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."It runs our most critical workloads and supports all our branch offices."
"Live migration, SMB3."
"The solution has good scalability."
"The most valuable features are ease of use, and it gets the job done in a straightforward manner."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to integrate the Hyper-Visor center from one console."
"It is definitely the toughest competitor for VMware. It easily increases memory for our virtual machines."
"The setup was straightforward and easy for our company. The deployment was fast."
"It is a very stable product. We have not had any issues with Hyper-V crashing itself."
"It's not a very expensive product."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"It is very useful for the project management of our company."
"Oracle VM is user-friendly and facilitates compliance with Oracle Licensing, a feature not provided by competitors like VMware or Hyper-V. Oracle prefers customers to use their technology. It is also easy to implement, clone, and deploy machines with Oracle VM, making it a convenient solution."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The biggest advantage of Oracle VM is that you can separate your clusters to get your licenses agreement in scope."
"It provides enhancements for network and storage configuration, policy-based management for delivering application resource flexibility, and a GUI."
"The solution is very stable. I don't recall any bugs or glitches. It's reliable. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"Improvements could be made to the configuration of the solution."
"There is a problem with high-availability if the load is too high."
"We've had many issues with Hyper-V's stability, including resource crunches and memory leakage."
"The security part of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I have found it difficult to manage more than one virtual machine."
"I'd like to see better predictive diagnostics, so I know what's going on with the machines."
"The solution should be compatible with different systems."
"Hyper-V systems need a lot of admin effort because security updates and monthly updates require rebooting after the update."
"Oracle VM needs to add a backup feature."
"There is no memory over-subscription and CPU over-subscription. That has to be improved in terms of Oracle VM perspective. The other leading virtualizing software solutions have this feature."
"It was a complex setup. It was very difficult for me."
"I've found that using Oracle VM is like stepping back in time. It's not kept up with technology. The only reason anyone uses it is that they're afraid of Oracle's licensing. Oracle has a tremendously bad licensing approach."
"The solution is at its end of life and is about to be discontinued."
"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."
"One is the hypervisor. Right now, it’s all using Xen. What would be really helpful is to have some choice, and the underlying hypervisor technology use KVM which is very popular with certain workloads."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
