Solutions Architect at a healthcare company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Initial setup was relatively straightforward for a clustering solution.
SQL patching High availability We were looking for a better-than-Microsoft-SQL clustering solution. The interface can seem a little old school at times. By Old School, I simply mean from a graphics perspective it looks like word 97, not word 2013. I have used it for three years. The team from…

Cybersecurity and Ethical Hacking at NUPAT TECHNOLOGIES
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

"Customer service has been excellent so far and technical support has been very helpful, quickly resolving any issues we encountered."
"Customer service is excellent and technical support is excellent."
"It is the best virtualization option for Oracle databases for Linux as Oracle recognizes hard partitions for their database licensing."
"The most valuable features of Oracle VM are live migration and snapshots."
"It seemed to be a great and risky adventure to migrate from IBM Power to Oracle SPARC, but we did the migration in 15 minutes in a complex environment with Oracle databases, SAP application servers, and in-house Java applications."
"Virtual machines are much cheaper than having physical machines."
"Oracle has always been one of the best database software on the market, and that's from at a corporate level."
"We have two datacenters, holding less than 15 physical servers and still running over 300 virtual ones."
"There's a lot of space to customize the solution if you need to."
"The network capabilities are good."
 

Cons

"Upgrading from DxDev to DxEnterprise was a bit more bumpy, but even that was pretty easy to do."
"The interface can seem a little old school at times."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"The response time and quality of support could be improved."
"The solution lacks a lot of extra key features."
"Our product had several issues with post-migration."
"The only improvement needed for Oracle VM is the look and feel of the interface."
"What features would I like to see in Oracle VM in future releases? I can think of a ton of them."
"The product needs to improve the backup and snapshot functionalities."
"The only improvement that I want to see is more flexibility in configuring and managing Oracle VM Server with a CLI if there is no Oracle VM Manager."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"The cost of this solution is cheap. It is one of the reasons we chose Oracle VM. It is truly "pocket- friendly.""
"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."
"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."
"Oracle VM follows an annual subscription model."
"Oracle's VM VirtualBox is a powerful, free, and open-source virtualization tool."
"Its price is relatively low."

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Oracle VM?
Pricing depends mainly on hardware costs. The main expense is the hardware, as the operating system and logical domains are free. Oracle does not charge for these, however, they do charge for suppo...
