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."
"In my opinion, it's the best solution for a small office or one-person virtualization."
"Oracle VM VirtualBox allows me to extend my existing computer to run multiple operating systems."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution were the support and performance of the product and the flexibility it gives you to work."
"Oracle VM Virtual box is a very good tool for me."
"The solution is very stable."
"The product is very easy to use."
"Automatic mirroring/backup using snapshots on the runtime can minimize the number of fail-recovery procedures and down time overall."
"The snapshot feature is very powerful; it protects us from disaster."
 

Cons

"Odin Virtuozzo has poor support and needs to improve."
"Odin Virtuozzo has poor support and needs to improve."
"When I select the Ubuntu operating system from within the virtual machine, it sometimes hangs."
"The solution needs to improve the methods used for starting and stopping the machine."
"I find the solution to be incredibly unstable, constantly falling over and not working properly."
"The solution needs to improve the methods used for starting and stopping the machine."
"Oracle VMs don't have a solid web interface of their own. This is an area where Oracle is lagging behind. Now, we use headless servers, install Oracle VMs, and manage them remotely. We could use phpVirtual Box, but it is a third-party solution. A lot of people contribute to it, and it's not authenticated by Oracle. As a result, I don't find it to be a good option. Therefore, I would like to see Oracle offer an extension pack or a licensed version that fixes this problem."
"Basically, the GUI and command-line interface need improvement."
"The solution should have more enterprise features, like migration, high availability storage, disaster recovery, and the ability to deploy to enterprise-scale usage. They should not just offer desktop usage."
"For some Linux distributions, I had a high CPU utilization when running Oracle VM Virtualbox."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license for Odin Virtuozzo is based on consumption on demand."
"Price wise, Oracle VM VirtualBox is a six on a scale from one to ten."
"It is a very cost-effective solution."
"Available for free use"
"It is an open-source solution."
"The product is free to use."
"There are no licensing fees."
"No licensing is required as it is open-source."
"The solution is free."
