Lo estuve probando y es bastante impresionante. Tiene múltiples opciones de configuración (No es tan sencillo como podría pensarse). Es sumamente estable y siendo libre, es una opción muy apetecible para el entorno empresarial. Sus requerimientos son inferiores a los de VMWare, por lo que también en ese sentido es más flexible.
I have been testing it and it is quite impressive. It has multiple configuration options (It is not as simple as you might think). It is extremely stable and being free, it is a very desirable option for the enterprise environment. Its requirements are lower than VMWare, so in that sense it is also more flexible.
By far, the most secure and cleanest Linux implementation available to use even as a workstation, works flawlessly with xrdp even as root when all other implementations fail or hang. Change the repo from the panel from enterprise to non-subscription for updates then (apt install cinnamon) and you're up and running with a gui desktop.
No nagging updates and spyware running under cron, to stop updates simply disable the repos from the panel.
A high regard for the software engineers at proxmox, they are masters of their craft.
Provides hundreds of enterprise class features completely for free and additionally enterprise support, which is nice if one uses it for (work) infrastructure.
I have hundreds of VMs and container running on a hyper-converged ceph cluster without a sweat since Proxmox VE 4, always could upgrade in-place without any actual trouble, following the official upgrade how-to pays off I guess.
The PVE API is also great, allows for customization and automating lots of setup specific tasks; cannot wait until the software defined network is out of experimental preview, as that's one of the last things still missing (and from what I could gather in their forum and some testlab tries it seems pretty promising already).
