We performed a comparison between Citrix Hypervisor, Hyper-V, and Oracle VM VirtualBox based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Proxmox, VMware, Microsoft and others in Server Virtualization Software."Citrix Hypervisor does a great job overall, such as the virtualization of the host. It's very easy to manage the virtual machine, to create, and configure high availability."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is very fast. It also works very well for physically small servers."
"The most valuable features are being able to host many virtual machines and being able to patch machines."
"Citrix Hypervisor is simple to use."
"We can easily migrate VMs from one host to another."
"I've found the following features to be the most valuable: user personalization layer, app layering, provisioning, and notification services for integration between different domains."
"The solution is extremely user friendly."
"The support for this solution is phenomenal."
"Hyper-V helps to make a replica server between two machines. It is very easy to learn."
"The Failover Clustering feature allows us to be able to make our most critical workload highly available."
"The solution is highly scalable."
"The solution allows us to take advantage of our physical environment."
"It helps us build servers."
"It is stable."
"This solution is much easier to manage than a bare metal machine. It is so easy to manage something through the virtual machine."
"The simplicity and intuitiveness of the platform. It was a very simple adaptation, if you have any experience in virtualization."
"The flexibility and the closed platform, so it allows you to run in multiple platforms, Windows, Linux, Macintosh."
"The installation is easy."
"The configuration and installation is pretty straightforward."
"The solution is very convenient and easy to use."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"I like that it is free and runs on Linux/Ubuntu - I wouldn't use any other solution. I am able to perform small developing tests."
"This is a highly scalable solution."
"This product is extremely easy to install, use, has a great GUI and is incredibly stable."
"The solution should be more flexible and allow for greater customization."
"I am not very sure about how flexible Citrix Hypervisor is with different types of infrastructures. I only know it is flexible with Nutanix, but I am not sure if it is also flexible with others. They can make its integration with other platforms or OEMs easy. They should also make it easy for users to manage their infrastructure. Citrix should make compatibility information related to a hypervisor easily available in a datasheet. Citrix isn't really recognized in this part of the world, and they need to expand their solution and make it more available. There are a lot of customers and companies that are looking for a solution like Citrix, and it should be available in this part of the world. They need to educate people more. Technically, it is good and flexible and has good ability, but it is not as much known as VMware or Microsoft. Their support should also be improved. Currently, if you don't have an updated version, they will not give you the attention."
"The solution needs better backup facilities that are available for virtual machines to create servers on."
"The graphics user interface is pretty bad."
"I think the technical support could be better."
"The interface has to be updated."
"Citrix is not investing in the virtual surroundings."
"The USB support for the virtual server needs improvement."
"It should be deployed with OS so there is no need to install OS separately, only select the OS and get it ready."
"We've had many issues with Hyper-V's stability, including resource crunches and memory leakage."
"I would like Microsoft to put more effort into the Admin Center interface and make it much easier. It is customizable, but you have to be a PowerShell expert to customize these things. That is a limitation."
"The interface could be more user friendly. In addition, the documentation and security could use improvement."
"Disaster recovery capabilities are the primary choice for improvement."
"The the only challenge for us was moving existing physical machines to virtual machines."
"Hyper-V doesn't have a lot of features and is limited compared to other virtualization software."
"There is a problem with high-availability if the load is too high."
"I think that this solution should be more user-friendly."
"The AI and the UI could be improved. The user interface is a little outdated and the AI is not very attractive."
"I find the solution to be incredibly unstable, constantly falling over and not working properly."
"The solution is a bit less stable than I would like."
"The product lacks scalability since it is for desktops and not for servers."
"Oracle VM VirtualBox is not flexible, It's not like VMware."
"Oracle VM VirtualBox doesn't work properly with an antivirus tool."
"It's not as robust as server platforms, nor does it need to be."
