I'm looking for those who have experience running ESXi clusters (with full either enterprise or VMUG licensing) and have switched to Proxmox to chime in and tell me what features you (or in this case I) would lose by switching.
Features I use a lot:
The biggest thing I can't seem to find a good alterative to is Veeam Backup solution. I love Veeam and use it for VM Backups as well as file by file backups (Both Windows and Linux). If I can't find a good free alternative I don't think I could make the switch.
Features I use a lot:
- HA
- Live Migration (vMotion)
- Distributed Switching (not a deal breaker but a "would like to have")
- Hardware passthrough (HBA's and USB devices available to VM's pre-OS boot).
