Solutions Architect at a healthcare company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Initial setup was relatively straightforward for a clustering solution.
SQL patching High availability We were looking for a better-than-Microsoft-SQL clustering solution. The interface can seem a little old school at times. By Old School, I simply mean from a graphics perspective it looks like word 97, not word 2013. I have used it for three years. The team from…

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

"Customer service is excellent and technical support is excellent."
"Customer service has been excellent so far and technical support has been very helpful, quickly resolving any issues we encountered."
"The fact that it is free is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"OracleVM has been helpful to me, as I now test my scripts on different operating systems in a single machine before deploying them."
"Compatible with almost any operating system"
"The pause feature is valuable, as I can pause, which is something that not all hypervisors allow, and the snapshot feature is also valuable."
"By using Oracle VM VirtualBox VM it has reduced the number of servers needed because they are virtualized, this has cut down our license charges."
"The installation is easy."
"We used different products from different vendors, but we chose VirtualBox because it's easy to use and is very stable."
"We had other costumers that had used other solutions, such as VMware and Microsoft hypervisor, but I've pushed them all over to VirtualBox because of its flexibility and potential."
 

Cons

"Upgrading from DxDev to DxEnterprise was a bit more bumpy, but even that was pretty easy to do."
"The interface can seem a little old school at times."
"Oracle needs to improve its hot virtual machine migration. It didn't work as intended. It should allow us to migrate between virtual machines, without stopping the database."
"I've had networking issues when I travel with my laptop. Switching VMs from NAT to bridge is a nuisance."
"I’d like to see Oracle make it easy to drag and drop files between a VM and the host PC."
"It's not as robust as server platforms, nor does it need to be."
"The solution is not flexible."
"The AI and the UI could be improved. The user interface is a little outdated and the AI is not very attractive."
"The technical support needs to improve."
"It could improve slightly with enhanced reporting capabilities that show the current status of the network."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Pricing does not apply for us, we do not have to pay for the service."
"Price wise, Oracle VM VirtualBox is a six on a scale from one to ten."
"Oracle should consider reducing the cost of the product."
"It is an open-source solution."
"Everything is free within limitations. Once you go over a certain level of usage you have to license the product."
"It is a very cost-effective solution."
"The product is free to use."
"The tool is not as expensive as other products."
