We performed a comparison between Hyper-V and Oracle VM 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."Hyper-V helps to make a replica server between two machines. It is very easy to learn."
"The support with Microsoft is great."
"The replication, creation, and import wizard, as well as the integration with reporting tools, are the most useful features."
"The solution allows us to take advantage of our physical environment."
"II prefer customers to use Hyper-V because Hyper-V is mostly integrated with Microsoft solutions."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It was easy to install."
"It allowed us to add on servers and fix things in an expedient manner."
"The most valuable feature is being able to do checkpoints then roll back to the checkpoint because that's what we need to test the software. We're testing the installation and then we roll it back and retest it."
"Overall, the biggest performance is around virtualization and automation, you can build private clouds with Oracle VM using Enterprise Manager."
"It is highly esteemed for its ability to efficiently optimize and enhance the operational speed and responsiveness of virtualized environments."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"Because of the virtualization for Linux, I use just Linux basically in all VMs, a few with Windows."
"The biggest advantage of Oracle VM is that you can separate your clusters to get your licenses agreement in scope."
"Good visualization hypervisor."
"It's quite stable."
"VMware is user-friendly, with clear integration and detailed migration."
"There is a hard limitation of 20 gigs per file with Dropbox, so you've got to overcome that by chunking the zip files into something smaller and manageable."
"I think the console could use some improvement for the backups."
"There are bugs, and this should be resolved by Microsoft."
"It needs additional administration and monitoring capabilities."
"We have our scientific network, and it's run off the university sever, and we need two servers to optimize our scientific work, such as the mathematics work. Then you have to work with Python and Java, and Microsoft isn't the best option for this kind of work"
"The corrupted volume is a problem."
"The the only challenge for us was moving existing physical machines to virtual machines."
"Status and availability became an issue and need."
"Incorporating analytics related to performance, particularly within the dashboard interface, would be beneficial."
"Something that could be improved are the snapshots that go in the ZFS Storage. If you want to enjoy Oracle VM, you will definitely want it to go together with ZFS Storage to maximize on the snapshot facility."
"Oracle VM should have centralized storage, without which you can't clone or move one VM to another."
"Integrating with the internal system is not very easy."
"Oracle VM could provide integration with backup solutions."
"It doesn't monitor everything, which is a little bit more difficult. It doesn't seem to have as many features or metrics to monitor as some others do, so you have to make some homemade scripts to do it."
"You need to have a model for documentation available for the users. Right now, if you have to search for some troubleshooting, you need to have Oracle login. Many personnel might not have that login. The reach, the availability of information to the end-user, is not there."
"The documentation for implementation could be improved because we were not able to find an easy way to implement our company's features due to a lack of understanding."
