I was using ESXi for a good while, but reached the point where I needed to update to support - I think - Windows 10.  But the newer version of ESXi that played nicely with W10 didn't like my older hardware.

Our IT guys at work use Proxmox so I gave that a go.  I've got it running on 4 machines - one is a really low end HP thin client with an SSD grafted in that runs a couple of tiny VM's here at home.  It only has 4G of RAM so is very constrained in what it can do.  I have a couple of Dell R720's and a SuperMicro 1RU box in a local datacentre.  There'd be somewhere around 30 VM's running across those.

Proxmox - at least for me - just works for what I need.
