Featured Reviews

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."
"You can easily migrate VMs between hosts."
"The solution allows for easy integrations."
"It's very user-friendly."
"We can access the product from iPhone 7. It is stable and easy."
"Open source with very active community"
"The solution is stable."
"That the product is free and still has all the features you expect is a huge benefit."
"In terms of display metrics, the infrastructure, and geo-mapping as well as developing the dashboard and all the additional features have been good."
 

Cons

"Odin Virtuozzo has poor support and needs to improve."
"Odin Virtuozzo has poor support and needs to improve."
"The solution needs to move to the cloud. It would be nice if they made it more robust there."
"Its user interface can be improved. In the version that I am using, not all functions can be performed by using the UI."
"The tool needs to add a lot of containers."
"MS Windows performance is poor and the VDI capabilities are still immature."
"Currently, there are several features inaccessible through the API, necessitating the use of either the WebUI or the command line interface."
"The documentation in Proxmox VE could improve."
"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."
"The management can be better. It's not like VMware where you can get all clusters on a single dashboard. In VMware, you can literally see all the VMs running in one cluster regardless of the host."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license for Odin Virtuozzo is based on consumption on demand."
"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."
"An excellent choice for budget sensitive operations.​"
"Proxmox VE is affordable. It's cheaper than Hyper-V, Huawei Desktop Protocol, and Huawei Desktop Cloud."
"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."
"It is an open-source platform."
"We are using the free community version of Proxmox VE."
"Since Proxmox is open-source, it's freely available."
"To use Proxmox VE there is not a license required. However, you can purchase a support license, which you access, but it doesn't change the functionality of the solution."
