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."Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"We've noticed that when working with Citrix with our Oracle clients who also use Oracle Linux, the monitoring and testing is simpler and easier for us to do."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"Virtualization platform that's easy to set up, and has good scalability and stability."
"The network capabilities are good."
"It's a very mature product."
"It is a scalable solution."
"In terms of server provisioning, it only takes a few clicks of a button and a bit of install automation."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"Customers are moving to open source and Red Hat is the leader in this particular space. I think customers feel more confident running Red Hat Virtualization than VMware."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It is very stable."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"Oracle VM should have centralized storage, without which you can't clone or move one VM to another."
"The solution is at its end of life and is about to be discontinued."
"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."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"You need to have a model for documentation available for the users. Right now, if you have to search for some troubleshooting, you need to have Oracle login. Many personnel might not have that login. The reach, the availability of information to the end-user, is not there."
"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."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"The solution is an outdated Xen-based application."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"In comparison to VMware, this solution isn't as stable. We're testing it right now, and we're not trusting the stability of the product."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
