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.
Tanvir Siddique - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

"This is a highly scalable solution for our infrastructure."
"By using Oracle VM VirtualBox VM it has reduced the number of servers needed because they are virtualized, this has cut down our license charges."
"We used different products from different vendors, but we chose VirtualBox because it's easy to use and is very stable."
"Oracle VM VirtualBox is easy to install and easy to use."

"I think this solution needs improvement with the business continuity planning, disaster and recovery management, and using centralized data storage."
"The solution needs to improve the methods used for starting and stopping the machine."

"The solution is a bit less stable than I would like."
