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."We can easily migrate VMs from one host to another."
"The feature I find most valuable, is its performance"
"The ability to move a virtual machine while it is running is a big advantage."
"The continued uptime of our virtual machines is good."
"This solution allows the end users to clone, start, stop, or remotely control their VMs."
"The solution is easy to deploy. It's very easy to understand problems and read logs."
"Citrix Hypervisor is quick to deploy and easy to manage."
"The onboarding process is pretty straightforward."
"This is a highly scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that there is no cost because it is open source."
"The solution has high performance and is easy to use."
"The scalability of the solution is very good."
"The flexibility and the closed platform, so it allows you to run in multiple platforms, Windows, Linux, Macintosh."
"I like that Oracle VM is safe and stable. It is also very easy to administer. For example, opening a VM or adding a host adapter is extremely easy."
"Oracle VM Virtualbox is easy to use and does not require much training."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the ability to manage multiple operating systems through one application."
"The manageability of the solution needs improvement. It's an extremely bad product to handle."
"Overall, I can't think of a feature that is lacking. We've been pretty satisfied overall."
"Citrix Hypervisor is expensive if you get it as a stand-alone product, so this is one area for improvement. Its price could be cheaper. We also found other areas for improvement in Citrix Hypervisor, for example, we can't use SCIM provisioning, and there are limitations to the size of the HDD. Another area for improvement is the pass-through storage, in particular the removable storage, because that also has limitations where you can't connect to the drive if it is more than one TB."
"The solution should be more flexible and allow for greater customization."
"I think the technical support could be better."
"Live migration is something that can be improved."
"The interface has to be updated."
"The licensing costs are too high on the solution. They should work to make the costs more reasonable."
"I find the solution to be incredibly unstable, constantly falling over and not working properly."
"When I select the Ubuntu operating system from within the virtual machine, it sometimes hangs."
"The product lacks scalability since it is for desktops and not for servers."
"There are a few bugs that need to be updated."
"The memory and hardware usage could be a little bit lighter. Right now, it's quite heavy on the usage. The CPU usage should be lower."
"The AI and the UI could be improved. The user interface is a little outdated and the AI is not very attractive."
"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 needs to improve its flexibility. It's not as flexible as VMware."
