How Alternatives Are Selected

1. vSphere

By Broadcom (VMware)

4.3

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

4.3

My experience with Hyper-V is truly phenomenal, normally for Windows platform. Hyper-V platform has strong integration features with Azure AD, Windows Server environments and System Center which make virtualization more efficient and strong compared to other virtualisation systems. Performance and stability are also exceptional points that need to be considered for most workloads, and built-in features such as failover clustering and replication of current system add extra reliability without the need for extra cost.Read all insights and reviews for Hyper-V

3. Nutanix Cloud Platform

4.6

For quite some time, it has been in the leader segment of HCI and yet again in the Distributed Hybrid Infrastructure Category. The reason why its adoption gradually increased is because it came out as a single stack and redefined the HCI category with unified management, storage and compute in a single pane. This gives the customer the flexibility to choose both hybrid and all-flash storage in a single cluster. However, to adopt it an organization needs to invest in training and enablement of the resources. Read all insights and reviews for Nutanix Cloud Platform

5. XenServer

4.1

It was a very poor decision to choose this product which ended up in wasting money and hardware still sitting in our data center that can't be used since its already end of life and end of support. They tried their best to implement it in our environment but because of the complexity it never worked. Not even a small portion of those services ever worked.Read all insights and reviews for XenServer

We are new to this technology but for now we had a positive overall experience. The platform is stable and well integrated with Oracle Linux, and also provides a solid KVM based virtualization stack. It works reliably for Oracle workloads and general purpose virtual machines, however the ecosystem and tooling needs to be more mature.Read all insights and reviews for VM Server
