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.

Proxmox VE is a great product to use. It's an excellent alternative to the other options out there that are much more expensive. PVE is probably 80% feature parity with the competition, and that last 20% isn't needed in my organization, but it may be in yours. The biggest issue with Proxmox is the support. It is only available during EU time, which isn't helpful when located in other parts of the world. But, I haven't needed to use support because the community documentation has been good enough, and PVE is very stable.
