Microsoft Virtual Server offers valuable features including ease of resource allocation, excellent stability, user-friendly setup, and robust monitoring capabilities. It enhances security, supports seamless network integration, and is highly scalable. Users appreciate its ability to copy, move, and manage virtual servers easily, ensuring optimized cost and performance. It provides compatibility with various operating systems, facilitates efficient server management, and enhances cybersecurity with features such as network security groups.
- "The performance, pricing, and PowerShell commands are valuable features."
- "You can detach and reuse the storage drive without disrupting the virtual server, which is quite useful. Additionally, it provides options like network security groups to protect virtual machines from unauthorized access."
- "The tool is productive and performs well. The server speed is also fast."
Microsoft Virtual Server requires enhancements in areas like stability, support speed, and integration. Pricing needs reconsideration, and the interface and dashboard should be more user-friendly. Microsoft Virtual Server's compatibility with certain operating systems is problematic. Improvements in automation, network performance, security, and customization are necessary. Licensing costs and backup features should be optimized. Additionally, Microsoft Virtual Server must reduce update frequency and enhance compatibility with macOS while providing better onboarding and reporting features.
- "There is room for improvement in the user interface, which could be more user-friendly."
- "One feature I would like to see is better compatibility with macOS. Due to business policies, macOS isn't currently available in the Azure Marketplace. Microsoft should come to agreement with it."
- "We've faced challenges with migrating virtual machines from one host to another. Also, managing Microsoft updates has been a struggle. We have to update the host node every month when new updates are released, and our virtual machines go down every time there's an update. This causes downtime repeatedly and irritates our clients. It should also be lightweight."
