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."What I like the most is the support of the GPU Graphics and the VM Live migration."
"The most valuable features are being able to host many virtual machines and being able to patch machines."
"The price is the solution's most valuable feature."
"This solution allows the end users to clone, start, stop, or remotely control their VMs."
"What I find most valuable in Citrix Hypervisor is its licensing policy, because you'll get it for free if you buy a Citrix XenDesktop license. You don't need to spend additional money on the Citrix Hypervisor because you can manage both the Citrix XenDesktop and the Citrix Hypervisor with just one license, so you can save on cost. I also like that the solution is good support-wise. Hardware support is also faster compared to other solutions."
"The solution is extremely user friendly."
"We find there are good central maintenance and central management panels."
"The continued uptime of our virtual machines is good."
"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."
"It is easy to use and does not require complex knowledge."
"This is a highly scalable solution."

"You need a licensed account to look up technical support."
"The graphics user interface is pretty bad."
"The solution should be more flexible and allow for greater customization."
"The built-in networking features are a little limited."

"We're working with them to be able to allow the local USB ports to be ported over to the remote desktop, running VirtualBox."
"It's not as robust as server platforms, nor does it need to be."
"The solution needs to improve the methods used for starting and stopping the machine."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
