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.

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 initial setup was straightforward."
"The scalability of the solution is very good."
"In my opinion, it's the best solution for a small office or one-person virtualization."

"The product is very easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to copy bidirectionally between the desktop and the virtual machine."

"In general, it is a good and stable product to use."
 

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."
"The memory and hardware usage could be a little bit lighter. Right now, it's quite heavy on the usage. The CPU usage should be lower."
"If you oversubscribe the virtual memory, it just kills your notebook."
"The user interface I find to be lacking. If you compare it with VMware or Hyper-V, you have lots of room for improvement."
"VirtualBox is not as feature-rich as VMware, but the GUI from VirtualBox more than makes up for the features that it is lacking."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"They could improve the graphics functionality of the product."
"Oracle’s support team should improve its response time."
"The stability is okay, but it could be better."
