Overall Satisfaction with Hyper-V
We used to use Hyper-V in our organization for our virtualized workloads. Hyper-Vprovides a solution for growing organizations that have way too much of a physical presence. Without Hyper-V, datacenters would be filled with single-purpose, standalone servers. Having said that, 99% of our environment currently runs on ESXi. There are things ESXi does better and that is why we chose to move off of Hyper-V.
Pros
- DR and Backup - Hyper-V can make backup copies of VM's and store them elsewhere.
- Supports live migrations, storage migrations, and import/export.
Cons
- Does not support macOS.
- Clustered shared volume is difficult to implement at first.
- Scalability.
- Minimized downtime for VM's.
- ROI was high, we were able to consolidate our DC.
- Going from standalone to Hyper-V saved us a lot of management overhead.
ESXi, to me, seems to do things better in almost every way. It is much quicker to deploy ESXi compared to Hyper-V. I also feel like Hyper-V requires more frequent updates so I'm not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing.
