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…

"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 the speed. Additionally, I can modify the solution if needed because it is open-source and the integration of any kind of API and monitoring is hassle-free."
"We now have the ability to quickly build and deploy VM desktops for application testing with the snapshot ability to rollback, as required."
"Scalability is excellent and it seems to run with quite a low overhead."

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 interface can be a little bit rough in places."
"Lacking in enterprise features."
"Separate physical network for Corosync/Heartbeat should be emphasized in the Quick Start or Getting Started documentation."
"My impression is that currently, this solution is not stable even after multiple versions of improvements."
"We had some challenges with management including volume and storage management. Setting it up properly and making it work, specifically shared storage between the virtual machines, is difficult."
"A feature which should be added is the ability to encrypt the main installation."
"The so-called free support that the solution offers doesn't allow you to access the repositories."
"The solution should include some features that can help with converting raw files into different formats. It should offer better management around raw files."
