KVM Reviews

I'm a technical solution manager and we are customers of KVM. 

The screen and keyboard sharing feature is valuable. 

Monitoring and resolution are features which could be improved and I've found that if the product has not been used for some time, it needs to be re-set. 

I've been using this solution for over three years.

When the product is used frequently, it's stable, but if we don't touch it for some time, it needs to get synchronized again with the VGA or the HDMI, and there can be problems with that. 

The initial setup is not complex, but sometimes there's a problem and we need to unplug the cable in order to connect to the system.

I rate this solution a seven out of 10. 

We are no longer using this solution. We evaluated it, but I have not used it in a production environment.

This solution is used for virtualization.

We have an on-premises deployment.

same features that vmware have concerning disaster recovery, high availibility and live motion of vm

simplicity of installation

full interoprability with vm format (ova, ovf, ..) for been aable to move forward or backward to another virtualization solution

We did not test scalability during our evaluation.

We are currently using VMware in our production environment.

The initial setup of this solution is quite simple.

• Low cost, if not lowest.
• Great performance and scalability.
• Security is top-notch.
• Free.

Networking configuration might be annoying depending on how you want to set it up; usually works fine, though.

I have used it for one year.

We have not encountered any deployment issues.

We have not encountered any stability issues.

We have not encountered any scalability issues.

Well, none.

Unless you can count open forums?

I previously used VMware VM VirtualBox and then Workstation Pro. I switched because VMware is not free.

Initial setup was straightforward.

I implemented it in-house.

Since I invested 0 dollars on KVM and just as much time as you would think is worth... you do the math.
