We performed a comparison between Citrix Hypervisor 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."The solution is easy to deploy. It's very easy to understand problems and read logs."
"Scripting can automate procedures."
"The support for this solution is phenomenal."
"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."
"The feature I find most valuable, is its performance"
"This is a good product for virtualization and it is easy to use."
"What I like the most is the support of the GPU Graphics and the VM Live migration."
"I find it very easy to manage and at a cost that small customers would never refuse (free)."
"There's a lot of space to customize the solution if you need to."
"The Foundation is the most valuable feature of Oracle VM."
"The stability of the product is fine."
"Its technical support is quite good."
"I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"VMware is user-friendly, with clear integration and detailed migration."
"The solution is very stable. I don't recall any bugs or glitches. It's reliable. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"Cloning is the best feature in Oracle VM."
"The built-in networking features are a little limited."
"Integration with other vendors and other applications could be improved."
"You need a licensed account to look up technical support."
"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."
"It needs to have a more robust backup solution."
"It needs improvement with the security features."
"The graphics user interface is pretty bad."
"The USB support for the virtual server needs improvement."
"The user interface of the version that we have requires improvement. They have already improved the user interface in the latest version, but we are yet to migrate to that. The new UI is much better. I would like it to be simple. It is serving all of our needs, and I don't think it is necessary to keep adding. We are able to provision a VM in ten minutes, and provisioning it in five minutes will not have any added benefit."
"The solution needs more features and flexibility in terms of communicating with other platforms. If it had that, it would be the perfect product."
"Productivity in Oracle VM could still be improved, and an additional feature to make the product better is compatibility with Kubernetes and other modern technologies."
"I would like to be able to ship all of our logs. This feature could exist and I am just not aware of it."
"I've found that using Oracle VM is like stepping back in time. It's not kept up with technology. The only reason anyone uses it is that they're afraid of Oracle's licensing. Oracle has a tremendously bad licensing approach."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"We do have a little trepidation with systemd, as it does have a learning curve."
"Oracle VM should have centralized storage, without which you can't clone or move one VM to another."
