I rate Oracle VM's stability an eight out of ten because we sometimes have issues with upgrades. But if the platform is up and running, it should work fine.

The solution is very stable. Once implemented properly, it will function reliably. If there are any issues with the implementation, you may experience some instability.

Initially, we had some teething troubles that we found were due to use of an unsupported storage solution. We switched to an Oracle ZFS appliance, and since then, we have had no issues.

The product is not very stable when you upgrade the system. The system runs well. You will not have any problems with day-by-day work. For example, I have 12 machines running currently.

They have been running for many years. The new OEM has some issues. The new VM has been running for around one year now. If I upgrade the system, I will need a similar system with significant capacity or a high-quality environment before upgrading the production environment to prevent any system downtime.

I rate the solution’s stability a seven out of ten.

It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine or ten out of ten. I am not sure if the problem is in the product itself or the virtual machine.

Oracle VM is stable.

There are issues with the solution's stability since it crashes.

The stability is rock solid. We have a fairly large technical company running the solution on their production database which is used by the production machines to collect information. If the database is down, the production stops. There has not been a stop in the production for over three years.

When we were previously using a dual-head storage with automatic storage pathing, we faced issues with compatibility since the shared storage kept getting re-mastered to different heads by the various servers which did not choose to access by the default assigned heads. 

We fixed this by replacing our storage with a supported/certified one. We have seen much better stability when using one of Oracle's purpose-built virtualization appliances, like PCA or ODA, to implement virtualization.

I would rate its stability capabilities eight out of ten.

The stability on offer is very good. There are no bugs or glitches. it doesn't crash or freeze. It's very mature.

It is the best virtualization platform hypervisor that is out there. Oracle itself has used Oracle VM in all its engineer systems, as well as in the past generation of Oracle Cloud. It's very stable and very robust.

The stability has been great. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. It has been reliable. I would rate the scalability at an eight out of ten. We have external partners and an internal technical team that constantly works to stabilize everything. 

The stability was a major issue initially and it was traced to how the LUNs were presented to the guests. Once that was resolved, the system was pretty solid.

I haven't seen any big issue with the stability. There have been no issues with instability that I've seen.

I would rate the stability of Oracle VM a nine out of ten. We haven't encountered any issues while working in production. 

However, if there are any issues, it's important that the environment supports optimal utilization. Additionally, it's worth noting that we are using an older version of the Oracle server. We are currently in the process of installing it in a new data center.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

I have not seen any issues with stability.

I rate the product's stability a nine out of ten. 

The product is stable. It has some configuration issues. We experienced some instability. However, since we left the high score, it has been relatively stable. I would rate it seven out of ten. 

There is good stability with this product and we've been able to upgrade when necessary without any problems. We have the technical skill and product knowledge so it's easy for us.  This solution is more stable than VMware and Hyper-V. 

Oracle VM is so stable, that I find the databases are much better in Oracle Linux and Oracle VM.

As compared to other solutions, Oracle VM is a stable solution.

I would rate the solution's stability a seven out of ten. 

It's quite stable.

Stability is good, I would rate it an 8 out of 10 in this area.

The solution is very stable. I don't recall any bugs or glitches. It's reliable. It doesn't crash or freeze.

Stability was great. There were no issues with instability.

It's been pretty stable, especially with the new releases. The 3.4 major release has made a lot of significant performance gains and stability from the 3.29 days.

The first release of Oracle VM had issues, but now it's stable.

It's extremely stable.

The stability is quite good. You set and forget. It's not a fussy solution. There aren't bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's great.

It's quite stable. It's very reliable. We run most of our servers as virtual machines. We pretty much run the entire company across it.

Once the system was up and running, the VMs ran great! We have Windows 2003, 2008 and 2008R2 servers. At the time, in July 2013, 2012 was not supported.

We have had no stability issues.

It is very stable. That's why I've used it for all my clients.

It’s actually very stable. In the later releases, you can even patch the hypervisor without a reboot. That adds to the up-time of the environment. When you run Oracle Linux inside as guest VMs, you can also use the Ksplice technology and patch the VMs without any outage.

Not in newer versions, but 3.0.1 had some issues, of course that was years ago

We've never found an instability problem with the hypervisor as it is simply rock solid.

On the other hand, the OVM Manager has had some problems and inconsistencies. The best option is to have the OMV Manager virtualized and to recreate it if there are issues as all the relevant info is stored in the hypervisor itself.

This product upgrades or updates comes in two flavors, one is a community update and one is subscription based updates. For the subscription based updates you have to pay Oracle, its a very small amount of money for the subscription. In contrast, the community support is free. You can choose whichever way you want.

I have been using the product since it came out in version 3.0. We're now at version 3.4.1. In version 3.0, many portions of it were unstable, especially when upgrading. They have made great strides and now at version 3.4.1, all the bugs seem to have been worked out.

The solution certainly is stable. We don't seem to suffer from bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.

The issues I found were related to cluster disk shared on our SAN. It was about detailed storage configurations.

We had errors, but they were fixed. The hardware and software work perfectly with the new SPARC technology.

We have had no stability issues.

It is stable. But in some cases, the connectivity to the service gateways is a little complicated to the SaaS cloud. We have that difficulty. Oracle is working on that.

The stability is quite good. It's reliable. There aren't glitches, nor are there bugs. It doesn't crash or freeze. It works well for us.

It's come a long way. So, by the time you get to v3.3, it's a pretty stable platform. It's much easier to use than the previous versions and I'd say it's at a good place right now.

It's stable. There are still ways you can break the system, but it's very minimal, compared to a physical system.

It is stable. For the most part, it's the guys I work with who use it. I'm a project manager, but they're pretty happy with the technology.

I think it's fine, there are no issue there. We haven't had any big issues with it being unstable.

It's not stable if you don't use certified hardware. I work for a university and we don't have certified hardware, so we have to move the storage system to NVS instead of all of the cluster for a system because it's more stable.

Operationally from a stability perspective, it has been pretty good. Some of the monitoring that we do will show when it starts getting stress, but then creating new ones has been effortless and it hasn't really been a problem.

For the past three years, most of the issues we encountered were related to hardware issues. Based on our experience, I can say it is stable.

This is a stable product. 

We only had a single crash on one host in more than two years as the kernel panicked. An SR was opened to Oracle, but it led to nowhere.

We've experienced no issues with performance.

For me, the stability is fine. But, I only primarily use it for the database role. 

Thankfully, everything was stable in spite of my limited knowledge.

The current version, 3.4.6, is usable. However, I had many problems with the Java console in previous versions, such as 3.2. It is easy to access now but prior to this, you had to install different versions of Java. The stability has improved over time.

We have had no issues with the stability.

We had no issues with the stability.

There was nasty bug on DomU UEK3 kernel year ago, which wiped virtual machine disks if a certain combination was used. Now, it's fine.

It is a stable product.

We've experienced no issues with performance.

Xen technology running on Oracle VM is rock solid. Again, versions 2 and version 3 are completely different, and it takes some time to get used to. But for users, it's still a rock solid product and works perfectly.
