Pros

"When you run templates on the containers on Virtuozzo they have a lot of back-ups."

"The solution's maintenance part was very easy."
"Scalability is excellent and it seems to run with quite a low overhead."

"The compatibility with non-English operating systems needs to be improved."

"The product is free."
"Proxmox VE is free of cost."
