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."The solution has an easy setup."
"Using cluster with Hyper-V had a major impact on our protection environment. So all applications were virtualized using Hyper-V."
"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."
"The implementation process is simple."
"I like that it's easy to use."
"The initial setup is simple. There's not much to do. We input one command or just one or two clicks on the UI. Initial setup in the Windows environment for any software is not that difficult."
"My understanding is it's easy to set up."
"We can perform maintenance on equipment during the day because we can live migrate all of the machines from one server to another."
"Oracle is probably the best database technology out there. I've never found anything as complete in terms of feature and functionality and sophistication."
"The Foundation is the most valuable feature of Oracle VM."
"There's a lot of space to customize the solution if you need to."
"The virtualization product Oracle puts out just complements the performance of the database."
"Its ease of management and simplicity are most valuable. It is free, and you can provision an unlimited number of VMs at no cost for clients. They also provide perfect support."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"Virtualization platform that's easy to set up, and has good scalability and stability."
"It is a stable product."
"Hyper-V isn't a lightweight solution like VMware. Management could be more straightforward. Even as far as disk management tools are concerned, it would be better if that could be made simpler. The same applies to performance."
"Sometimes there's a bit of slowness in the VMs."
"Some of the interfaces need improvements, like the virtual switch or virtual VLAN interfaces."
"SCVMM needs to be more user-friendly. Without SCVMM, automating is not easy to use and we look forward to the upcoming versions of SCVMM becoming simpler and more admin friendly."
"It needs to improve the handling of the amount of storage."
"Sometimes it is a mess, and it is getting hanged. It should be something that could be easily fixed. It made us have to deal with fixing the bugs."
"The management of Hyper-V could improve, there is a lot to improve in that area."
"In an upcoming release, they can improve by having better cloud integration. We are all moving towards the clouds and the integration is only through the Azure Stack, there should be tools built in to move the VMs natively to the cloud and infrastructure. Additionally, they could provide some form of multi-cloud integration."
"The performance could be better because I need to purchase a lot of CPUs to perform in the workbench."
"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."
"Incorporating analytics related to performance, particularly within the dashboard interface, would be beneficial."
"The solution is an outdated Xen-based application."
"The tool's price and stability could be better."
"There is no memory over-subscription and CPU over-subscription. That has to be improved in terms of Oracle VM perspective. The other leading virtualizing software solutions have this feature."
"We do have a little trepidation with systemd, as it does have a learning curve."
"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."
