"What I like the most is the support of the GPU Graphics and the VM Live migration."
"The price is the solution's most valuable feature."
"I find it very easy to manage and at a cost that small customers would never refuse (free)."
"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 compatibility of the solution is its most valuable feature. It's compatible on almost every cloud these days."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The support for this solution is phenomenal."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution were the support and performance of the product and the flexibility it gives you to work."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the ability to manage multiple operating systems through one application."
"This solution creates a snapshot of virtual machines so you can create test environments."
"VirtualBox provides an isolated, consistent environment"
"It's a pretty good product in terms of monitoring."
"The flexibility and the closed platform, so it allows you to run in multiple platforms, Windows, Linux, Macintosh."
"The configuration and installation is pretty straightforward."
"The versatility, simplicity, and stability of the product are it's most valuable features."
"Integration with other vendors and other applications could be improved."
"The licensing costs are too high on the solution. They should work to make the costs more reasonable."
"The solution should be more flexible and allow for greater customization."
"I am not very sure about how flexible Citrix Hypervisor is with different types of infrastructures. I only know it is flexible with Nutanix, but I am not sure if it is also flexible with others. They can make its integration with other platforms or OEMs easy. They should also make it easy for users to manage their infrastructure. Citrix should make compatibility information related to a hypervisor easily available in a datasheet. Citrix isn't really recognized in this part of the world, and they need to expand their solution and make it more available. There are a lot of customers and companies that are looking for a solution like Citrix, and it should be available in this part of the world. They need to educate people more. Technically, it is good and flexible and has good ability, but it is not as much known as VMware or Microsoft. Their support should also be improved. Currently, if you don't have an updated version, they will not give you the attention."
"There are several areas that need improvement including the stability of the networking stack and networking management."
"The self-service user portal needs to be more granular and be more customizable."
"The solution is only in English. It would be ideal if it was in Portuguese."
"The interface has to be updated."
"The solution has to do a better job of promoting the product and its licensing capabilities."
"The technical support needs to improve."
"The communications setup lags. It does not connect properly so the batching and networking is a bit slow."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"The solution needs to improve its flexibility. It's not as flexible as VMware."
"The installation is difficult and could be improved."
"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."
"The solution is a bit less stable than I would like."
