How Alternatives Are Selected

1. vSphere

By Broadcom (VMware)

4.3

(1889 Ratings)

vSphere is essential in how we administer our VMWare virtual environment. It's a centralized tool that allows administrators full control over snapshots, backups, VM administration and migration. Features are intuitive and robust with options for monitoring, configuring, setting permissions, allocating datastores and networks, snapshots and updates. Features a status bar at the bottom to see what active tasks that are queued up. When you perform a task, like deleting a snapshot, you can see its progress. Integrating vSphere locally with SaaS Cloud assets is seamless and not too difficult to configure. Overall, it's an essential companion when managing multiple ESXi hosts and virtual workloads.

2. Hyper-V

By Microsoft

4.4

(732 Ratings)

Microsoft Hyper-V overall is a fantastic option to build infrastructure on if you're company is already harnessing other Microsoft products such as Windows Server. While it has its quirks and scaling pains (expensive on hardware, requiring constant capital expenses), I've found it extremely solid for SMB and mid-sized clients. Most clients are already using some Microsoft services which allows for simple integration into that environment. Overall, I would use Hyper-V assuming there are no immediate future plans (2-3 years) of scaling rapidly.

4. Red Hat Enterprise Linux

By IBM (Red Hat)

4.5

(143 Ratings)

It is best suited for environments that need open-source, customizable stacks. It offers great performance and control but requires clear and unambiguous planning and expertise. It works well with hybrid and cloud native setups. Alongside this, it is useful for enterprises that are already using Linux.

6. Red Hat Virtualization

By IBM (Red Hat)

4.3

(117 Ratings)

We've been using Red Hat Virtualization for a few years to run internal systems and some development workloads on-prem. At the time, we were already using Red Hat Enterprise Linux, so RHV felt like a natural extension of that setup. In day-to-day use, it was stable and did what we needed; mainly managing virtual machines and keeping our infrastructure running. Most of our workloads were Linux based, which worked well. It wasn't always the most intuitive platform, but once everything was set up, it ran reliably without too many issues.

7. VM Server

By Oracle

4.4

(74 Ratings)

Reliable for the workloads we're already running on it. However, due to it officially being a legacy product that is no longer receiving updates / new features, we are not using it for any new workloads.

8. Proxmox Virtual Environment

By Proxmox

4.4

(42 Ratings)

Weve had a genuinely positive experience with Proxmox. Its one of those platforms that just does what it says on the tin. We moved from a more expensive virtualization stack and were honestly surprised at how stable and capable Proxmox turned out to be. Its been rock-solid in production, easy to scale, and gives us easy to scale, and gives us enterprise-level functionality without the enterprise licensing shock. What has worked well is clustering, high availability, backups, and the overall flexibility of the platform. The open-source foundation also gives us confidence and transparency. What hasnt worked as well is the learning curve at the beginning especially if youre coming from some other tool and some of the documentation can feel a bit fragmented. But once youre comfortable with it, its extremely powerful.
