Ramon Ruiz - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Chimdi Profitearne - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Pros

"Xen technology running on Oracle VM is rock solid."
"It is very useful for the project management of our company."
"The stamina machine is excellent because it works effectively for me, and whenever I want to use it to do my work, it helps me perform my tasks without disappointing me."
"It is a stable product that has been reliable for several years."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It simplifies server management."
"It’s helped to decrease hardware and software license costs to use Oracle VM as most of our customers are running a lot of small applications and databases."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"Odin Virtuozzo has poor support and needs to improve."
"Odin Virtuozzo has poor support and needs to improve."
"One is the hypervisor. Right now, it’s all using Xen. What would be really helpful is to have some choice, and the underlying hypervisor technology use KVM which is very popular with certain workloads."
"I encountered some issues with virtual networks and live migration feature in v3.2."
"Not every upgrade goes smoothly, and after an upgrade, it sometimes stops working. There are cases where I had to downgrade the system to get it working again."
"When deploying machines, we had a couple of issues, where it took up two to three times before it ran with no issues."
"This solution is not as stable as other solutions in the market. But, Oracle has made an effort to improve these issues with recent updates."
"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."
"Development of the product seems slow, but then again, I do not want a rushed product."
"The solution needs more features and flexibility in terms of communicating with other platforms. If it had that, it would be the perfect product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license for Odin Virtuozzo is based on consumption on demand."
"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."
"Its price is relatively low."
"If you choose Oracle hardware, then this virtualization software is included along with support."
"There is no need to make any payments to use the solution. You can just download the product and use it for free."
"Oracle VM pricing is expensive."
"We use the product's free version that is not licensed."
"The pricing for the platform is aligned with other enterprise virtualization solutions."
"We were able to deploy our solution at near zero cost compared to other vendors since the licenses come with our Oracle hardware."

What do you like most about Oracle VM?
If you want to access the VM from anywhere over the Internet, you put it in a public subnet. So, VMs are linked to that. The subnets are linked to it. So, it's perfectly secured if it's a private n...
