We performed a comparison between KVM and Oracle Linux based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Proxmox, VMware, Microsoft and others in Server Virtualization Software."The performance is great."
"It is an open ecosystem, and we see there is a benefit in open-source solutions."
"Documentation and problem-solving troubleshooting are the most valuable features. Performance (when fine-tuned and with "special" HW) is awesome, equal to or more than other enterprise closed-source solutions."
"The key aspect is that the KVM directly interacts with the Kronos. There's no clear indication of indirect communication with Kronos. It is not linked to Kronos, and interaction is straightforward without any intermediaries."
"The most valuable feature is hypervisor. I can host at the same time different operating systems in Linux Windows."
"The most helpful aspect of KVM is the fact that the interface is so minimal. It includes just what you need to set up the VMs and manage them, and it's very simple to do so."
"It offers a high-availability environment."
"It is easy to use, stable, and flexible. It is a pretty mature product, and it is faster than VirtualBox."
"Oracle is well-known for its strong security measures. I have a great deal of confidence in the security of the Oracle DB, including its ability to monitor changes made to the database."
"When it comes to my favorite features of Oracle Linux, I have been impressed with its ability to facilitate a smooth and efficient workflow system. This system is responsible for gathering data from multiple cameras and transferring this information to the backend systems. The system comprises around 10 to 12 servers, all of which are integrated into a highly reliable and redundant cluster setup. Currently, we are using Red Hat Linux for our production needs, however, we have plans to switch over to Oracle Linux in the near future. The reason for this change is due to the specialized nature of our system which precludes the use of cloud computing capabilities."
"We use Oracle Linux to test our software, and we also recommend Oracle Linux to our customers."
"The solution has zero downtime and is easy to optimize right out of the box."
"Once installed, the product is good, I like it. The core of the software is really good."
"The main business advantage is maintaining compliance with Oracle licensing, avoiding non-compliance issues, and license revisions."
"Very stable."
"It has a good amount of mount points."
"The solution should be more user friendly. We are struggling with the command lines."
"The virtual manager and the graphical QEMU for KVM need some improvement."
"The KVM tech support is really bad. They are not very responsive."
"The networking with wireless devices needs improvement."
"The stability of this solution is less than other products in the same category."
"Business continuity features need to be added."
"Monitoring and resolution could be improved."
"One thing that maybe could be improved is making it easier to scale. It needs to be more clear on how to scale the storage space for virtual machines."
"I would prefer to have the KDE Plasma Workspaces interface instead of GNOME."
"They should improve in the area of entertainment applications for the average user."
"The support process is time-consuming as it involves several steps."
"The GUI could be made more attractive."
"The Oracle Linux graphical interface could be improved by fixing its occasional freezing on personal home laptops."
"It is not a user-friendly solution."
"Kernel updates need improvement."
"The solution can be improved by making it more user-friendly for basic users to reduce the time it takes to learn the commands and to reduce the dependencies that come with the OS so the deployment time can be reduced."
KVM is ranked 4th in Server Virtualization Software with 39 reviews while Oracle Linux is ranked 3rd in Operating Systems (OS) for Business with 109 reviews. KVM is rated 8.0, while Oracle Linux is rated 8.4. The top reviewer of KVM writes "Delivers good performance because of kernel-based virtualization". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Oracle Linux writes "The operational system is the best and is packed with free features like CapsLive". KVM is most compared with Proxmox VE, Oracle VM VirtualBox, Hyper-V, VMware vSphere and Odin Virtuozzo Containers, whereas Oracle Linux is most compared with Ubuntu Linux, CentOS, Rocky Linux, Oracle Solaris and Windows 10.
We monitor all Server Virtualization Software reviews to prevent fraudulent reviews and keep review quality high. We do not post reviews by company employees or direct competitors. We validate each review for authenticity via cross-reference with LinkedIn, and personal follow-up with the reviewer when necessary.
