We performed a comparison between Hyper-V and Oracle VM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Hyper-V helps to make a replica server between two machines. It is very easy to learn."
"Hyper-V deployment is very user-friendly. It supports partial scripting and offers a UI for a smooth experience. There's also PowerShell scripting available for advanced users."
"I appreciate its stability and user-friendly management interface."
"The flexibility and API are the most valuable features. It helps us be able to integrate with other systems and then push data easily."
"It is actually very low on resources. It doesn't use many resources. It is also very easy to tailor. You can change things like the amount of memory and storage on the fly. It is very stable and reliable. I like its replication feature, which is very good. It is also very easy to move the virtual machines across push servers without any difficulty. Its performance is also very good. Now with this pandemic, a lot of workers are working from home. A lot of workers have been using laptops as their desktop computers, and they would remote into a virtual PC. There is no difficulty, and they can't tell the difference between this and the real one. It is much easier to manage."
"It's a very manageable product."
"We can perform maintenance on equipment during the day because we can live migrate all of the machines from one server to another."
"The initial setup of Hyper-V is far easier than VMware."
"The stability of the product is fine."
"Cloning is the best feature in Oracle VM."
"It's a very flexible solution because you have all the commands that you can do yourself."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"It's a very mature product."
"Overall, the biggest performance is around virtualization and automation, you can build private clouds with Oracle VM using Enterprise Manager."
"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."
"The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"In an upcoming release, they can improve by having better cloud integration. We are all moving towards the clouds and the integration is only through the Azure Stack, there should be tools built in to move the VMs natively to the cloud and infrastructure. Additionally, they could provide some form of multi-cloud integration."
"The only issues we have had recently are with Windows updates that are built into the Windows server with Hyper-V."
"Hyper-V requires improvement with manageability."
"Hyper-V is hosted on OS but if your OS scratches you are in big trouble. In addition, if a host fails, automatically the machine and the virtual machine should boot from another source. Those type of features would benefit Hyper-V."
"It would be nice if they had video acceleration, they got rid of that and VMware has video acceleration."
"Hyper-V needs to improve its support."
"I would love to see other options for connecting VMs to large data storage."
"When one server or one virtual machine fails, or one is turned off, the virtualization stops, and we have to initiate again with human intervention."
"Oracle VM should have centralized storage, without which you can't clone or move one VM to another."
"The performance could be better because I need to purchase a lot of CPUs to perform in the workbench."
"Integrating with the internal system is not very easy."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"I would say third-party plugins to other storage vendors. There are a lot of converged infrastructure setups; one that we have, multiple different hardware vendors. So that would be something we could definitely be looking for."
"It was a complex setup. It was very difficult for me."
"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."
