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."It is good for small installations."
"Live migration, SMB3."
"It is stable."
"The most valuable feature of Hyper-V is the replica service."
"The flexibility and API are the most valuable features. It helps us be able to integrate with other systems and then push data easily."
"There are some products that you can mount over Hyper-V that provide the features that, in today's Hyper-V, are not present."
"Hyper-V can expand storage. For instance, if I have a VM running on NetApp or another platform, I can expand the storage without interrupting operations. It is useful when I need to quickly allocate more storage without causing downtime or performing maintenance tasks."
"It is a great advantage for any company that is using a Microsoft Windows server."
"It is simple and straightforward, and it will only require you one system integrator to do the job."
"It is very useful for the project management of our company."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"Oracle is probably the best database technology out there. I've never found anything as complete in terms of feature and functionality and sophistication."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"It's easy to adjust the size up and down."
"The solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"It would be nice if they provided a free management console that we could use to manage all of the hosts for no additional fee."
"Sometimes there's a bit of slowness in the VMs."
"I think the setup for the Virtual Network Manager could be improved."
"I encounter issues such as mouse cursor problems, dependencies, lagging, freezing, and unresponsiveness using Hyper-V."
"When it comes to Hyper-V the worst thing is it's based on the Windows operating system. For the installation of Hyper-V, you're supposed to install the right operating system. For me, it's strange."
"The solution is lacking in numerous features and lacks flexibility."
"Hyper-V needs to improve its support."
"The solution should improve its native integration with other public cloud solutions."
"The performance could be better because I need to purchase a lot of CPUs to perform in the workbench."
"Integration with cloud products would be beneficial."
"There have been some security issues in the past."
"One is the hypervisor. Right now, it’s all using Xen. What would be really helpful is to have some choice, and the underlying hypervisor technology use KVM which is very popular with certain workloads."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"The solution needs more features and flexibility in terms of communicating with other platforms. If it had that, it would be the perfect product."
"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."
"I would like to be able to ship all of our logs. This feature could exist and I am just not aware of it."
