Featured Reviews

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

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."
"It's a very flexible solution because you have all the commands that you can do yourself."
"The biggest advantage of Oracle VM is that you can separate your clusters to get your licenses agreement in scope."
"The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"Stability has proven to be satisfactory."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"I like Oracle VM's vMotion and cloning features."
"I recommend Oracle VM instead of VMware or some other Windows native solution to virtualize Linux servers."
"It provides enhancements for network and storage configuration, policy-based management for delivering application resource flexibility, and a GUI."
 

Cons

"Odin Virtuozzo has poor support and needs to improve."
"The product could improve network virtualization and hardware utilization functionalities."
"VMware costs about 10 times as much but also is about 10 times more usable."
"We do have a little trepidation with systemd, as it does have a learning curve."
"Oracle's VM VirtualBox is a powerful, free, and open-source virtualization tool. However, you'll have to read a lot of documents and perform experiments in test environments to make it work for you."
"Oracle VM should be promoted more as an open-source and stable software."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"There are also some features around it, extracting virtual machines and managing it, that could show some improvement."
"The solution is not very scalable. We are using Oracle CC, and it's not very flexible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license for Odin Virtuozzo is based on consumption on demand."
"I recommend this for any customer wanting to reduce their licensing costs for packaged applications."
"Oracle VM pricing is expensive."
"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."
"Oracle VM is free if you are running it on Oracle infrastructure hardware, otherwise, it is subscription-based."
"If you buy an Oracle server, this solution is free. You have to only pay for support."
"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."
"We use the product's free version that is not licensed."
"Oracle VM is not expensive. I rate its pricing a three out of ten."

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...
