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 price is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The compatibility of the solution is its most valuable feature. It's compatible on almost every cloud these days."
"The solution is extremely user friendly."
"Citrix Hypervisor does a great job overall, such as the virtualization of the host. It's very easy to manage the virtual machine, to create, and configure high availability."
"Citrix Hypervisor is simple to use."
"The most valuable features are being able to host many virtual machines and being able to patch machines."
"The solution is easy to deploy. It's very easy to understand problems and read logs."
"The solution's security is its most valuable aspect."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its stability."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution were the support and performance of the product and the flexibility it gives you to work."
"Technical support is good."
"The flexibility and the closed platform, so it allows you to run in multiple platforms, Windows, Linux, Macintosh."
"The cloning is a very useful tool."
"The solution has high performance and is easy to use."
"The solution is very stable."
"This is a highly scalable solution."
"The solution should be more flexible and allow for greater customization."
"The solution would benefit from faster technical support."
"The built-in networking features are a little limited."
"The self-service user portal needs to be more granular and be more customizable."
"Citrix could provide more tools to help the client manage the solution because we need to build our own tools in some cases. Everything is available through PowerShell, but then you need to build your own scripts to do the more advanced work."
"I find that the features in Citrix Hypervisor are not as rich as with VMware. It would be a benefit if they had some of the other features VMware has, such as the ability to expand a drive on the fly. You do not have to take down the machine to do it but in Citrix you do."
"Overall, I can't think of a feature that is lacking. We've been pretty satisfied overall."
"I think the technical support could be better."
"This should have better support for multiple network cards and some parts of the GUI should be improved."
"The AI and the UI could be improved. The user interface is a little outdated and the AI is not very attractive."
"When I select the Ubuntu operating system from within the virtual machine, it sometimes hangs."
"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's not as robust as server platforms, nor does it need to be."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"There are a few bugs that need to be updated."
"One valuable feature would be for it to work right the first time but it doesn't necessarily do that."
