We performed a comparison between Hyper-V 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 initial setup was straightforward. It was easy to install."
"There are two very good things about this product including licensing and stability."
"Using cluster with Hyper-V had a major impact on our protection environment. So all applications were virtualized using Hyper-V."
"Hyper-V integrates well with other Microsoft solutions."
"I have found the GUI user-friendly and having the solution be a Windows application makes it familiar to users."
"The solution is stable."
"It's a stable product."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to integrate the Hyper-Visor center from one console."
"Because of the virtualization for Linux, I use just Linux basically in all VMs, a few with Windows."
"What I like best about this product is that it's free."
"The virtualization product Oracle puts out just complements the performance of the database."
"Its technical support is quite good."
"It provides enhancements for network and storage configuration, policy-based management for delivering application resource flexibility, and a GUI."
"I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"Ability to patch with no downtime."
"Its ease of management and simplicity are most valuable. It is free, and you can provision an unlimited number of VMs at no cost for clients. They also provide perfect support."
"Hyper-V could improve by making it easier to manage."
"It would be nice if they had video acceleration, they got rid of that and VMware has video acceleration."
"Hyper-V could benefit with improvements to their management interface."
"Hyper-V's management platform falls short in terms of scalability, especially when handling multiple Hyper-V servers. VMware has a central console to pull in all your VM servers, so you can easily manage them all through one console. You can manage servers in Hyper-V's admin centers, but it's not as scalable. It's doable with a couple of Hyper-V servers, but it becomes harder to manage when you get over two or three Hyper-V servers."
"I would like Microsoft to put more effort into the Admin Center interface and make it much easier. It is customizable, but you have to be a PowerShell expert to customize these things. That is a limitation."
"I am using this solution with E-Notes. I heard that there will be future improvements in integration of the E-notes systems. This would be very helpful."
"It needs to improve the handling of the amount of storage."
"When it comes to Hyper-V the worst thing is it's based on the Windows operating system. For the installation of Hyper-V, you're supposed to install the right operating system. For me, it's strange."
"The pricing could be cheaper. It is very pricey."
"The management can be improved more, and become more agile. It would be nice for it to become more rich in terms of UI. In addition, the replication to disaster recovery needs improvement."
"The tool's price and stability could be better."
"This solution is not as stable as other solutions in the market. But, Oracle has made an effort to improve these issues with recent updates."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"It doesn't monitor everything, which is a little bit more difficult. It doesn't seem to have as many features or metrics to monitor as some others do, so you have to make some homemade scripts to do it."
"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."
"I would like to be able to ship all of our logs. This feature could exist and I am just not aware of it."
