Significant backup for containers, but the customer service is terrible
Odin Virtuozzo is a VIP hybrid solution. All the services we run on Proxmox are running on containers When you run templates on the containers on Virtuozzo they have a lot of back-ups. Odin Virtuozzo has poor support and needs to improve. They are located in Russia and do not provide good…

Ensures a robust, user-friendly virtualization platform with seamless VM management, efficient resource allocation and a strong community for support
Improvements are needed for the API. Currently, there are several features inaccessible through the API, necessitating the use of either the WebUI or the command line interface. While the command line interface suffices, it's apparent that efforts are underway to enhance this aspect. In future releases, one potential feature enhancement could be improved remote screen access, allowing users to connect to the screen of another machine more seamlessly. Additionally, integrating with Terraform or providing better support for Terraform workflows might be beneficial, as there seems to be some lacking in that area. There's a minor inconvenience where you have to switch the license file from the open-source community license to an enterprise license.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"When you run templates on the containers on Virtuozzo they have a lot of back-ups."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is that its storage container, LVM, and everything else work out of the box."
"It's very user-friendly."
"It has a good performance and you can cluster it."
"Proxmox VE is very lightweight, and it doesn't take a lot of memory on the device."
"The solution is easy to install. It can run on a lot of different types of hardware. Creating virtual machines with it is really easy."
"In addition to the virtualization, the firewall and the routing functions that it provides are valuable."
"Its compatibility is most valuable."
"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

"Odin Virtuozzo has poor support and needs to improve."
"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."
"The only disadvantage of Proxmox VE is that it is a young solution so it does have some bugs."
"We are facing issues with disk utilization and disk performance."
"Since I face issues importing Windows OVA inside Proxmox VE, a clickable button should be added to select the OVA format and import it inside Proxmox VE."
"The product is still a little young so it is maturing, but new features are coming out all the time."
"Some of the more advanced features and options required for setup still need to use the console and hand edit config files."
"Lacking in enterprise features."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license for Odin Virtuozzo is based on consumption on demand."
"The way the licensing of Proxmox is structured, you can use it for free. It is an open-source solution, and you can use it for free, but if you do need support, then you have to pay for the support. So, you can use it in a way that you don't have to pay anything, which is a plus point for me. For people or users who have huge and more intense use cases, the advice or the recommendation is to always pay for support. In case something goes wrong, you can fall back on the team that will attend to your request. For me, at the moment, the cost is zero."
"The product is free."
"There is no subscription required for Proxmox VE."
"We are using the free community version of Proxmox VE."
"Because I'm using Proxmox VE for personal use and it's an AGPL license project, I can use it at home for free."
"An excellent choice for budget sensitive operations.​"
"The product is open-source and I rate its pricing an eight out of ten. You need to pay for support and it is costly."
"Proxmox is free."
