Find out what your peers are saying about Proxmox, VMware, Microsoft and others in Server Virtualization Software."The product is really good...One can get good performance because of kernel-based virtualization."
"It is an easily scalable solution."
"This solution is open source and easy to configure."
"The most helpful aspect of KVM is the fact that the interface is so minimal. It includes just what you need to set up the VMs and manage them, and it's very simple to do so."
"If you are a Linux desktop user, KVM is the solution to go with if you have to start virtual machines with Linux or other operating systems with almost zero extra configuration needed."
"KVM has a rich options set which can be directly used or via wrappers, such as libvirt."
"I like that it's easy to manage. It's also more powerful when it comes to security than others. That point of view is the one consideration. The other consideration is that it's cost-effective."
"The most valuable feature is hypervisor. I can host at the same time different operating systems in Linux Windows."
"When you run templates on the containers on Virtuozzo they have a lot of back-ups."
"Business continuity features need to be added."
"In KVM, snapshots and cloning are areas where there could be a little more sophistication, like VMware."
"The grid interface of KVM needs improvement. It could be more beautiful, especially when compared to VMware."
"There are some issues with the graphics and some software that is very complex."
"The product must provide better performance monitoring features."
"The speed is around thirty percent slower than another competitor. This would be something to work on."
"Its resource usage can be improved."
"One problem I have is that it's not very scalable when it comes to resizing the VM disk dimensions. For example, if you have initially set a virtual drive to 10 GB and you want to upgrade it to 15 GB, it's not that easy."
"Odin Virtuozzo has poor support and needs to improve."
