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."What I like the most is the support of the GPU Graphics and the VM Live migration."
"The core function enables multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical server. This maximizes hardware utilization and efficiency."
"The initial setup is easy."
"This is a good product for virtualization and it is easy to use."
"This is a dependable solution for virtualization with a good community for product support."
"Citrix Hypervisor is quick to deploy and easy to manage."
"The solution is extremely user friendly."
"The most valuable features are being able to host many virtual machines and being able to patch machines."
"Cloning is the best feature in Oracle VM."
"What I like best about this product is that it's free."
"Overall, the biggest performance is around virtualization and automation, you can build private clouds with Oracle VM using Enterprise Manager."
"Oracle VM is user-friendly and facilitates compliance with Oracle Licensing, a feature not provided by competitors like VMware or Hyper-V. Oracle prefers customers to use their technology. It is also easy to implement, clone, and deploy machines with Oracle VM, making it a convenient solution."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The network capabilities are good."
"The ability to live migrate VMs on the fly from one hypervisor to another has been very useful."
"The biggest advantage of Oracle VM is that you can separate your clusters to get your licenses agreement in scope."
"It needs to have a more robust backup solution."
"The product could be faster and licensing options could be improved."
"The licensing costs are too high on the solution. They should work to make the costs more reasonable."
"Assigning the order of virtual server startup is not very easy and this can be improved."
"You need a licensed account to look up technical support."
"The solution would benefit from faster technical support."
"The solution should be more flexible and allow for greater customization."
"Citrix could provide more tools to help the client manage the solution because we need to build our own tools in some cases. Everything is available through PowerShell, but then you need to build your own scripts to do the more advanced work."
"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 only improvement needed for Oracle VM is the look and feel of the interface."
"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."
"The solution needs more features and flexibility in terms of communicating with other platforms. If it had that, it would be the perfect product."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"The solution is at its end of life and is about to be discontinued."
"I think more Command-Line options for the product, for deployments."
"Productivity in Oracle VM could still be improved, and an additional feature to make the product better is compatibility with Kubernetes and other modern technologies."
