Why is your place of work not moving wholesale to Proxmox? It's mad that HyperV is chosen as a solution in this day and age.

Proxmox is amateur hour. No enterprise support

24/7 support will be available starting in October:
* https://www.proxmox.com/en/about/company-details/press-relea...
The other thing perhaps worth noting that the entire stack is open source, even Proxmox's 'special sauce' for management. Depending on your organization, if you can solve a problem with Debian (and Qemu) you can solve a problem with Proxmox.
If you can solve a problem with Debian and Qemu Proxmox gives you nothing.
Better to just use same automation you use for VMs to just keep fleet of bare Debian + KVM machines.
Proxmox is for when you don't have a bunch of Linux experts on board. And that's also kinda what enterprises want to pay for, removing "liability" of having to keep very competent team.
...the fact that ends up costing them more everywhere is of no concern to middle management
This is loser talk.
Is enterprise support super valuable these days when you get shafted anyway? Just pay for in house ya dingus.
Because it is made of a lot of open source components glued together in different weird ways. Sure, I would trust KVM over Hyper-V any day, but the management sucks for Proxmox.
If they build their new Datacenter Manager offering into what vCenter offered and abstract away all the ugliness (imagine creating a "distributed" switch on Proxmox with two clicks) I think they will make a killing.
