KVM is flexible, available at no cost, but not necessarily for the faint of heart...
What do you like best about the product?
I like that there's no licensing cost. I like the flexibility on tap. Overall with some technical familiarity you can deploy in [relative] confidence.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the steep learning curve, the lack of commercial support, and the finicky nature of the older, less mature versions. Centralized management is not really fleshed out, even though things like WebVirtMgr can be configured. Maintenance can be tricky. Migration from one host to another isn't very straightforward either.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In areas where there's no virtualization budget but you need VMs, and can't or won't use VirtualBox or Xen, KVM is an option...
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I just read that Amazon is moving AWS away from Xen and towards KVM. That's huge news. I would imagine that it will only become better, more stable, and more fully featured with that kind of user base behind it, on top of the current base!

KVM handles everything we need
What do you like best about the product?
We run multiple versions of Linux servers for several clients on a few machines.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing I have found to dislike yet after 2+ years.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We do server hosting for several clients who have a need for different versions of LInux - from RedHat 9.0 to CentOS 7.3. KVM handles all of the quite well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We run from one to four virtual Linux servers on one hypervisor. I understand KVM can run Windows virtual machines, but we have no need for that.
Good, efficient Linux Distro

It has stronger corporate support than most other Linux Distributions.

The responsiveness of support when our company has had issues, could be stronger.

It provides a platform solution for Webmethods middleware, and for some Java applications running within Websphere.
RedHat Enterprise Linux: A Linux Distribution worth paying for.
What do you like best about the product?
Linux operating systems tend to be very stable. Once you've set them up, they require very little downtime, except for patching purposes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Linux distributions can be difficult to configure if you are not familiar with them, and require a bit more effort to optimize than other operating systems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
RedHat Enterprise Linux makes for a wonderful server platform. Once you have it set up, there is very little interaction necessary, you can just let it run.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are free distributions of the Linux Operating system out there. The value in RedHat Enterprise Linux, which is what you pay for, is the support the company offers you.

Connecting with servers such like HP and ZT models. No benefits!
