KVM

What do you like best?

KVM has been for our company one of the best virtualization because It supports x86 infrastructure. It's open source and you can download it for free and use for development on your virtual machine. I would say it's easy to use when you know the commands and everything.

What do you dislike?

What I dislike about KVM is the fact you have to know how to install it and it's not easy to install for everyone. Depending on the machines there may be incompatibility issues. The support takes more time to get a reply because it's a free product.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

I would recommend to everyone If you want an open source and free replacement for servers then you can give it a try. Configuration is really easy and doesn't takes a lot of time. This is a good solution If you want to install Windows on it. Don't forget this is an open source product so you can really trust this product for your company.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

We saved money with KVM because we needed servers with linux kernels and we just used KVM as virtualization. We installed many linux versions for the costumers and they were really greatful.
