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."Citrix is easy to use and is stable."
"We can easily migrate VMs from one host to another."
"The solution is easy to deploy. It's very easy to understand problems and read logs."
"The feature I find most valuable, is its performance"
"The support for this solution is phenomenal."
"Citrix Hypervisor does a great job overall, such as the virtualization of the host. It's very easy to manage the virtual machine, to create, and configure high availability."
"The price is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The ability to move a virtual machine while it is running is a big advantage."
"The ability to live migrate VMs on the fly from one hypervisor to another has been very useful."
"The virtualization product Oracle puts out just complements the performance of the database."
"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."
"If you want to access the VM from anywhere over the Internet, you put it in a public subnet. So, VMs are linked to that. The subnets are linked to it. So, it's perfectly secured if it's a private network. The security is set."
"The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"The most valuable features of Oracle VM are live migration and snapshots."
"It's not a very expensive product."
"Because of the virtualization for Linux, I use just Linux basically in all VMs, a few with Windows."
"Citrix is not investing in the virtual surroundings."
"The graphics user interface is pretty bad."
"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."
"It can be useful to have a web management program because we have to install our client-server. We have to properly manage the host, if we had administration tools through a web interface it would be a benefit."
"I would like the possibility of updating the hypervisor by applying security patches."
"The built-in networking features are a little limited."
"Network management needs improvement because it is not very stable."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"The pricing could be cheaper. It is very pricey."
"The configuration can be more flexible. It is a necessity."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"Deployment should be simplified."
"The tool's price and stability could be better."
"There is no memory over-subscription and CPU over-subscription. That has to be improved in terms of Oracle VM perspective. The other leading virtualizing software solutions have this feature."
"The only improvement needed for Oracle VM is the look and feel of the interface."
