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."
"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."
"That the product is free and still has all the features you expect is a huge benefit."
"It's been a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is performance, it is fast."
"Previously, we were using VMware vSphere; we went with Proxmox because of the price and the features."
"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."
"The solution's compatibility is very good with multiple operating systems. The moving systems are very good and migration is excellent. These are the most valuable features for us."
"The setup is very easy."
 

Cons

"Upgrading from DxDev to DxEnterprise was a bit more bumpy, but even that was pretty easy to do."
"The interface can seem a little old school at times."
"The process for deployment is complicated."
"Proxmox VE editions should be made available to other Linux distributions because they are only attached to Debian."
"The solution should include some features that can help with converting raw files into different formats. It should offer better management around raw files."
"It would be nice to have total CPU and RAM allocations show for all VMs/CTs to avoid overloading an individual hypervisor."
"Its performance and support can be improved. Currently, there is a cost for support."
"The product is still a little young so it is maturing, but new features are coming out all the time."
"I would like to see an improvement in the virtualization itself. We use the physical servers for easier migrations, but the virtualization can be better."
"It is difficult to remove a virtual machine."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I cannot subscribe to Proxmox VE's support because it is expensive."
"The solution’s pricing is very fair."
"There is no subscription required for Proxmox VE."
"The price of the solution is priced low."
"The product is free."
"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."
"We are using the free community version of Proxmox VE."
"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."
