Find out in this report how the two Server Virtualization Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"This is a dependable solution for virtualization with a good community for product support."
"Installing Hypervisor is really simple. It's the simplest setup I've ever done before. We used a team to deploy it, and it doesn't take much time, like two or three hours tops."
"The compatibility of the solution is its most valuable feature. It's compatible on almost every cloud these days."
"We can easily migrate VMs from one host to another."
"The solution is extremely user friendly."
"This solution allows the end users to clone, start, stop, or remotely control their VMs."
"Virtualization platform that's easy to set up, and has good scalability and stability."
"In terms of server provisioning, it only takes a few clicks of a button and a bit of install automation."
"It's a very mature product."
"It is simple and straightforward, and it will only require you one system integrator to do the job."
"Its ease of management and simplicity are most valuable. It is free, and you can provision an unlimited number of VMs at no cost for clients. They also provide perfect support."
"We've noticed that when working with Citrix with our Oracle clients who also use Oracle Linux, the monitoring and testing is simpler and easier for us to do."
"It's easy to adjust the size up and down."
"VMware is user-friendly, with clear integration and detailed migration."
"It needs improvement with the security features."
"The licensing costs are too high on the solution. They should work to make the costs more reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"The interface has to be updated."
"The USB support for the virtual server needs improvement."
"The solution is too expensive and people are kind of moving away from Citrix. It's starting to become a problem. It is a primary reason that while we are rebuilding we're going to seek out open-source solutions."
"The main problem with Citrix Hypervisor is getting readily available backup solutions for it. It would be wonderful if Hypervisor were better integrated with third-party backup solutions."
"Oracle VM should have centralized storage, without which you can't clone or move one VM to another."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"The pricing could be cheaper. It is very pricey."
"We do have a little trepidation with systemd, as it does have a learning curve."
"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 solution needs more features and flexibility in terms of communicating with other platforms. If it had that, it would be the perfect product."
"The management can be improved more, and become more agile. It would be nice for it to become more rich in terms of UI. In addition, the replication to disaster recovery needs improvement."
