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 has been excellent so far and technical support has been very helpful, quickly resolving any issues we encountered."
"Customer service is excellent and technical support is excellent."
"I think VirtualBox has good stability because I use it in an environment with several resolutions, and I am able to run several guest environments on one node."
"Oracle VirtualBox is a perfect fit for us."
"I like that it has a snapshot feature."
"The snapshot feature is very powerful; it protects us from disaster."
"I recommend it, especially for people who are beginners because most things they will want to use will virtually be plug-and-play."
"The ROI on it is obviously to our benefit as we are now able to deploy multiple PeopleSoft images to the Oracle VM and have everything (WebAppDBOSES) up and running normally in less than a day."
"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."
"Overall, the solution works very well and we have been happy with it."
 

Cons

"The interface can seem a little old school at times."
"Upgrading from DxDev to DxEnterprise was a bit more bumpy, but even that was pretty easy to do."
"The interface should be easier to comprehend"
"In Oracle VM a simple drag and drop of files and folders between the host machine and the virtual machine is not available."
"Sometimes the VirtualBox stops and the process cannot be killed. The computer then needs to be restarted."
"The solution should work to simplify the system. However, it should be flexible enough to allow for special cases."
"There are a few bugs that need to be updated."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"This solution is not enterprise-ready."
"It's excellent for the speed of setup, to install/deploy/test things, but for serious work I prefer to work on Proxmox."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is pretty good for the price, which is free."
"Pricing does not apply for us, we do not have to pay for the service."
"This is an open-source product and it can be used free of charge."
"No licensing is required as it is open-source."
"Price wise, Oracle VM VirtualBox is a six on a scale from one to ten."
"Oracle should consider reducing the cost of the product."
"The solution is free."
"Everything is free within limitations. Once you go over a certain level of usage you have to license the product."
