We performed a comparison between Proxmox VE and RHEV based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Server Virtualization Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The template option allows us to build a desktop in a VM, then quickly deploy as a linked clone."
"The affordability of the solution is the product's most valuable aspect."
"It fits in well with our organization. It works and does what it says it does."
"The solution allows for easy integrations."
"Proxmox VE is very lightweight, and it doesn't take a lot of memory on the device."
"The most valuable feature of Proxmox VE is the linked clone."
"One of the standout features of Proxmox VE is its meticulously crafted web user interface, which is not only highly efficient but also exceptionally clear and user-friendly."
"It is easier to balance loads across hypervisors if a given container or virtual machine uses more resources than its peers."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"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."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward and well-documented. The process is very similar to its competitors. The success of your setup depends on how well you plan."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"Proxmox VE can improve by importing OVF or OVA files directly from OVA. I need to convert all the images to raw images before importing them to Proxmox VE. If there is a solution that I can import directly from VMDK, it would be better."
"Proxmox VE doesn't offer a good interface for monitoring."
"Some of the more advanced features and options required for setup still need to use the console and hand edit config files."
"It is a good solution, but it is very complicated in some ways. It is not easy. You must have experience in the console mode to do some configurations. A lot of documentation and YouTube videos are available that you can use to learn about it."
"The virtualizer in Proxmox VE could improve."
"Proxmox VE needs improvement in cloud computing."
"My impression is that currently, this solution is not stable even after multiple versions of improvements."
"If this solution could import directly from OVS format then it would make migration much easier."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
"We hope that Red Hat can produce a paradigm edition. We are looking for paradigm computing and paradigm storage. Its scalability can be improved. It is not easy to scale, and we hope that Red Hat can provide a more scalable system. They should also provide local service and support. Our customers are looking for a good software vendor to provide professional services."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
