Proxmox VE is a complete virtualization management solution for servers. It is a powerful open-source platform and supports two virtualization technologies - KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) for virtual machines and LXC for containers. Proxmox VE has a central user interface that allows you to manage not only VMs and containers, but also storage resources, network configuration, and high availability for clusters. It is enterprise-ready and is valued for its scalability and maximum flexibility, enabling you to virtualize very demanding workloads. Proxmox VE makes it possible for you to easily install, manage, and monitor hyper-converged (HCI) data centers.

Purchase only the cheaper solution with support. I don’t recommend high-end licenses.
Compared with other vendors’ products, the pricing of the license is slightly lower. The annual S&S price is very affordable.

Hyper-V is a hardware virtualization tool that allows users to create virtual computer environments with multiple operating systems on a single physical server. Each virtual machine has computer parts, such as memory, processor, storage, and networking, and acts like a standard computer - running its own operating system and software programs. Each component of the virtual machine can be configured to meet your specific requirements.
It's cheap, but not the best.
Once we bought the datacenter version of the server, we did away with worrying about the cost of licensing our VMs separately

KVM stands for Kernel-based Virtual Machine, which is an open-source virtualization technology that is embedded in Linux. KVM allows users to seamlessly transform their Linux system into a hypervisor that, in turn, will enable a host machine to run numerous, isolated virtual environments or virtual machines (VMs).
It is free and can be run from your laptop, if needed, unlike VMware.
It is cheaper than other competitors like VMware or Hyper-V.

Able to grow with smaller, more linear increments of investment
The basic license that comes with the box allows basic virtualization features but advanced automation features would require an upgrade of licenses.
