Easy to use and supports multi-monitors on multiple VMs in KVM

Pros

"Ease of use, HA, internal 100gbps Virtio network, built-in backup (don't pay $1200 Veeam licence), support for multi-monitors on multiple VMs in KVM, no need to RDP in the VMs to do your stuff (Win, Linux and Mac with SPICE and using 6 screens here (11520*2160). "

Cons

"The Windows drivers could be easier (unlike manually installing Ballon, QEMU and optionally SPICE, VIRTio, etc.)"

Ensures a robust, user-friendly virtualization platform with seamless VM management, efficient resource allocation and a strong community for support

Pros

"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."

Cons

" Currently, there are several features inaccessible through the API, necessitating the use of either the WebUI or the command line interface."

Effortless management with robust support enhances performance and cost savings

Pros

"Some of the most valuable features of Proxmox VE include great performance, particularly in the container environment, and cost-effectiveness."

Cons

Manages clusters across sites and has an easy setup and integrations

Pros

"Many of my customers are moving away from VMware because of its acquisition by another company, which has resulted in skyrocketing prices, making it very expensive and viable only for larger enterprises."

Cons

"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."
