Ramon Ruiz - PeerSpot reviewer
Director IT at Servnet
Significant backup for containers, but the customer service is terrible
Anyone considering this solution should not compare it to the old versions. They should be a partner with Virtuozzo and run all the certifications. Also, they need a good lab to understand the technology and how they can apply that technology conveniently. This is very commercial software. It does not have support, so you will need to be hands-on. I would rate Odin Virtuozzo a six out of 10 overall.
Juan Barandiaran - PeerSpot reviewer
CTO at BCloud Services SAC
Effortless management with robust support enhances performance and cost savings
My primary use case for Proxmox VE focuses on replacing VMware solutions and migrating to a Centric Solution for medium-sized companies. This product serves as a hypervisor in environments where performance is crucial Proxmox VE has provided performance improvements, particularly with its…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When you run templates on the containers on Virtuozzo they have a lot of back-ups."
"Proxmox VE is very lightweight, and it doesn't take a lot of memory on the device."
"The most valuable feature of Proxmox VE is its storage."
"Proxmox is free, very stable, and doesn't require more resources for memory RAM. It's fine for a small data center."
"We are happy with Proxmox VE, which we use as part of a cluster, because the solution has a very good user interface and price."
"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."
"So now that you can get all the HA (high-availability) features that VMware has, there are not too many major differences between VMware and Proxmox, and the only difference is you get it for no cost."
"The solution is extremely scalable."
"Outstanding, worth every single cent spent on it!"
 

Cons

"Odin Virtuozzo has poor support and needs to improve."
"Backup and recovery could be better. It's a bit problematic."
"It is difficult to remove a virtual machine."
"Proxmox is really missing those kinds of tools right now."
"It could have more security updates such as when a new threat is coming into market."
"The documentation in Proxmox VE could improve."
"Proxmox VE can improve the management of virtual discs. For example, if my virtual disc is 200 GB and I want to decrease it is not easy. I have to do a lot of things to decrease the size of existing virtual machines. If the Proxmox VE team can make it easy for customers to instantly increase or decrease the virtual machine hard disc, it will be very helpful for me. However, the containers I can do it easily."
"We have only command lines for a management application to remove sites. The solution needs a proper GUI."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license for Odin Virtuozzo is based on consumption on demand."
"The product is free."
"The solution’s pricing is very fair."
"It's an open-source solution that can be used free of cost."
"Proxmox VE is free of cost."
"Zero - this is a free solution."
"Because I'm using Proxmox VE for personal use and it's an AGPL license project, I can use it at home for free."
"The cost is excellent."
"The way the licensing of Proxmox is structured, you can use it for free. It is an open-source solution, and you can use it for free, but if you do need support, then you have to pay for the support. So, you can use it in a way that you don't have to pay anything, which is a plus point for me. For people or users who have huge and more intense use cases, the advice or the recommendation is to always pay for support. In case something goes wrong, you can fall back on the team that will attend to your request. For me, at the moment, the cost is zero."
