Proxmox VE Reviews

The product helps me to use a group of servers and improves the speed.

The solution's most valuable feature is backups.

Proxmox VE needs to make a deal with Veeam. I was also unable to make version upgrades. I have also encountered backup problems.

I have been using the product for seven months.

I rate Proxmox VE's stability a seven out of ten.

I rate the tool's scalability a five out of ten.

The solution's technical support is not good. I find support through the internet.

Neutral

The tools' deployment is easy and I rate it a seven out of ten. It took two hours to complete. Install Proxmox VE on the server, then proceed to install the hard disk. After that, configure it for the work system and install the desired system. Finally, install all the necessary programs on the server. You need one resource to handle the deployment.

The tool's deployment can be done in-house.

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.

I rate Proxmox VE an eight out of ten.

Private Cloud

We are a service provider and we use Proxmox VE. We use the virtualizer mainly.

The most valuable feature of Proxmox VE is its ease of use.

The virtualizer in Proxmox VE could improve.

I have been using Proxmox VE for approximately one month.

I rate the stability of Proxmox VE a seven out of ten.

I do not have any users yet but I have 10 potential users.

I rate the scalability of Proxmox VE an eight out of ten.

I rate the support from Proxmox VE a nine out of ten.

Positive

The initial setup of Proxmox VE is complex. The full deployment took many weeks and I am still configuring it.

I rate the initial setup of Proxmox VE a seven out of ten.

We used two people for the deployment of the solution.

The price of the solution is priced low.

There is a one-time purchase to use this solution.

I rate the price of Proxmox VE a seven out of ten.

I rate Proxmox VE an eight out of ten.

We use it wherever we need virtualization.

It fits in well with our organization. It works and does what it says it does.

Its performance and support can be improved. Currently, there is a cost for support.

We've been using this solution for probably two years now.

We are satisfied with the stability of the solution.

It leads itself well for scaling out. It is being used on almost all of our servers here. We have 46 users, and everyone who works here uses this solution.

I didn't contact them.

Before Proxmox, we used Zend Server.

The initial setup was fairly straightforward. The initial deployment probably took two hours.

We implemented it through an in-house team. We have two staff members for its deployment and maintenance. Their roles are IT Manager and Assistant IT Manager.

I'm sure there was or is an ROI, but I don't really get to see that end of the operation.

I am not aware of the licensing cost, but there is a cost for support.

We tried VMware and decided to go with Proxmox VE. The cost was the key factor.

I would highly recommend this solution. I would rate Proxmox VE a nine out of ten.

On-premises

I am using it to virtualize microservices.

I have also begun to integrate Proxmox into my DevOps pipeline through scripting.

I have a sensible virtualization technology to spin up VMs on demand.

I'm using several servers now.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The stability is good.

You can scale the solution.

The documentation is great.

If you have problems, you can find answers on their website.

I can't speak to any improvements. It is not lacking features. I have been keeping up with new versions and am thankful for all of the improvements made through the years.

I've been using the solution for five years now.

The stability is very good. It's reliable. There aren't bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

I haven't had any problems with scalability. I'm using it on several servers with large memory and hard disks and it's doing just fine.

M2 disks are completely supported if the bare metal server does.

Setting up the firewall is so easy that it can be managed with scripting.

Proxmox has become a centre of our IT-infrastructure.

I've only used their website when I've had questions. I've never spoken to anyone directly. Therefore, I can't speak to personal experience with technical support.

Positive

We previously used VMware. I switched due to the fact that I wanted to try something different.

The initial setup is not overly complex. It's very straightforward and very simple. 

I had a server that I needed to expose to the internet and I just decided to use it instead of VMware and it worked.

You only really need one person to handle maintenance, however, we have two people on staff that can handle those types of responsibilities. 

I handled the initial setup on my own. I did not need to use an implementation specialist or consultant. 

I've seen a very good ROI.

Collaboration and the networking of more than one server is becoming more important to me now. Preparing to switch to their licensing plan.

I just went directly to this product. I'm aware of other possibilities, KVM and others, however, I decided on Proxmox as it had a good following and good documentation.

Version 8 is almost completely in use now. Two servers are going to be upgraded to 8.

The ability to bond networks is fantastic. We can load-balance without difficulty.

I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten.

We are using Proxmox VE for our internal services, we have a few virtual machines that run our mail servers, call center solutions, TDX, and other applications. Proxmox VE is a virtualized platform.

