Find out what your peers are saying about Proxmox, VMware, Microsoft and others in Server Virtualization Software."It is a great advantage for any company that is using a Microsoft Windows server."
"For me, the setup of Hyper-V was an easy process, which took only one hour from start to finish."
"The installation was straightforward."
"Hyper-V improved the infrastructure drastically, not only from a performance perspective but from a control/administration view as well."
"The solution is easy to configure."
"It's a very manageable product."
"The virtual SAN feature is helpful."
"The most valuable feature of Hyper-V is that it's very intuitive."
"It's easy to adjust the size up and down."
"It's a very flexible solution because you have all the commands that you can do yourself."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the resource management from the OVM Manager."
"The support staff in the tech support team at Oracle has improved. I find them extremely helpful and they give very solid support."
"The solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"Oracle VM is user-friendly and facilitates compliance with Oracle Licensing, a feature not provided by competitors like VMware or Hyper-V. Oracle prefers customers to use their technology. It is also easy to implement, clone, and deploy machines with Oracle VM, making it a convenient solution."
"We've noticed that when working with Citrix with our Oracle clients who also use Oracle Linux, the monitoring and testing is simpler and easier for us to do."
"It provides enhancements for network and storage configuration, policy-based management for delivering application resource flexibility, and a GUI."
"The installation is easy."
"Technical support is good."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution were the support and performance of the product and the flexibility it gives you to work."
"The flexibility as well as performance wise and as well as data volume, we have huge volume stored."
"This is a good and easy solution for running virtual environments."
"This solution can be used on many different platforms including Windows and Linux."
"This product is extremely easy to install, use, has a great GUI and is incredibly stable."
"The scalability of the solution is very good."
"One of the network problems I face is I cannot introduce other security layers on top of Hyper-V as you can in VMware. When it comes to the network the VMware is more flexible than Hyper-V."
"I think the setup for the Virtual Network Manager could be improved."
"If a person has never implemented the solution before, they might find the process difficult."
"It would be nice if they provided a free management console that we could use to manage all of the hosts for no additional fee."
"The initial setup was complex. It was nearly six years ago, but I remember it was complicated."
"The solution is lacking in numerous features and lacks flexibility."
"The technical support is good but it could improve by being faster."
"If I want to create a cluster of around five to 10 physical servers Hyper-V does not get integrated with any kind of virtual sense, such as vSense."
"One is the hypervisor. Right now, it’s all using Xen. What would be really helpful is to have some choice, and the underlying hypervisor technology use KVM which is very popular with certain workloads."
"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."
"This solution is not as stable as other solutions in the market. But, Oracle has made an effort to improve these issues with recent updates."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"The pricing could be cheaper. It is very pricey."
"I would say third-party plugins to other storage vendors. There are a lot of converged infrastructure setups; one that we have, multiple different hardware vendors. So that would be something we could definitely be looking for."
"Oracle VM should be more feature-rich."
"There are currently issues with centralized storage."
"The solution needs to improve its flexibility. It's not as flexible as VMware."
"The installation is difficult and could be improved."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"This should have better support for multiple network cards and some parts of the GUI should be improved."
"Oracle VM VirtualBox is not flexible, It's not like VMware."
"The AI and the UI could be improved. The user interface is a little outdated and the AI is not very attractive."
"Oracle’s support team should improve its response time."
