We performed a comparison between Citrix Hypervisor, Hyper-V, and Oracle VM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Proxmox, VMware, Microsoft and others in Server Virtualization Software.
"The feature I find most valuable, is its performance"
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is very fast. It also works very well for physically small servers."
"The core function enables multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical server. This maximizes hardware utilization and efficiency."
"The solution is easy to deploy. It's very easy to understand problems and read logs."
"The solution's security is its most valuable aspect."
"What I like the most is the support of the GPU Graphics and the VM Live migration."
"The most valuable features are being able to host many virtual machines and being able to patch machines."
"We find there are good central maintenance and central management panels."
"My understanding is it's easy to set up."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It was easy to install."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"There are some products that you can mount over Hyper-V that provide the features that, in today's Hyper-V, are not present."
"It's a stable product."
"The solution is highly stable."
"The virtualization aspect of the solution functions similar to VMware is one of its most valuable features…It is a stable product."
"I like that it's easy to use."
"The support staff in the tech support team at Oracle has improved. I find them extremely helpful and they give very solid support."
"It's quite stable."
"Because of the virtualization for Linux, I use just Linux basically in all VMs, a few with Windows."
"Oracle is probably the best database technology out there. I've never found anything as complete in terms of feature and functionality and sophistication."
"Ability to patch with no downtime."
"The ability to live migrate VMs on the fly from one hypervisor to another has been very useful."
"It's not a very expensive product."
"Overall, the biggest performance is around virtualization and automation, you can build private clouds with Oracle VM using Enterprise Manager."
"It can be useful to have a web management program because we have to install our client-server. We have to properly manage the host, if we had administration tools through a web interface it would be a benefit."
"We'd like them to add more automation to the product."
"There are several areas that need improvement including the stability of the networking stack and networking management."
"The self-service user portal needs to be more granular and be more customizable."
"Network management needs improvement because it is not very stable."
"The solution should be more flexible and allow for greater customization."
"Citrix could provide more tools to help the client manage the solution because we need to build our own tools in some cases. Everything is available through PowerShell, but then you need to build your own scripts to do the more advanced work."
"The graphics user interface is pretty bad."
"In terms of performance, when compared to VMware, it is much slower."
"The product can be a bit difficult to use."
"Microsoft increased the price for this solution when adding the Storage Spaces Direct feature."
"Hyper-V isn't a lightweight solution like VMware. Management could be more straightforward. Even as far as disk management tools are concerned, it would be better if that could be made simpler. The same applies to performance."
"Hyper-V systems need a lot of admin effort because security updates and monthly updates require rebooting after the update."
"Microsoft tech support is horrible."
"There is a problem with high-availability if the load is too high."
"If I want to create a cluster of around five to 10 physical servers Hyper-V does not get integrated with any kind of virtual sense, such as vSense."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"There are currently issues with centralized storage."
"The tool's price and stability could be better."
"I would like to be able to ship all of our logs. This feature could exist and I am just not aware of it."
"The usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"The solution is an outdated Xen-based application."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"Incorporating analytics related to performance, particularly within the dashboard interface, would be beneficial."
