Initial setup was relatively straightforward for a clustering solution.
SQL patching High availability We were looking for a better-than-Microsoft-SQL clustering solution. The interface can seem a little old school at times. By Old School, I simply mean from a graphics perspective it looks like word 97, not word 2013. I have used it for three years. The team from…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Customer service has been excellent so far and technical support has been very helpful, quickly resolving any issues we encountered."
"Customer service is excellent and technical support is excellent."
"Ease of use, HA, internal 100gbps Virtio network, built-in backup (don't pay $1200 Veeam licence), support for multi-monitors on multiple VMs in KVM, no need to RDP in the VMs to do your stuff (Win, Linux and Mac with SPICE and using 6 screens here (11520*2160)."
"The solution is easy to install. It can run on a lot of different types of hardware. Creating virtual machines with it is really easy."
"We are happy with Proxmox VE. We use it as part of a cluster."
"The cost is excellent, an excellent choice for budget sensitive operations."
"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."
"Open source with very active community"
"The setup is very easy."
"The whole solution is good. It has good tools that help me in managing the servers. It is also stable."
 

Cons

"The interface can seem a little old school at times."
"Upgrading from DxDev to DxEnterprise was a bit more bumpy, but even that was pretty easy to do."
"The virtualization can be better."
"Backup and recovery could be better. It's a bit problematic. If you're not well-versed with Linux, it tends to be a bit of a challenge when setting up and recovering. It's not really GUI-based, and if you're not a good Linux user, it becomes a bit difficult. In the next release, I would like to have something like Hyper-V's Data Protection Manager, where you could do an offsite backup and keep a copy. I haven't seen that incorporated yet, but I'm sure they will do that."
"The process for deployment is complicated."
"One issue with Proxmox is that some processes are not automatic. For some processes, you have to do it manually by command line."
"This solution needs a more flexible and efficient backup solution in the dashboard."
"We are using servers individually, and we are looking for a reliable application that allows us to hop between servers with high availability."
"I can't speak to any improvements. It is not lacking features."
"The interface can be a little bit rough in places."

"It's very cheap."
"The product is open-source and I rate its pricing an eight out of ten. You need to pay for support and it is costly."
