We performed a comparison between Hyper-V, Oracle VM, and Proxmox VE based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Proxmox, VMware, Microsoft and others in Server Virtualization Software.
"II prefer customers to use Hyper-V because Hyper-V is mostly integrated with Microsoft solutions."
"The solution's technical support is the best."
"The solution is easy to configure."
"It is an affordable platform."
"The performance is very good."
"Hyper-V is much easier to deploy because Hyper-V is already installed inside Windows Server OS. You only need to turn on Hyper-V as a service, and then you can use it. The most convenient thing about Hyper-V is the operating system."
"I find the ease of use the most valuable asset of the solution."
"Hyper-V integrates well with other Microsoft solutions."
"The support staff in the tech support team at Oracle has improved. I find them extremely helpful and they give very solid support."
"Good visualization hypervisor."
"In terms of server provisioning, it only takes a few clicks of a button and a bit of install automation."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"We've noticed that when working with Citrix with our Oracle clients who also use Oracle Linux, the monitoring and testing is simpler and easier for us to do."
"I like Oracle VM's vMotion and cloning features."
"The stability of the product is fine."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the resource management from the OVM Manager."
"Proxmox VE is very lightweight, and it doesn't take a lot of memory on the device."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of deployment."
"The solution is stable."
"I like that it's secure, and I find its Software RAID very useful. It's way better than the Hardware RAID I was used to. I'm really impressed by their Software RAID feature."
"It's been a stable solution."
"It is easy to deploy."
"The affordability of the solution is the product's most valuable aspect."
"The initial setup was really straightforward and easy."
"The biggest problem with Hyper-V is that the virtual machines are mostly running on top of the Windows Server, so we often need to reboot the machine and virtual machines when updating the host level. That's why we prefer VMware. It's much easier to patch the host. Also, Hyper-V has security vulnerabilities. It's easy to attack and compromise the host."
"The live migration feature needs improvement."
"There is a hard limitation of 20 gigs per file with Dropbox, so you've got to overcome that by chunking the zip files into something smaller and manageable."
"The only negative thing I heard was that the baseline price is very, very attractive relative to VMware, however, the vCenter counterpart, the thing that brings it all together, is quite pricey."
"I'd like to see better predictive diagnostics, so I know what's going on with the machines."
"The initial setup was complex. It was nearly six years ago, but I remember it was complicated."
"Failure capabilities are insufficient for disaster recovery."
"Improvements could be made to the configuration of the solution."
"The solution is an outdated Xen-based application."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"It was a complex setup. It was very difficult for me."
"The user interface of the version that we have requires improvement. They have already improved the user interface in the latest version, but we are yet to migrate to that. The new UI is much better. I would like it to be simple. It is serving all of our needs, and I don't think it is necessary to keep adding. We are able to provision a VM in ten minutes, and provisioning it in five minutes will not have any added benefit."
"Oracle VM needs to add a backup feature."
"The configuration can be more flexible. It is a necessity."
"There have been some security issues in the past."
"The solution needs to move to the cloud. It would be nice if they made it more robust there."
"Proxmox VE needs improvement in cloud computing."
"The solution is not good at upgrading and this is why I using version 6.2 and not version 7. There is no easy way to implement the upgrade. I don't have enough experience to do it safely."
"The virtualization can be better."
"Currently, there are several features inaccessible through the API, necessitating the use of either the WebUI or the command line interface."
"The solution can be improved by making it more secure and scalable."
"It could have more security updates such as when a new threat is coming into market."
"The only issue I have with Proxmox VE is updating it. You have to manually update it or you have to have a way to update it automatically."
