Hey, Me and a colleague of mine are getting tired of using VMWare especially since they are were bought by broadcom and changes are certainly bound to happen. Now we would like to know what other alternatives there are and what people are commonly using. I know about Hyper-V which is not exactly our solution and proxmox is a hard no for my colleague. Are there any other good alternatives we should know off and what are their pros and cons compared to VMWare? Do they even have a feature that you would consider, you cannot live without?
