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
Cybersecurity and Ethical Hacking at NUPAT TECHNOLOGIES
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."
"Oracle VM is so stable, that I find the databases are much better in Oracle Linux and Oracle VM."
"The stability of the product is fine."
"The scalability is good, and for us, we do not have a need for a lot of servers, so it suits our needs."
"We have been using the solution for four to five years, which demonstrates its reliability."
"It has saved us millions of dollars by generating many VMs out of a simple server added to a server pool which is highly available."
"You save vast amounts of money; it's also very robust and it allows you to better use your hardware."
"It is a cheap solution for a company's VM needs; it is simple to use, and has a great support system."
"We can have one VM to share with the team that has all development tools set up so that when a new developer joins the team, they can be ready to work just by copying the VM."
 

Cons

"Odin Virtuozzo has poor support and needs to improve."
"It needs automatic migration that's similar to VMware vMotion."
"The product could improve network virtualization and hardware utilization functionalities."
"The solution is at its end of life and is about to be discontinued."
"There are currently issues with centralized storage."
"I would say third-party plugins to other storage vendors. There are a lot of converged infrastructure setups; one that we have, multiple different hardware vendors. So that would be something we could definitely be looking for."
"The response time and quality of support could be improved."
"The management can be improved more, and become more agile."
"While it is a good solution for virtualization, Oracle VM is less flexible than other market solutions like VMware."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license for Odin Virtuozzo is based on consumption on demand."
"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."
"With having a global contract, we get some discounts."
"If you choose Oracle hardware, then this virtualization software is included along with support."
"I have heard from my colleague that it comes with a high price tag."
"There is no need to make any payments to use the solution. You can just download the product and use it for free."
"The solution as a standalone product can not be purchased."
"I recommend this for any customer wanting to reduce their licensing costs for packaged applications."
"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...
