Oracle VM VirtualBox Customer Service and Support
There is no technical support from Oracle but there is a community that provides good support. I rate the support a ten out of ten.

View full review »We can get the solution from the solution’s website for free if we encounter any errors. Oracle’s support team should improve its response time. Our customers shout at us sometimes when we take a long time to resolve their issues because they are losing time on their businesses. We could not respond to the customers quickly because we were waiting for Oracle to respond to our queries. Once, when we logged an Oracle SR, the team kept on referring us to one technician after another.

Technical support is okay.
View full review »The solution leverage a passionate user community that is very, very informed. There's lots of documentation within the community that is quite helpful.
I've never actually contacted Oracle directly. I rely on what's online to assist me when I need to troubleshoot something.
I did, however, use the official support for VMware, and I took advantage of insights I could find from their community as well. I found VMware lacks clear documentation for a lot of items, especially if you were integrating with virtual storage other than VMware or Dell.

View full review »Oracle VM VirtualBox has a platform where the support team responds to frequently asked questions by its users. Every time I have had issues with Oracle VM VirtualBox, I always get a solution from Oracle's online platform or GitHub. I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.

I needed support just once. It was mostly because I decided to do something that I should not have done. One of the machines that we have is a little older, so I decided to use a method to install a newer version of the operating system, which theoretically is not supported on the machine. There are lots of articles on the web where you can patch this and that to make it work. So, I did it, and unfortunately, it broke VirtualBox. I did not reach directly to customer support, but I posted a question in the community, and we agreed that what I did wasn't a good idea.

I have used Oracle technical support in the past for other products and I have been satisfied. But I never had to use technical support or any other resource to address problems I had using VirtualBox. There is not one situation where it was necessary.

View full review »I don't really have any contact with support, because everything works fine. I haven’t had a chance to actually talk to them. Maybe not right now, but from previous engagements, I have some experience with Oracle support and also the community. I'm part of the OTN. I’ve been a partner of the OTN since before I joined my current company. Before that, for another engagement, they were using Oracle, and I decided I needed to know something. I logged in, I asked some questions, and people come on. That's how you learn. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I have very little to do with technical support. As I have been doing things for nearly 30 years, I solve any issues which may arise on my own.

I very rarely need support in VirtualBox because I utilize the documentation provided by Oracle. In my experience, I have never opened a service request for VirtualBox functionality because I find myself to work around what I need to run my environment. This is also due to the fact that I use VirtualBox in a lab environment and not in a production environment. So, for me, the technical support is not critical.

View full review »We have a few issues so far, there's a few things that we're going to do to improve the speed, like when you play videos and things like that. Overall it's pretty good.
I have only used community support and there are a lot of technical guides and discussions that can guide you to a solution.
