Harvester has built-in redundancy with live migration between nodes. Automatic failover and live migration between nodes allows for Harvester updates without downtime. I can lose a node and keep things running. Live migration is fantastic because there are no interruptions while doing maintenance in an organization that runs 24/7. We have few and far between maintenance windows so this sort of hypervisor is absolutely necessary for environments like mine.
The fact they're reachable. Their (pre)sales are easy to work with, they have many partners in my country that are trustworthy, their support reacts in a very short timeframe (usually much shorter than their SLA), their auditors are very easy to work with.
There are options that I can mix and match for my organization's needs. Oh, and did I mention the ability to do a full POV with their community version? Yes, there is absolutely no risk in trying out their technology to determine fit for any organization.
The learning curve with using Harvester is a bit steep. Not just for the basic operation, but implementing it in a complex environment does require a lot of preliminary groundwork and understanding of its parts. I had to learn a lot about kubevirt in the command line, which was fun, but also a bit stressful after some self-inflicted wounds.
I sometimes miss some support articles. Usually, a ticket in their helpdesk does solve the issue, but I'd rather just have an item in the knowledge base about more exotic setups.
A few are not a good fit for my team. We use other products. However, many of the technologies that we use, we love.
