Overall Satisfaction with Hyper-V

We run almost all our servers virtualized and Hyper-V was the best and most cost-effective option. Especially in an almost full Windows Environment.

Pros

  • Server Virtualisation.
  • Transfer to different host.
  • Good integration.

Cons

  • It works best in a Windows environment.
  • Integrate well in a Windows environment.
  • Server virtualisation.
  • Cost effective.
  • It brought down our virtualisation cost.
  • It integrated in our Windows Domain.
  • One less OS to worry about.
It is much cheaper and has at least the same functionality as what we use. It integrates better in our Windows environment and it works more familiar with similar tools that we already use. And it is on fewer vendors, much easier for support. Very happy with the switch from VMware.

Do you think Hyper-V delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Hyper-V's feature set?

Yes

Did Hyper-V live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Hyper-V go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Hyper-V again?

Yes

We run all our Windows servers virtualized on a couple of physical servers. All the hosts run Hyper-V servers and each will run a couple of virtual servers. It is easy to do backups and restore full VMs when needed. Some VMs we have on multiple hosts in case a host goes down and we quickly need to get the VM up and running again.
