

"Some parts of the Proxmox installation are a bit complex. Proxmox relies on the ZFS file system, which can be difficult to understand and configure correctly. There is no documentation or videos to discuss the process."

Effortless management with robust support enhances performance and cost savings

Pros

"Some of the most valuable features of Proxmox VE include great performance, particularly in the container environment, and cost-effectiveness."

Cons

"An area that could be improved is the replication of virtual machines from site to site for disaster recovery."

Ensures a robust, user-friendly virtualization platform with seamless VM management, efficient resource allocation and a strong community for support

Pros

"One of the standout features of Proxmox VE is its meticulously crafted web user interface, which is not only highly efficient but also exceptionally clear and user-friendly."

Cons

" Currently, there are several features inaccessible through the API, necessitating the use of either the WebUI or the command line interface."

Affordable virtualization with robust features awaiting further exploration

Pros

The product is not scalable and has performance issues, though it is free and the support costs are reasonable

Pros

"KVM hypervisor is a valuable part of the solution."

Cons

"We are facing issues with disk utilization and disk performance."

A lightweight solution with a very powerful backup

Pros

"Proxmox VE is very lightweight, and it doesn't take a lot of memory on the device."

Cons

"Since I face issues importing Windows OVA inside Proxmox VE, a clickable button should be added to select the OVA format and import it inside Proxmox VE."

Fairly priced and provides very good security

Pros

"The solution's most valuable feature is that it allows customers to use the power of KVM easily."

Cons

"Proxmox VE editions should be made available to other Linux distributions because they are only attached to Debian."

A cost-effective solution for virtualization and storage

Pros

"It is a community-based solution."

Cons

"There should be a helm feature for managing Kubernetes ports directly from the Proxmox traffic interface."
