"It depends". Which version of Hyper-V are you looking at? (Assuming 2012 R2) What guest OS(es) do you need to support? How many host servers do you have? Do you have System Center licenses?
The reason for System Center is that System Center Virtual Machine Manager is the approximate equivalent for vCenter Server. There is a Microsoft Virtual Academy course (free) that's HyperV & System Center for VMware admins that I'd highly suggest checking out.

We're running VMware standard in production, but we're about to put up Hyper-V in our DMZ, for the experience, if nothing else.
