Overall Satisfaction with Hyper-V
We use Hyper-V to run all our production servers. Since we have Windows Server Datacenter, we are not restricted in the number of virtual machines we can run. Since we have one physical server that is purposed for Hyper-V, we have saved quite a bit on hardware while keeping our systems up-to-date and available.
- Ease of creating new virtual machines.
- Integrates with Microsoft environment seamlessly.
- Provides central management of all server images.
- Provisioning of virtual machines can be unclear at first.
- Networking could be easier.
- Integrated with Windows Server.
- Free
- Easy to use.
- Hyper-V has helped us retire servers that were over 10 years old.
- Hyper-V simplified server management, returning precious time to IT staff.
Overall, VMWare appears to be more full-featured and perhaps a bit more robust, but the integration and no-cost factors of Hyper-V won the day. We have had no issues with Hyper-V since instigating it five years ago and do not regret the decision.
