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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"When you run templates on the containers on Virtuozzo they have a lot of back-ups."

"It's not a very expensive product."

"The ability to live migrate VMs on the fly from one hypervisor to another has been very useful."

"It is simple and straightforward, and it will only require you one system integrator to do the job."

"It provides reliable virtualization that supports our operational needs without significant performance issues."

"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the resource management from the OVM Manager."

"What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."

"It's easy to adjust the size up and down."

"Its ease of management and simplicity are most valuable. It is free, and you can provision an unlimited number of VMs at no cost for clients. They also provide perfect support."

More Oracle VM pros

Cons

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

"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."

"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."

"I would say third-party plugins to other storage vendors. There are a lot of converged infrastructure setups; one that we have, multiple different hardware vendors. So that would be something we could definitely be looking for."

"Oracle VM should be promoted more as an open-source and stable software."

"The solution is at its end of life and is about to be discontinued."

"I see some weaknesses in Oracle VM such as a lack of features and integrations in comparison with VMware."

"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."

"The documentation for implementation could be improved because we were not able to find an easy way to implement our company's features due to a lack of understanding."

More Oracle VM cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The cost of this solution is cheap. It is one of the reasons we chose Oracle VM. It is truly "pocket- friendly.""

"The price compares well with other solutions."

"The solution is free but we have to pay for technical support."

"All other vendors are selling their licenses to use the VM, but Oracle isn't doing that, which is its biggest advantage. It is free. All you have to do is get the hardware. You can create an unlimited number of VMs for free. With VMware, you have to purchase licenses for the number of VMs that you want to create. You only pay for their premium support, and even that is optional. I am now learning this product, and we can even do without the support."

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

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

"We were able to deploy our solution at near zero cost compared to other vendors since the licenses come with our Oracle hardware."

"If you choose Oracle hardware, then this virtualization software is included along with support."
