We performed a comparison between Hyper-V 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."With each update, the security of this solution just gets better and better. It is very stable."
"The solution's technical support is the best."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It was easy to install."
"The most valuable features are ease of use, and it gets the job done in a straightforward manner."
"The solution is very powerful, easy to use, user-friendly, and integrates well with Windows. If you are looking for a hundred percent Microsoft environment it would be a good idea to go with Hyper-V. They work wonderfully together."
"Live migration, SMB3."
"It is stable."
"It is easy to use, and it is stable. It is a good solution."
"The solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"It is a scalable solution."
"We've noticed that when working with Citrix with our Oracle clients who also use Oracle Linux, the monitoring and testing is simpler and easier for us to do."
"In terms of server provisioning, it only takes a few clicks of a button and a bit of install automation."
"What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."
"There's a lot of space to customize the solution if you need to."
"Virtualization platform that's easy to set up, and has good scalability and stability."
"There's room for improvement in Hyper-V. One area I've personally encountered issues with is live migration. Sometimes during live migrations, the process gets stuck in a certain state. This can happen with replication as well. It's not necessarily a major problem, but at times, the error messages aren't very informative. They don't clearly explain why the migration failed."
"The technical support is good but it could improve by being faster."
"Hyper-V's management platform falls short in terms of scalability, especially when handling multiple Hyper-V servers. VMware has a central console to pull in all your VM servers, so you can easily manage them all through one console. You can manage servers in Hyper-V's admin centers, but it's not as scalable. It's doable with a couple of Hyper-V servers, but it becomes harder to manage when you get over two or three Hyper-V servers."
"I think the setup for the Virtual Network Manager could be improved."
"I'd like to see better predictive diagnostics, so I know what's going on with the machines."
"Hyper-V could improve the management tools."
"In general, based on my little experience with Hyper-V, I see a lot of obstacles. I think it falls behind the other competitors."
"There is a hard limitation of 20 gigs per file with Dropbox, so you've got to overcome that by chunking the zip files into something smaller and manageable."
"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."
"Oracle VM should be more feature-rich."
"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."
"Integrating with the internal system is not very easy."
"Oracle VM should have centralized storage, without which you can't clone or move one VM to another."
"This solution is not as stable as other solutions in the market. But, Oracle has made an effort to improve these issues with recent updates."
"Oracle VM should be promoted more as an open-source and stable software."
"There are currently issues with centralized storage."
