"The initial setup was really straightforward and easy."
"We are happy with Proxmox VE. We use it as part of a cluster."
"That the product is free and still has all the features you expect is a huge benefit."
"Proxmox allows us to achieve affordable performance while keeping high levels of data protection and flexibility."
"I have a program on my old machine with 380 events, but I need to create new events. This is much easier to do with VFXTHs, and I have the skills to do it. I also have two VPNs running on the old machine, which I can use to get started."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable features of RHEV are all the tools, such as virtualization, management of cloud platforms, and integration of container environments. The solution has good compatibility between virtualization, content management, and cloud management. Having the full set of these tools is the advantage of it."
"Customers are moving to open source and Red Hat is the leader in this particular space. I think customers feel more confident running Red Hat Virtualization than VMware."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Its user interface can be improved. In the version that I am using, not all functions can be performed by using the UI. There can be some improvement on that. I'm assuming that it has already been improved in the latest version."
"Separate physical network for Corosync/Heartbeat should be emphasized in the Quick Start or Getting Started documentation."
"The process for deployment is complicated."
"This solution needs a more flexible and efficient backup solution in the dashboard."
"Proxmox VE needs to make a deal with Veeam. I was also unable to make version upgrades. I have also encountered backup problems."
"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."
"It's one of those things for me to move things on to the cloud. It's not so easy. I am always on the laptop and have to monitor that because if you want to make strides; you need to stay online."
"The only disadvantage of Proxmox VE is that it is a young solution so it does have some bugs."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
"It would be better to have more patches, especially kernel-level updates, live and online so that we can keep the business up and running during this period."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
