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."This is a good product for virtualization and it is easy to use."
"Citrix Hypervisor integrates easily and I can manage the infrastructure better. If I need to take a machine down to expand the hard drive, I do not have to physically be here. I do not need to order new equipment or new hard drives. I can shut it down, increase the drive space and bring it back up."
"The compatibility of the solution is its most valuable feature. It's compatible on almost every cloud these days."
"The continued uptime of our virtual machines is good."
"What I like the most is the support of the GPU Graphics and the VM Live migration."
"We can easily migrate VMs from one host to another."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is very fast. It also works very well for physically small servers."
"The solution is extremely stable."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution were the support and performance of the product and the flexibility it gives you to work."
"I like that it has a snapshot feature."
"The snapshot feature is very powerful; it protects us from disaster."
"It is easy to use and does not require complex knowledge."
"The product gives us the flexibility to try different machines."
"I like that it is free and runs on Linux/Ubuntu - I wouldn't use any other solution. I am able to perform small developing tests."
"This is a highly scalable solution."
"This is a good and easy solution for running virtual environments."
"The USB support for the virtual server needs improvement."
"Network management needs improvement because it is not very stable."
"The licensing costs are too high on the solution. They should work to make the costs more reasonable."
"The built-in networking features are a little limited."
"You need a licensed account to look up technical support."
"It can be useful to have a web management program because we have to install our client-server. We have to properly manage the host, if we had administration tools through a web interface it would be a benefit."
"The graphics user interface is pretty bad."
"The solution should be more flexible and allow for greater customization."
"I find the solution to be incredibly unstable, constantly falling over and not working properly."
"Oracle VM VirtualBox doesn't work properly with an antivirus tool."
"We're working with them to be able to allow the local USB ports to be ported over to the remote desktop, running VirtualBox."
"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."
"It should have the functionality where if I move the mouse away from one screen, the context changes automatically."
"I think that this solution should be more user-friendly."
"It's not as robust as server platforms, nor does it need to be."
"We're working with them to be able to allow the local USB ports to be ported over to the remote desktop, running VirtualBox."
