Proxmox is free to use. Without the community license (about $93 per year,
per physical cpu socket), you simply don't get access to actual support or
their update repository, so all updates have to be done manually.
It's dirt cheap when compared to something like Citrix XenServer, VMWare, or
any of the other enterprise virtualization products.
The less you pay for a hypervisor, the more work you have to do to do things.
Stuff like VMWare and XenServer can be single-click deploy systems. While other
stuff like KVM with ovirt on Linux requires a fair amount of tinkering to get
everything running just right.
(I run VM clusters as part of my day job, we recently moved from Proxmox to Xen
because management is stupid and likes to waste money)
