Ramon Ruiz

Director IT at Servnet

Significant backup for containers, but the customer service is terrible

Anyone considering this solution should not compare it to the old versions. They should be a partner with Virtuozzo and run all the certifications. Also, they need a good lab to understand the technology and how they can apply that technology conveniently. This is very commercial software. It does not have support, so you will need to be hands-on. I would rate Odin Virtuozzo a six out of 10 overall.

Has supported ethical training effectively but configuration needs to be more user-friendly

When evaluating Oracle VM, I have concerns about the configuration being too complex and not user-friendly. It doesn't perform optimally on iOS, which is an Apple laptop, but works very well on Windows. To improve Oracle VM, the configuration needs to be more user-friendly and less rigid. Additionally, compatibility with Apple laptops needs improvement as it currently doesn't work well on that platform.

Cons

"Odin Virtuozzo has poor support and needs to improve."

"Deployment should be simplified."

"The product's user interface could be more intuitive for less experienced users."

"There are currently issues with centralized storage."

"The usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."

"There are issues with the solution's stability since it crashes."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license for Odin Virtuozzo is based on consumption on demand."

"The licensing for Oracle VM solution is very nice because you license the box."

"The user will be charged accordingly as well—pay as you go. Basically, you get charged only for storage. If I stop a VM, then I'm not charged for the CPU usage. So, that's fine."

"Oracle VM is not expensive. I rate its pricing a three out of ten."

"Its price is relatively low."

"With having a global contract, we get some discounts."

"I recommend this for any customer wanting to reduce their licensing costs for packaged applications."

"I have heard from my colleague that it comes with a high price tag."

"If you buy an Oracle server, this solution is free. You have to only pay for support."
