We performed a comparison between Citrix Hypervisor and Oracle VM VirtualBox 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."Citrix Hypervisor is quick to deploy and easy to manage."
"Scripting can automate procedures."
"The ability to move a virtual machine while it is running is a big advantage."
"The solution's security is its most valuable aspect."
"The solution integrates well with other solutions, which makes it really strong as a primary solution to deploy."
"What I like the most is the support of the GPU Graphics and the VM Live migration."
"The onboarding process is pretty straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is very fast. It also works very well for physically small servers."
"The scalability of the solution is very good."
"Technical support is good."
"Oracle VM Virtualbox is easy to use and does not require much training."
"The product gives us the flexibility to try different machines."
"This is a good and easy solution for running virtual environments."
"I like that it has a snapshot feature."
"Oracle VM VirtualBox is easy to use."
"This product is extremely easy to install, use, has a great GUI and is incredibly stable."
"It needs to have a more robust backup solution."
"Overall, I can't think of a feature that is lacking. We've been pretty satisfied overall."
"Citrix could provide more tools to help the client manage the solution because we need to build our own tools in some cases. Everything is available through PowerShell, but then you need to build your own scripts to do the more advanced work."
"Network management needs improvement because it is not very stable."
"The solution is only in English. It would be ideal if it was in Portuguese."
"You need a licensed account to look up technical support."
"The graphics user interface is pretty bad."
"Live migration is something that can be improved."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The solution is not flexible."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"The installation is difficult and could be improved."
"The solution lacks some open source remote administration tools. The reload of individual virtual machine definitions through the vboxweb service (via its API) without restarting it and the access to shared storage (to use teleport functions) need to be improved."
"The technical support needs to improve."
"Oracle VM VirtualBox is not flexible, It's not like VMware."
"Oracle VMs don't have a solid web interface of their own. This is an area where Oracle is lagging behind. Now, we use headless servers, install Oracle VMs, and manage them remotely. We could use phpVirtual Box, but it is a third-party solution. A lot of people contribute to it, and it's not authenticated by Oracle. As a result, I don't find it to be a good option. Therefore, I would like to see Oracle offer an extension pack or a licensed version that fixes this problem."
