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…

Technical Officer at ADN Telecom
Easily accesses open solutions with seamless compatibility for testing and development
The most valuable feature is the seamlessness. When I install a Linux operating system, I can use Windows applications through Oracle VM VirtualBox seamlessly. There are many applications that work only on Windows. For desktop testing purposes, I used Oracle VM VirtualBox, and it works fine. The guest OS compatibility was tremendous because I used Oracle VM VirtualBox on Linux and ran Windows applications on top of that, working seamlessly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Customer service is excellent and technical support is excellent."
"Customer service has been excellent so far and technical support has been very helpful, quickly resolving any issues we encountered."
"In general, it is a good and stable product to use."
"Oracle VirtualBox is a perfect fit for us."
"The product gives us the flexibility to try different machines."
"The cloning feature is a very useful tool."
"The system offers good protection that we as users can trust."
"Oracle VM VirtualBox is easy to install and easy to use."
"Community support is the best source for implementation assistance."
"It is a stable product."
 

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."
"For some Linux distributions, I had a high CPU utilization when running Oracle VM Virtualbox."
"The solution has to do a better job of promoting the product and its licensing capabilities."
"The user interface I find to be lacking. If you compare it with VMware or Hyper-V, you have lots of room for improvement."
"I would recommend the solution for licensing purposes if you are using an Oracle database. Otherwise, I would recommend clients to consider different platforms."
"There are a few bugs that need to be updated."
"In Oracle VM a simple drag and drop of files and folders between the host machine and the virtual machine is not available."
"Oracle VMs don't have a solid web interface of their own. This is an area where Oracle is lagging behind. Now, we use headless servers, install Oracle VMs, and manage them remotely. We could use phpVirtual Box, but it is a third-party solution. A lot of people contribute to it, and it's not authenticated by Oracle. As a result, I don't find it to be a good option. Therefore, I would like to see Oracle offer an extension pack or a licensed version that fixes this problem."
"If the user faces a problem he has to read a large amount of docs to fix them."
