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."
"I'll tell them it's a cheap option, it's a stable option, it's an affordable option, it's a stable solution, and it just works off the fly like that."
"Proxmox will be in my toolbox forever, I love it."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is migration."
"Saves a lot of time compared to imaging physical desktops."
"The most valuable feature of Proxmox VE is its ease of use."
"The solution's maintenance part was very easy."
"The solution has made it so that I can operate things without having to spend thousands and thousands of dollars."
"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."
 

Cons

"Odin Virtuozzo has poor support and needs to improve."
"The virtualizer in Proxmox VE could improve."
"The documentation in Proxmox VE could improve."
"Proxmox needs to improve the integration of its network, machines, and virtual machines."
"Lacking in enterprise features."
"The availability of the solution could be a bit better."
"We are facing issues with disk utilization and disk performance."
"It is difficult to remove a virtual machine."
"Some parts of the Proxmox installation are a bit complex. Proxmox relies on the ZFS file system, which can be difficult to understand and configure correctly. There is no documentation or videos to discuss the process."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license for Odin Virtuozzo is based on consumption on demand."
"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 only thing you pay for is support and it is between $2,500 and $3,000 a year. It depends on the support plan you choose. Support is optional."
"I cannot subscribe to Proxmox VE's support because it is expensive."
"An excellent choice for budget sensitive operations.​"
"Zero - this is a free solution."
"Proxmox VE is free of cost."
"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."
"There is an annual license to use Proxmox VE and it is approximately $90. There are not any additional costs."
