Virtualizor or SolusVM?
Hey,
I don't know if my thread is right to be posted here or not, But i want to know which control panel of both are popular between let members and providers.
If you are using SolusVM or Virtualizor,
What is the advantages or disadvantages between them ? And why you are using Virtualizor or SolusVM?
For me i can see Virtualizor is 100 % better than SolusVM,
Helpful Support staff , Easy to use control panel, More options, No problems with the choose of the Operating System templates using WHMCS. And much more?! and this is why i'm still using both on my servers but from my experience Virtualizor is better.
Thanked by 1nunuigti

There was another thread posted earlier about this, go check there.
I use Virtualizor. I have no experience with Solus - But one company releases regular updates and the other... yeah.. you get my point.
SolusVM wins on design.
Virtualizor wins on functionality.
Let's see what the future holds.
I used SolusVM for about a year, and then migrated to Virtualizor which I'm on now. Overall, I'd recommend Virtualizor.
Some reasons for this were:
Some downsides of Virtualizor? The client and admin area is a lot uglier than SolusVM. Virtualizor support is helpful and always fixes my issues, but I don't think I've ever gotten a response from them quicker than 24 hours. I dread the day that I'll ever need their support for something critical. Also, Virtualizor doesn't really have WHMCS email templates so we have to send login credential mail via the Virtualizor master. It's not a huge issue, but it's kind of inconvenient to have to send multiple mails for something SolusVM did all together.
The migration from SolusVM->Virtualizor was relatively painless, so if you do decide to use SolusVM you can always switch up to Virtualizor later. I'm not so sure about doing that vice versa.
I prefer SolusVM, in my opinion it's easier to use and looks better for people with less knowledge about things around VPS, and that's what matters more to me. The only complaints I've had were not related to the client end. Right now, I don't have any issues, I did, but they were resolved one way or another.
Virtualizor is better featured, considering (I think?) it fully supports VZ 7, but my OpenVZ and KVM all run fine right now.
But I'm not loyal to one service, if something happened that negatively affected my services I would drop it. Same could be said about any other.
both crap, code own Openstack KVM
Why just those two? Perhaps there is a market for something new?
Virtualizor!
SolusVM was great when it launched. The updates/fixes slowed down till the point where most of the providers got frustrated and started fixing bugs/problems on their own.
For more "thrilling experience" I'm tagging @AnthonySmith
For you Solus, for others Virtualizor.
i have been using virtualizor and running very well
i still confused about their license type
@AnthonySmith
Both are VPS management control panels but which one to choose is just the matter of preference I think.
SolusVM has pretty clean and stable interface on the contrary Virtualizor is little confusing for new users.
@AnthonySmith +1
IIRC, Anthony Smith is not a control panel. Yet.
Nah just inviting him to once more get a chance to follow his SolusVM crusade :P
Tbh he just always seems to outline the pros/cons of each of them with very much detail (probably because he had to mess so mich around with them) hence the tag.
I wouldn't mind an AnthonySmithCP (TM) though :P
Yep, i guess if you are not selling managed services and are catering for 'dummys' Solusvm could be better.
However, it could also be argued that solusvm requiring a separate login and random username is equally as confusing for 'new users'
Anyway.
SOLUSVM: End user buys a VPS, they get this:
VIRTUALIZOR: end user buys a VPS they do not need any seperate logins or panels, this is what they get in your billing panel with no seperate login portal or seperate logn, username/password required:
wow, vir seems pretty good.
As much as I bitch about Virtualizor being ugly- at least it works.
Alas, Virtualizor is still a bunch of crappy code taped together on the same shitty foundation that Solus was built on.
I thought Virtualizor actually uses libvirtd, whereas Solus is literally shell scripts..
Virtualizor definitely still uses libvirt
They're both special in their own ways.
mate let me tell you a few facts...
rather then some personal fancies, if one has to be unbiased about the choice of control panel, all would agree, that for business purpose we always require, something which is rigorously developed/patched/fixed and feature rich
and virtualizor has, it seems like, become a household name, synonym to virtualization control panel to many providers.
if you wish to test, go alive, be on production..... or for what ever your need would be, best pricing and feature rich is, off-course virtualizor panel.
take some time to surf through their site and rest will be, you would end up becoming another fan of this panel.
the support is very friendly (yes at times they do have festivals, etc but else wish quick and responsive).
they have an in-house build and in-house maintained module for whmcs (as well as blesta)
for solusvm, something like this module is highly priced (at-least for biggeners)
and many many more things, i could go on writing and writing.....
