Comment summary: Proxmox Virtual Environment is highly appreciated for its advanced features like clustering, live migration, and VM backup, making it a robust option for personal clouds and homelabs. Users commend its open-source nature and comprehensive documentation, though some mention challenges with GUI compatibility and complex terminal commands for setup. While some find it less flexible than commercial solutions like VMware, it remains favored for its balance of enterprise capabilities and open-source flexibility.

Its open sourced, supports clustering with failover, live migrations and so much more, has good documentation and user forum with creator support even for non subscribed users!

Great enterprise features like commercial enterprise support from the developers and features like live-migration, HA, fast incremental backups with PBS, integrated SDN (tech preview, but works great) and management for hyperconverged Ceph storage cluster. The API and open source model makes it much more flexible than the proprietary alternatives.

Using Proxmox for few years now, great hypervisor for anything. Easy to backup and restore, easy to migrate and manipulate VMs.

Recommend to anyone who wants to create their own homelab.

11/10 :D

Is a somewhat plug & play solution for a homelab environment. community & documentation is vary helpful.

Would not suggest this for a enterprise enviroment, or cluster it is not as flexible as VMware or other solutions.
