What do you dislike?

There is nothing currently that I dislike about Xenserver.

What do you like best?

I liked that xenserver is able handle multiple operating systems on a single device. This allowed us to run multiple operations from a single server. Hosting Xenapp applications and users virtual machines from the same location made managing and monitoring a much more enjoyable process.

I primarily liked that xenserver was very robust when it came to GPU within VDI environments. We could easily show off how GPUs and VDI environments were a possibility to those in the autocad and design fields.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Xenserver is opensource and free. There is also very good support for GPUs on the xenserver hypervisors if your company is looking to go in that direction.

What do you dislike?

Sometimes the hypervisor does find the storage and need to plug/unplug several times to enable again (increasing the VM downtime)

What do you like best?

The openness of the underling hypervisor (so we can do stuff like software raid, custom ssh ports)

Docker container support

What do you dislike?

Xenserver has a fame to have low market share, so many application developers do not care to be compatible with Xenserver. (Not really Xenserver fault, but has some impacts).

Xenserver still takes too long to put available guest os compatibility with new linux releases.

What do you like best?

XenServer has a wide range of possibilities and implementation sizes, you can use it as a small user with a single host, a single cluster with few hosts, multiple cluster into a single data center or even multiple clusters across multiple datacenter, all these hosts can be easily managed at a single point using xencenter.

Its very easy to install and configure, after some specific automation you will just need to boot your server and hit install.

Recommendations to others considering the product

If you are just trying go by yourself, but if you need to put a bigger production environment hire some citrix or partner support to help.

What do you dislike?

I like 99,999% of XenServer, the single problem it's the fact of not support VXLAN, in my perspective, if you put every hypervisor in a scale, all of them are the same or very close, just losing in the VXLAN functionality

What do you like best?

First of all it's free! I like too much of this product, It's easy to administer, today I'm responsible by an IT center that have hundreds and hundreds of XenServer hosts fully operational, to support the largest private cloud in latin America, one of the largest educational private cloud on the entire world

Recommendations to others considering the product

To future users I recommend the product by some reasons, when you compare all features with vmware for example, you probably will think vmware it's the best answer, but if you compare the features and limits that you need between them, you will see that both can help you, but one it's free, maybe you need to hire some support. My main recommendation to Citrix it is implement the VXLAN support on XenServer, with this feature is no limit to implement XenServer as Cloud Hypervisor in all my projects

What do you dislike?

The XenCenter manager tool is only available for Windows systems. If you are a Linux user, you will need to deploy a Windows machine only to use it.

What do you like best?

Citrix XenServer is an low cost solution that delivers the powerful infrastructure to build a virtualization environment. Is a very ease to use tool with advanced features such as high availability, multi-server management, reporting, live migration, power management, overcommit, etc.

You can use XenCenter to manage all your servers hosts, deploy virtual machines and manage your pool storages. The interface is very simple and provides access to almost all tools.

XenServer is very easy to install and configure and is free. If you want, you can buy support solutions for your company depending of your knowledge about the platform.

You can also integrate XenServer to orchestration solutions, such as Apache CloudStack to build a robust private cloud environment.

Recommendations to others considering the product

If you are looking for a low cost virtualization environment implementation you have to consider using Citrix XenServer. But is very important you make sure that the management team has enough experience to implement and manage the environment because you will not have support when using the free version.

What do you dislike?

technical support is not the same level of other similar product. vmware has a better technical support. the product does not have native integration between it and RedHat's RDO packages

What do you like best?

I like the ease of use, quality of the management of virtual machines. is a very reliable system, it is similar to VMware ESX, it is open source and is supported by many servers and storage systems.

I use it for some time. initially used for virtual machines demo and now has become the main system virtualization.They 'very reliable, the server hardware resources of virtualization are distributed properly.

Recommendations to others considering the product

you have to study well the product.It has a very comprehensive forum where you can get instant answers to all kinds of problems. including the very difficult

What do you dislike?

When citrix crashes, it's right back up which used to be a mess but has since been fixed and that would have been my only dislike.

What do you like best?

It keeps everything I one place, you log into citrix environment and everything is right there at your finger tips. Xen server has been pretty awesome. No downtime like we used to experience when we just had basic citrix servers.

What do you dislike?

Doesn't come with the xen server manager for linux. OS dependent

What do you like best?

The best part of the xen server, is easy to management. Provides lot of flexibility for admins and developers to create and manage multiple nodes on xen server. It's windows xen server manager provides lot of visibility and enables admins to monitor the resources of the underlying hardware.

Xen server api's developers to build 3rd party apps for better usability and handling.

Recommendations to others considering the product

If you are running your production workload on xen server, I suggest you guys to have a in house of xen server and use it for quality and qa purposes. which will help to reduce the infrastructure cost massively.
