We performed a comparison between KVM, Oracle VM, and Oracle VM VirtualBox based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Proxmox, VMware, Microsoft and others in Server Virtualization Software."It offers a high-availability environment."
"Good screen and keyboard sharing feature."
"The product's scalability is good...It's a very stable product."
"The most valuable feature of KVM is its stability."
"What I like most about KVM is that it's very easy to use. Everything is built-in, even when writing command lines."
"The performance is great."
"It is an open ecosystem, and we see there is a benefit in open-source solutions."
"The KVM service is well managed with a central policy interface."
"It provides enhancements for network and storage configuration, policy-based management for delivering application resource flexibility, and a GUI."
"Its technical support is quite good."
"It is simple and straightforward, and it will only require you one system integrator to do the job."
"The solution is very stable. I don't recall any bugs or glitches. It's reliable. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It's a very mature product."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"The network capabilities are good."
"This product is extremely easy to install, use, has a great GUI and is incredibly stable."
"This product is very user-friendly and easy to use."
"This solution can be used on many different platforms including Windows and Linux."
"It is a stable product."
"I like that Oracle VM is safe and stable. It is also very easy to administer. For example, opening a VM or adding a host adapter is extremely easy."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The solution is very convenient and easy to use."
"The configuration and installation is pretty straightforward."
"I have previously used VMware and KVM is easier to use. However, they both have their strengths depending on their use cases. They are mostly equal. One of VMware's advantages is it has better support."
"The solution should be more user friendly. We are struggling with the command lines."
"Technical support could be better. In the next release, I would like to see an improved user interface and dashboard. This type of improvement will make it easy or help our engineers understand the solution from a requirement point of view."
"The speed is around thirty percent slower than another competitor. This would be something to work on."
"We are not getting good support from KVM, and it is not that user-friendly."
"One thing that maybe could be improved is making it easier to scale. It needs to be more clear on how to scale the storage space for virtual machines."
"Support for VF is needed, where you can, for example, export from VMware to KVM."
"Business continuity features need to be added."
"The configuration can be more flexible. It is a necessity."
"The usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"There are currently issues with centralized storage."
"This solution is not as stable as other solutions in the market. But, Oracle has made an effort to improve these issues with recent updates."
"It was a complex setup. It was very difficult for me."
"The tool's price and stability could be better."
"Integration capabilities are a little complicated. It could be made easier. Whether integrating with Azure or other platforms or integration with OIC itself, the integration part is a little complicated."
"The solution is an outdated Xen-based application."
"The solution lacks some open source remote administration tools. The reload of individual virtual machine definitions through the vboxweb service (via its API) without restarting it and the access to shared storage (to use teleport functions) need to be improved."
"It could improve slightly with enhanced reporting capabilities that show the current status of the network."
"It's not as robust as server platforms, nor does it need to be."
"It would be good if we could use Hyper-V Windows subsystems with Linux and VirtualBox on the same instance. Currently, to be able to use VirtualBox, we have to restart the machine into an instance of Windows where Hyper-V is disabled, which is understandably very inconvenient."
"The AI and the UI could be improved. The user interface is a little outdated and the AI is not very attractive."
"Oracle VM VirtualBox is not flexible, It's not like VMware."
"The product lacks scalability since it is for desktops and not for servers."
"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."
