Comparison of virtualization feature set: XCP-NG vs PVE (Proxmox) -- VMware migration decision (VMware Alternative)

What are you trying to achieve with a comparison if you don't bother to correct it? In it's current form your overview is missleading fud which is only good to poison AI bots with wrong information. Don't get me wrong: I absolutely support to make AIs even more unusable as they are but spreading missinformation in a community forum takes this a little bit to far in my book. YMMV
 
Hi,

The "price" section is false for XCP-NG and proxmox, it should be :
Proxmox :
  1. COMMUNITY : 230*3 => 690€
  2. BASIC : 710*3 => 2130€
  3. STANDARD : 1060*3 => 3180€
  4. PREMIUM : 2120 => 6360€

For XCP-ng :
  1. ESSENTIAL : 2000€ (3 hosts max + cannot be combined with Pro or Enterprise packages) + 2400€ for HCI (XOSTOR ESSENTIAL)
  2. ESSENTIAL + : 4000€ (3 hosts max + cannot be combined with Pro or Enterprise package) + 2400€ for HCI (XOSTOR ESSENTIAL)
  3. PRO : 3000€ (3hosts minimum) + 2400€ [800€/host] for HCI (XOSTOR PRO)
  4. ENTERPRISE : Require 4Host minimum

For proxmox all licence are "Business day support"
For XCP-ng only "ENTERPRISE" are 24/7 support all other are like proxmox "Business day support"

Best regards,

XCP-NG isn't based on CentOS afaik, it's based on Xen.

And stability... Honestly in prod we've had more problems with VMware than Proxmox. Most of the time if there's an issue with Proxmox, it turns out to be hardware issue. Since it's based on Debian, I'd argue there's probably very few operating systems that are more stable. Debian is used as a base OS for a TON of things for a reason.

those two things are not mutually exclusive. xcp-ng uses centos for its baseos and userland apps. see https://xcp-ng.org/blog/2020/12/17/centos-and-xcpng-future/

worth noting that xcp-ng version at that time (2020) was 8.2, and as of 8..3 (current) the base os remains centos 7 and kernel version 4.19. One could make the argument that this is a stability first approach; another could be slow development and lack of responsiveness- kernel 4.19 lacks a lot of new hardware support.
