We performed a comparison between Citrix Hypervisor and Oracle VM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Server Virtualization Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The core function enables multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical server. This maximizes hardware utilization and efficiency."
"The feature I find most valuable, is its performance"
"Citrix is easy to use and is stable."
"Citrix Hypervisor does a great job overall, such as the virtualization of the host. It's very easy to manage the virtual machine, to create, and configure high availability."
"We can easily migrate VMs from one host to another."
"The solution integrates well with other solutions, which makes it really strong as a primary solution to deploy."
"The ability to move a virtual machine while it is running is a big advantage."
"I find it very easy to manage and at a cost that small customers would never refuse (free)."
"I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"The biggest advantage of Oracle VM is that you can separate your clusters to get your licenses agreement in scope."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It's easy to adjust the size up and down."
"What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."
"The network capabilities are good."
"It is a stable product."
"The support staff in the tech support team at Oracle has improved. I find them extremely helpful and they give very solid support."
"I think the technical support could be better."
"The solution is only in English. It would be ideal if it was in Portuguese."
"Network management needs improvement because it is not very stable."
"It needs improvement with the security features."
"I find that the features in Citrix Hypervisor are not as rich as with VMware. It would be a benefit if they had some of the other features VMware has, such as the ability to expand a drive on the fly. You do not have to take down the machine to do it but in Citrix you do."
"The self-service user portal needs to be more granular and be more customizable."
"The built-in networking features are a little limited."
"The USB support for the virtual server needs improvement."
"The tool's price and stability could be better."
"The usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"The documentation for implementation could be improved because we were not able to find an easy way to implement our company's features due to a lack of understanding."
"I would say third-party plugins to other storage vendors. There are a lot of converged infrastructure setups; one that we have, multiple different hardware vendors. So that would be something we could definitely be looking for."
"Oracle VM should have centralized storage, without which you can't clone or move one VM to another."
"With our current OVM Manager version, migrating a VM from one repository to another repository was really complicated, especially editing and manually matching the configuration."
"The solution is an outdated Xen-based application."
"It was a complex setup. It was very difficult for me."
