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…

Offers good performance and is useful for banking systems
Speaking about the application deployment process, I work at the L1 level in my company. In my company, the L3 is a different department that manages the application deployment process, and most of them go for tools apart from the ones under VMware to manage the VMs. I am only creating new VMs and assigning RAM space, and if something comes up, then I create new RHEL-based systems. When it comes to the application deployment process, my company manually deploys the applications. For automation purposes, our company uses Jenkins to collect the logs and provide a GUI with the help of a username and password to the end user, after which they can collect the logs from Jenkins. I work at an L1 level in my company. The integrations and infrastructure-related areas of the product are managed by another team in my company. I recommend the product to those who plan to use it. Nowadays, people don't prefer to go for cloud-based solutions. Most of the companies prefer VMware as they want some level of security in the environment. VMware allows users to have in-house products. Most companies or banks are not moving over to cloud-based tools. VMware is used in banking systems. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

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."
"This solution is very stable. It's scalable and simple to set up."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"Workloads; We use vSphere for mission-critical apps including SAP and and part of our internal development in C+, for the solution that collects everything for the buyers."
"The GUI is very simple to use."
"It is a powerful solution that enables us to take a snapshot and clone any version of machine."
"Provides good backup to our servers."
"Since it is riding inside of a multi-hardware environment, downtime is virtually nothing."
"This product is useful for running multiple virtual machines from a single server so that people can utilize the hardware resources in their organization. Its ability for backups is also valuable. In case of a disaster, you can recover the entire server from the images. It is easy to use. In terms of features, whatever they are providing is more than sufficient for us. We are not exploiting this product up to a hundred percent."
 

Cons

"Odin Virtuozzo has poor support and needs to improve."
"The solution is stable. However, it could improve by being more secure."
"The solution could be more stable."
"Integration with different platforms could be improved."
"Response time could be improved."
"The improvement is more from a licensing perspective rather than from a feature functionality perspective. There could be more flexibility and fewer model options to make it easier to sell. Today, there are so many different options available, and sometimes, it is not really clear which one is the right version or the right model to propose."
"We stopped using a lot of cloud services. However, I see that VMware has integrated with Amazon Cloud. We will now to have to move everything to the cloud."
"I would suggest that the tool reconsider its pricing strategy. The recent price hikes could potentially pose a problem for VMware in the future. The recent price increases, especially since Broadcom acquired them, seem excessive. There are reports of businesses experiencing massive price hikes, sometimes as much as 10-30 times higher. This is causing smaller businesses to consider exiting the space altogether."
"The container management could be improved. It's far from perfect right now."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license for Odin Virtuozzo is based on consumption on demand."
"It is expensive. Other solutions on the market are free. We had to plan with VMware how many hosts that we needed in order to determine the price."
"vSphere has improved our organization by allowing us to deliver rock solid stability to our clients in a cost competitive fashion."
"The price of this solution is mid-range."
"Its price could be lower. There is the cost of one license, and then there is the subscription cost for support."
"I think the licensing cost depends on the number of users."
"Pricing is insanely expensive."
"The product is very expensive."
"Our customers incur a yearly licensing fee, one of three or five years, in fact."

Why KVM??? Help please!
