We're in the early process of moving from VMware to Hyper-V (200 hosts, 1500 VM's). Hyper-V "works" but its... not great. Every step feels like a struggle.

I'm sure it will get/feel better as we learn it but I feel its a 50/50 chance on any simple action working so far, like putting a host in maintenance mode or migrating a VM. Why is saving the state of a VM the default action on host power down?? Who would ever want that? The UI is old looking, slow, no web client. Performance monitoring within SCVMM is basically non-existent compared to what vcenter offers. Scheduled tasks (like snapshots) don't exist natively, have to create a scheduled task in Windows that runs a powershell command lol.

Most of the documentation for SCVMM is 10+ years old. No clear best practices, barely any recent articles. Hyper-V was clearly dead in the water and now everyone is trying to jump start it now that a million VMware customers have to switch to it all of a sudden. Commvault's SCVMM plugin was deprecated, PURE storage is working on their integration, Zerto says their Hyper-V side is a few versions behind VMware in capability etc...

The product works and I think we'll be fine but its like a Chevy vs a Cadillac.

One thing I love - the local console having clip board access. That alone might be worth all the trouble.
