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.

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."
"VMware is user-friendly, with clear integration and detailed migration."
"It provides enhancements for network and storage configuration, policy-based management for delivering application resource flexibility, and a GUI."
"All and all the product offers number of benefits to the users who often use multiple platforms."
"It's quite stable."
"The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"Stability has proven to be satisfactory."
"We have been using the solution for four to five years, which demonstrates its reliability."
"Overall, the biggest performance is around virtualization and automation, you can build private clouds with Oracle VM using Enterprise Manager."
 

Cons

"Odin Virtuozzo has poor support and needs to improve."
"The configuration can be more flexible. It is a necessity."
"Deployment should be simplified."
"I see some weaknesses in Oracle VM such as a lack of features and integrations in comparison with VMware."
"It’s a bit clunkier to deploy and manage than other systems, e.g. VMware."
"Customer Service: It was initially subpar. Technical Support: It was initially subpar."
"Error handling takes the safest way, but the safest way may cause business discontinuity."
"There was nasty bug on DomU UEK3 kernel year ago, which wiped virtual machine disks if a certain combination was used."
"The usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license for Odin Virtuozzo is based on consumption on demand."
"With having a global contract, we get some discounts."
"Its price is relatively low."
"Oracle's VM VirtualBox is a powerful, free, and open-source virtualization tool."
"Oracle VM is an open-source solution."
"If you choose Oracle hardware, then this virtualization software is included along with support."
"The cost of this solution is cheap. It is one of the reasons we chose Oracle VM. It is truly "pocket- friendly.""
"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."
"The solution comes for free with Oracle's x86 servers, called X9."
