We performed a comparison between Citrix Hypervisor 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 feature I find most valuable, is its performance"
"The support for this solution is phenomenal."
"I've found the following features to be the most valuable: user personalization layer, app layering, provisioning, and notification services for integration between different domains."
"This is a good product for virtualization and it is easy to use."
"The continued uptime of our virtual machines is good."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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."
"The solution's security is its most valuable aspect."
"The stability of the product is fine."
"The Foundation is the most valuable feature of Oracle VM."
"The solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"It provides enhancements for network and storage configuration, policy-based management for delivering application resource flexibility, and a GUI."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the resource management from the OVM Manager."
"The support staff in the tech support team at Oracle has improved. I find them extremely helpful and they give very solid support."
"The stability is rock solid."
"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 solution should be more flexible and allow for greater customization."
"The main problem with Citrix Hypervisor is getting readily available backup solutions for it. It would be wonderful if Hypervisor were better integrated with third-party backup solutions."
"You need a licensed account to look up technical support."
"Assigning the order of virtual server startup is not very easy and this can be improved."
"There are several areas that need improvement including the stability of the networking stack and networking management."
"The manageability of the solution needs improvement. It's an extremely bad product to handle."
"I think the technical support could be better."
"We'd like them to add more automation to the product."
"Oracle VM should have centralized storage, without which you can't clone or move one VM to another."
"I think more Command-Line options for the product, for deployments."
"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."
"The documentation for implementation could be improved because we were not able to find an easy way to implement our company's features due to a lack of understanding."
"You need to have a model for documentation available for the users. Right now, if you have to search for some troubleshooting, you need to have Oracle login. Many personnel might not have that login. The reach, the availability of information to the end-user, is not there."
"The only improvement needed for Oracle VM is the look and feel of the interface."
"There have been some security issues in the past."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
