ProxMox is the winner across the board, in pretty much all categories - it's not even close!

You've said a bunch of stuff I have yet to learn, but I think I understood the gist of it. Thanks for the video, I gather navigation of the subject wasn't to broach.
@JasonsLabVideos
Good video, altohough Esxi was my go to for home & work, they killed the industry so everyones now moving over to Hyper-v OR Proxmox.
@TDHobbies
The question is "are you going to keep using the free version of ESXi with no more updates?" Only other way is to pay for it, and for home use I can't see that many can afford to do that as a hobby.
@beuman0
I'm no expert in the field but I'm using both and going full Proxmox when I can. Been doing cool stuff with GPU passthrough lately
@darkenruso
Great video. I recently set up a proxmox cluster and compared it to vmware and I found 2 negative points. Since proxmox has evolved to version 8, I don't understand how it is possible that there isn't a more orderly way to manage virtual machines like vmware and folders do, none of the proxmox options are useful for effectively managing a cluster with 30+ virtual machines. There is an option that is “Folders View” where you cannot manage folders... The other point regarding is containers, what proxmox offers is useless since most of the developments in pipe end in a container in a registry which offers the ease of making a "pull" of the image. In this case the container starts from scratch and everything has to be built from scratch. Proxmox seems promising but needs to polish certain aspects to be a definitive replacement.

I bought VMUG last year and migrated from Proxmox to ESXi with vCenter. I'm still working on improving my setup to include vSAN, but so far I'm really happy I made the change. Proxmox still has a lot of quirks. The lack of centralized management plane for multiple non clustered hosts is a deal breaker for me. For my use case I want to live-migrate VMs to hosts that are powered on only when I need the extra capacity, or when I'm taking down one of the 24/7 hosts down for maintenance. As far as I know there's still no supported way to do that in Proxmox.

Probably going to take heat for this, but after deploying Proxmox in production, I am not very happy with it. Its great for home lab, however its not as resilient as ESXi. Cancelling ongoing tasks either takes a lot of time or just never goes through. A force shutdown of a VM, made it not boot up anymore, because the hard drive was mechanical, and the boot up check was taking too long for its own taste, and failing. Had to do lots of reasearch to find a fix, whixh is through CLI, an disable a disk check process. Over a decade with ESXi, had to use the CLI maybe once. Maybe for a Linux background admins its easier, however even reading their forums, and employee responses it feels like a not fully baked product, at least for enterprise. Alos the built in backup is full only, and 3rd party, agentless backup is sparce.

Great video, thanks form Saudia Araiba!
@Br0llyLSSJ
Would be nice if you could also do a comparison with xcp-ng with both XO (build by sources) and XOA (they have a free offering available).
@faizannabi7540
I know proxmox is free and is very good but is it used in business/enterprises for professional use?
@bianco1974nero
Just a dumb question. VMware workstation is coming with a built-in server. At least that was so until version 15. Is it possible to declare it as an esxi storage in Proxmox to import old VMware workstation machines?
@ViciousXUSMC
About to finally shut down my R710 running ESXi and build a new machine with newer hardware and Proxmox. I like ESXi better and the fact its an enterprise product but not happy with the limitations running the free version and not willing to spend money on it at this time for say vMUG. Hopefully I like the change and it wont be hard to move my ESXi VM's to Proxmox. The issue is that the free version may not have the same output as the paid version to use the new import wizard, it probably uses the same API as snapshots and backups that is restricted on free. But I do have full copies of my virtual machines disks and configuration files because I do my backups via SFTP and just grab a full copy of the machine while its powered off.
@naz5924
I want to delve into vmware as want to learn. My question if if i want2d to run 6-8 vms simultaneously to replicate a work environment is that possible? Do i need to pay for this? The vms will be running vare mimimum stuff. Also would i need to get a server ir can i use a gaming pc with dual boot?
@computerdave06
My current dilemma is old hardware that can't run the ESXi past v6 (I have VMUG). I looked into Proxmox and couldn't run that on my old hardware either. The only way I was able to get anything going again was with xcp-ng; while not my favorite it has my small number of homelab vms running again after importing the .ova's I exported.
@pozavtrakakal
Да, но где тесты производительности?
@akaGoolash
Still Proxmox is not considered as enterprise grade server virtualization platform by companies like Gartner, question is will you use it in Enterprises for production systems hosting?
@RocketLR
the esxi image can be downloaded for free.. Licenses can be... aquired from creative places. And im running an esxi on my old gaming computer with realtek nic. Just need to modify the esxi image.. theres a ps1 script for that and lots of tutorials. im gonna set up a proxmox now because i dont want to buy server grade hardware all the time. GPU passthrough seem to work better there as well.
