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.

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."

"The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."

"Cloning is the best feature in Oracle VM."

"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."

"It's a very mature product."

"It is a scalable solution."

"The Foundation is the most valuable feature of Oracle VM."

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

"Because of the virtualization for Linux, I use just Linux basically in all VMs, a few with Windows."

More Oracle VM pros

Cons

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

"It doesn't monitor everything, which is a little bit more difficult. It doesn't seem to have as many features or metrics to monitor as some others do, so you have to make some homemade scripts to do it."

"It was a complex setup. It was very difficult for me."

"You need to have a model for documentation available for the users. Right now, if you have to search for some troubleshooting, you need to have Oracle login. Many personnel might not have that login. The reach, the availability of information to the end-user, is not there."

"The product could improve network virtualization and hardware utilization functionalities."

"The configuration can be more flexible. It is a necessity."

"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."

"The main drawback is having a single hardware with multiple logical domains. If I have limited systems and there is maintenance on the hardware, the Oracle systems are impacted."

"The pricing could be cheaper. It is very pricey."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The cost of scalability. You pay for what you use. It's free to download, free to install, and the support side has been very helpful."

"There is no need to make any payments to use the solution. You can just download the product and use it for free."

"Licensing costs are less for Oracle Linux and for clients moving to the Oracle Cloud, as it is included in the price of the subscription."

"The solution as a standalone product can not be purchased."

"Oracle VM is free if you are running it on Oracle infrastructure hardware, otherwise, it is subscription-based."

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

"The pricing for the platform is aligned with other enterprise virtualization solutions."

"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."
