Overall Satisfaction with Hyper-V
Hyper-v was used to host all Windows infrastructure (700+ servers) in the company. We migrated from VMware, which saved the company over 100K in licensing.
- Built into Windows, and free!
- It's getting better at having the same functionality as VMware.
- Microsoft support is very active with assistance.
- Continuing to integrate with Azure for hybrid deployments.
- Installation, particularly networking, is difficult.
- Need to improve upon cluster stability.
- Several components are needed to manage from hardware to Hyper-V. Needs a single pane of glass.
- Freed up considerable money over VMware.
- Hosted 1000+ VMs on 8 hosts, whish saved money.
- Negative impact was downtime of critical business process because of cluster instability.
It is close, but VMware is still the preferred virtualization solution. It is far more mature and with a larger install base.
