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."The initial setup is easy."
"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."
"This is a good product for virtualization and it is easy to use."
"I've found the following features to be the most valuable: user personalization layer, app layering, provisioning, and notification services for integration between different domains."
"Installing Hypervisor is really simple. It's the simplest setup I've ever done before. We used a team to deploy it, and it doesn't take much time, like two or three hours tops."
"The solution integrates well with other solutions, which makes it really strong as a primary solution to deploy."
"This solution allows the end users to clone, start, stop, or remotely control their VMs."
"The solution's security is its most valuable aspect."
"This solution can be used on many different platforms including Windows and Linux."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the ability to manage multiple operating systems through one application."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"This is a highly scalable solution."
"I think VirtualBox has good stability because I use it in an environment with several resolutions."
"The snapshot feature is very powerful; it protects us from disaster."
"The flexibility as well as performance wise and as well as data volume, we have huge volume stored."
"I like that it has a snapshot feature."
"Assigning the order of virtual server startup is not very easy and this can be improved."
"You need a licensed account to look up technical support."
"The graphics user interface is pretty bad."
"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 solution should be more flexible and allow for greater customization."
"I think the technical support could be better."
"The product could be faster and licensing options could be improved."
"The USB support for the virtual server needs improvement."
"Basically, the GUI and command-line interface need improvement."
"I think that this solution should be more user-friendly."
"The solution needs to improve the methods used for starting and stopping the machine."
"The solution is a bit less stable than I would like."
"The installation is difficult and could be improved."
"The solution should have more enterprise features, like migration, high availability storage, disaster recovery, and the ability to deploy to enterprise-scale usage. They should not just offer desktop usage."
"One valuable feature would be for it to work right the first time but it doesn't necessarily do that."
"The technical support needs to improve."
