Overall Satisfaction with Hyper-V

I use Hyper-V for my personal needs. I use it for the virtual environment of solving possible issues that can happen inside this virtual network. Such as DNS, IP conflict, sharing, and permissions. I had around 7 machines and one of them was a server machine. Hyper-V helps me to easily toggle between those machines and pinpoint the issue without any trouble.
  • Remote Connection works perfectly. It's easy to set up, control and maintain.
  • Organizing your environment is really easy. You can label every machine and leave notes next to them so you don't get confused.
  • Doesn't waste any necessary resources. It manages RAM and CPU usage pretty well, sleep option works like a charm.
  • It should be able to provide end user with a more convenient first setup of Virtual or remote Machine. It should be able to do this with machines on the local network.
  • Some automatization is needed on the maintenance level, there is a lot of things that you have to do manually instead automatically.
  • There cannot be any negative impact, Hyper-V is a free tool that comes alongside Windows OS, be it a windows 7, 8 or 10.
  • If you invest in coaching your staff to handle Hyper-V it could be a great return on investment.
Hyper-V is all around well-suited tool for almost any scenario when if you compare it with their respective competitors. It can be used for a single machine for testing purposes only, it can be applied for large-scale networks, either virtual or existing ones. Great set of tools sets it apart from any similar software on the market.
Hyper-V is well suited for some larger scale networks and projects. It shouldn't be used in any case as a Virtual player for one single virtual machine. So the downside of Hyper-V would be its lack of awareness for a single Virtual machine but better usage overall for a great number of machines.

Hyper-V is good for maintaining real networks and connecting to the servers.