The most valuable feature of Proxmox VE is the speed. Additionally, I can modify the solution if needed because it is open-source and the integration of any kind of API and monitoring is hassle-free.

Proxmox VE can improve the management of virtual discs. For example, if my virtual disc is 200 GB and I want to decrease it is not easy. I have to do a lot of things to decrease the size of existing virtual machines. If the Proxmox VE team can make it easy for customers to instantly increase or decrease the virtual machine hard disc, it will be very helpful for me. However, the containers I can do it easily.

I have been using Proxmox VE for approximately seven years.

I rate the stability ofProxmox VE an eight out of ten.

The scalability of Proxmox VE could improve. The vertical scaling needs improvement. If the vertical scaling was better I could input the resources on the fly without shutting down the system. This would make it a lot easier.

We have approximately six technical support staff using this solution in my company. We plan to increase our usage of this solution.

I rate the scalability of Proxmox VE a six out of ten.

I have not had any issues that I would need to contact support about. 

I used Oracle Virtual Box and VMware prior to Proxmox VE. We choose Proxmox VE because of the cost savings, it is free.

Proxmox VE's initial setup of easy. I started the implementation process by selecting a location, installing the hardware and Proxmox VE, and then I made the cluster without the Proxmox VE. The last step was to implement my virtual machine. The full process did not take more than two hours.

I rate the initial setup of Proxmox VE a nine out of ten.

I did the implementation of this solution myself.

This is a free open-source solution.

My advice to others would be to choose simple solutions for only virtual machines with no extra integration of other features. This is an open-source solution and if someone wants to do something on the backend many things could go wrong. It is best to start with something simple, such as virtual machines with containers only. After they have had some experience then they can expand their knowledge with other solutions.

I rate Proxmox VE an eight out of ten.

On-premises

We have many use cases for this solution, including electric services. 

We are happy with Proxmox VE. We use it as part of a cluster. The solution has a very good user interface and price. 

I had a few problems regarding instability.

One additional feature that could be beneficial is application storage. 

I have been using the solution for two years. 

When it comes to scalability, I am satisfied with Proxmox. I got everything that I needed with Proxmox. Currently, my team consists of 15 people but we have 1,000 clients.

We migrated our old servers with Proxmox VE. 

The initial setup was simple. Deployment took us several weeks. 

We do not have any licensing costs. 

We did not evaluate other options. We tried out Proxmox VE two years ago and have been using it since. 

I recommend the main features of this solution considering its price. The only disadvantage of Proxmox VE is that it is a young solution so it does have some bugs.

On-premises

There are a number of services that we need, such as a dedicated phone system and an Active Directory server, that we run in a virtualized environment. Doing so means that we don't need to use dedicated hardware for them.

This is a low-use, but a high-need solution for us. It is helpful because it means that we don't need dedicated hardware for all of our services. It has allowed us to grow the way we have, over the past couple of years.

The most valuable feature is the ease of deployment.

For the most part, it is quite user-friendly.

The interface can be a little bit rough in places. There are some things that need to be done using the command-line interface, and these should be moved into the web-based interface. There are also aspects related to storage that are difficult to do with the interface.

We have been using Proxmox for between two and three years.

We have had absolutely no problems with stability.

Scalability is excellent and it seems to run with quite a low overhead.

I have been experimenting with adding nodes to the cluster so that we can create more of a high-availability system. The process is just a matter of installing the software and then copying and pasting the license key. It couldn't be easier.

I have not had problems that necessitated contacting technical support.

I did not use a similar solution prior to implementing Proxmox.

The initial setup is easy.

I am the person who is responsible for configuring and maintaining Proxmox.

This is a product that I recommend trying. There are others that are bigger and better, albeit priced accordingly. This should definitely be tried and put through its paces.

Overall, this is a good product, although there is always room for improvement.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

On-premises

We use VM for high availability. 

Proxmox VE has many containers. You need to download the image and do basic configuration, after which it is operational within a few minutes. The solution provides many containers that are light in use and don't use a lot of memory. You don't have to spend a lot of resources. 

The tool needs to add a lot of containers. 

I rate the product's scalability a ten out of ten. 

Proxmox VE's installation is very simple. 

Proxmox VE is free of cost. 

Proxmox VE is free and is a lot more professional than VMware. I rate it a ten out of ten.
