Instelligence

Depends

Confidence is low: almost no public evidence exists beyond the company's own tagline, so only Australian orgs already sold on managed Proxmox should shortlist it after checking references directly.

Proxmox

Confidence: Medium

Buy if you have in-house Linux and virtualization skills and want to escape VMware pricing . the core is free, stable, and proven at scale.
