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."Citrix is easy to use and is stable."
"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."
"Ability to move your virtual machines from one host to another."
"The onboarding process is pretty straightforward."
"The feature I find most valuable, is its performance"
"The price is the solution's most valuable feature."
"This is a dependable solution for virtualization with a good community for product support."
"What I like the most is the support of the GPU Graphics and the VM Live migration."
"The Foundation is the most valuable feature of Oracle VM."
"It is a stable product."
"It is highly esteemed for its ability to efficiently optimize and enhance the operational speed and responsiveness of virtualized environments."
"The virtualization product Oracle puts out just complements the performance of the database."
"What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."
"I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"In terms of server provisioning, it only takes a few clicks of a button and a bit of install automation."
"Its technical support is quite good."
"The solution should be more flexible and allow for greater customization."
"The solution would benefit from faster technical support."
"We'd like them to add more automation to the product."
"Citrix is not investing in the virtual surroundings."
"It can be useful to have a web management program because we have to install our client-server. We have to properly manage the host, if we had administration tools through a web interface it would be a benefit."
"The solution is only in English. It would be ideal if it was in Portuguese."
"The USB support for the virtual server needs improvement."
"You need a licensed account to look up technical support."
"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."
"Oracle VM could provide integration with backup solutions."
"There have been some security issues in the past."
"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 management can be improved more, and become more agile. It would be nice for it to become more rich in terms of UI. In addition, the replication to disaster recovery needs improvement."
"If you do a gap analysis between VMware and Oracle VM, you can't do VM Snapshot. That's one thing you can't do. It's a sort of a snapshot, but it's not really Snapshot technology. It requires that you're running on CFS-2."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"With our current OVM Manager version, migrating a VM from one repository to another repository was really complicated, especially editing and manually matching the configuration."
