	Proxmox VE
Considered Both Products	Proxmox Server Solutions Verified User Chose Proxmox VE Proxmox is somewhat more flexible (for being a Linux distro) than VMware. VMWare's network configuration is more robust and well implemented, but it lacks lots of resources that Proxmox has, like ZFS for example. Overall I think both solutions offer good tools and the best … Incentivized Helpful?

Verified User Chose Proxmox VE well previously we try to find the fast and lite virtualization platform, we try VMware, we try Citrix, but finally we decided to use Proxmox because it suitable for the development software team, fast provision and delete VM, save a lot of time for DevOps Team.

Joe Foran Director Of Information Technology and HIPAA Privacy Officer in Information Technology at Continuum of Care (Hospital & Health Care, 501-1000 employees) Chose Proxmox VE With an incredibly easy to use interface, quick setup, and wide support for different hardware we found it was the perfect lab tool for our department to build, stage, and eventually move VMs into production with. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Proxmox VE We've used VirtualBox on desktop systems. It's great for what it is, but it's a whole different ballgame to Proxmox VE. Proxmox provides the virtualisation, like VirtualBox, but on top of that you get a very well oiled management layer, storage integration, clustering, etc. Incentivized Helpful? Chris Thibeau Technical Support Analyst in Information Technology at Nova Scotia Provincial Gov (Information Technology and Services, 10,001+ employees) Chose Proxmox VE I have tried VMWare ESXi, as that was free, but then quickly found out that for cluster I needed the paid version. Hyper-V server was also tried but did not have an easy high available cluster install without creating a separate domain. XenServer was a great free alternative, but … Incentivized Helpful? Eric Renfro System Administrator in Information Technology at Mobiquity, Inc. (Recreational Facilities and Services, 501-1000 employees) Chose Proxmox VE VMWare pricing is steep when compared to the Proxmox VE licensing model.
