Overall Satisfaction with Hyper-V

Hyper-V is a very cost effective and useful hypervisor. Features like replication and live migration give Hyper-V great disaster recovery or replication options for small to medium size businesses without the need to purchase much more expensive solutions like VMware. Migration from physical servers to Hyper-V VMs is very easy using many off the self products from multiple vendors.
  • Virtualize resources, all for one physical server to host many Virtual Machines
  • Provide easy disaster recovery and replication
  • Very very cost effective.
  • Scaling for large environments. No comparable solution to VMWares vCenter.
  • Failover of a VM to more than one host is limited.
  • Scale
  • Disaster recovery
  • Ease of use
  • Low cost.
  • Low cost
  • Easy virtualization deployment
  • Great security.
Hyper-V is much cheaper and does not have the license requirement of VMware. Hyper-V is not a product that scales like VMware and not well suited to a large datacenter.
