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.

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."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to copy bidirectionally between the desktop and the virtual machine."
"I recommend it, especially for people who are beginners because most things they will want to use will virtually be plug-and-play."
"Oracle VM Virtual Box is an open source virtualisation software which is recommended wherever budget is an issue."
"The product is very easy to use."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The flexibility and the closed platform, so it allows you to run in multiple platforms, Windows, Linux, Macintosh."
"In my opinion, it's the best solution for a small office or one-person virtualization."
"I think VirtualBox has good stability because I use it in an environment with several resolutions, and I am able to run several guest environments on one node."
 

Cons

"Odin Virtuozzo has poor support and needs to improve."
"The communications setup lags. It does not connect properly so the batching and networking is a bit slow."
"This should have better support for multiple network cards and some parts of the GUI should be improved."
"I find the solution to be incredibly unstable, constantly falling over and not working properly."
"An example of an area of improvement that I can see from my use of it would be the VirtualBox network setting."
"I think this solution needs improvement with the business continuity planning, disaster and recovery management, and using centralized data storage."
"The initial configuration was a little tricky. Setup could be simpler."
"It should have the functionality where if I move the mouse away from one screen, the context changes automatically."
"The user interface I find to be lacking. If you compare it with VMware or Hyper-V, you have lots of room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license for Odin Virtuozzo is based on consumption on demand."
"The tool is not as expensive as other products."
"This is an open-source product and it can be used free of charge."
"Oracle should consider reducing the cost of the product."
"There are no licensing fees."
"The product is free to use."
"It is a very cost-effective solution."
"It is an open-source solution."
"Available for free use"
