Good performance
OS updates may require rebooting the server. Too many updates monthly

MS Windows administrative users have a head start with using Hyper-V as it is a familiar product.
Having the equivalent of ESXi's virtual console is something which is absolutely needed.

Although Hyper-v maintains most of the features of VMWare and is capable of running the workload, the performance of the servers did not seem as fast and would require a complete rebuild of the environment and retraining of our frontline support staff as well as back end management staff.

Cheap and easy is the name of the game. It has great support, it doesn't require additional licenses, it works the same if it is a cluster or stand-alone, and all the servers can be centrally managed from a system center virtual machine manager server, even when located at remote sites.
