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."Citrix is easy to use and is stable."
"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."
"I find it very easy to manage and at a cost that small customers would never refuse (free)."
"It is quite flexible and rugged. It is also easy to understand and user-friendly. It is not as complicated as some of the other solutions. It has its technicalities, but it is easy to understand. You can easily pick up in a short period of time and understand how to manage the infrastructure."
"This is a good product for virtualization and it is easy to use."
"We find there are good central maintenance and central management panels."
"The onboarding process is pretty straightforward."
"The feature I find most valuable, is its performance"
"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."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"It's very simple to use."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that there is no cost because it is open source."
"Oracle VM VirtualBox is easy to use."
"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."
"The configuration and installation is pretty straightforward."
"Oracle VM Virtualbox is easy to use and does not require much training."
"The solution needs better backup facilities that are available for virtual machines to create servers on."
"Network management needs improvement because it is not very stable."
"There are several areas that need improvement including the stability of the networking stack and networking management."
"Assigning the order of virtual server startup is not very easy and this can be improved."
"I would like the possibility of updating the hypervisor by applying security patches."
"We'd like them to add more automation to the product."
"The self-service user portal needs to be more granular and be more customizable."
"You need a licensed account to look up technical support."
"Oracle needs to improve its hot virtual machine migration. It didn't work as intended. It should allow us to migrate between virtual machines, without stopping the database."
"The solution is a bit less stable than I would like."
"The solution needs to improve the methods used for starting and stopping the machine."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"They could improve the graphics functionality of the product."
"There are a few bugs that need to be updated."
"It would be good if we could use Hyper-V Windows subsystems with Linux and VirtualBox on the same instance. Currently, to be able to use VirtualBox, we have to restart the machine into an instance of Windows where Hyper-V is disabled, which is understandably very inconvenient."
"We're working with them to be able to allow the local USB ports to be ported over to the remote desktop, running VirtualBox."
