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.

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."
"You save vast amounts of money; it's also very robust and it allows you to better use your hardware."
"Oracle VM simplifies the application deployment with a large number of predefined VM templates."
"Its technical support is quite good."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"VMware is user-friendly, with clear integration and detailed migration."
"It is a stable product."
"I personally like working on Oracle VM rather than other virtualization, because of the simplified setup, and probably I am attached to Oracle products maybe, as being an Ex-Employee of Oracle Corp."
"The biggest benefit is being able to license Oracle products (especially the DB) based on the number of CPUs actually used rather than all the CPUs on the box as you have to do with VMware."
 

Cons

"Odin Virtuozzo has poor support and needs to improve."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"The configuration can be more flexible. It is a necessity."
"The tool's price and stability could be better."
"I see some weaknesses in Oracle VM such as a lack of features and integrations in comparison with VMware."
"The management can be improved more, and become more agile. It would be nice for it to become more rich in terms of UI. In addition, the replication to disaster recovery needs improvement."
"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."
"Currently, there are some cases when the GUI and the back-end go out of sync."
"There are several VMware features missing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license for Odin Virtuozzo is based on consumption on demand."
"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."
"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 is not expensive. I rate its pricing a three out of ten."
"The price compares well with other solutions."
"Oracle VM follows an annual subscription model."
"Its price is relatively low."
"The pricing for the platform is aligned with other enterprise virtualization solutions."
"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."

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...
