Ramon Ruiz - PeerSpot reviewer
Director IT at Servnet
Significant backup for containers, but the customer service is terrible
Anyone considering this solution should not compare it to the old versions. They should be a partner with Virtuozzo and run all the certifications. Also, they need a good lab to understand the technology and how they can apply that technology conveniently. This is very commercial software. It does not have support, so you will need to be hands-on. I would rate Odin Virtuozzo a six out of 10 overall.
Chimdi Profitearne - PeerSpot reviewer
Cybersecurity and Ethical Hacking at NUPAT TECHNOLOGIES
Has supported ethical training effectively but configuration needs to be more user-friendly
When evaluating Oracle VM, I have concerns about the configuration being too complex and not user-friendly. It doesn't perform optimally on iOS, which is an Apple laptop, but works very well on Windows. To improve Oracle VM, the configuration needs to be more user-friendly and less rigid. Additionally, compatibility with Apple laptops needs improvement as it currently doesn't work well on that platform.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"When you run templates on the containers on Virtuozzo they have a lot of back-ups."
"It simplifies server management."
"It provides reliable virtualization that supports our operational needs without significant performance issues."
"The stamina machine is excellent because it works effectively for me, and whenever I want to use it to do my work, it helps me perform my tasks without disappointing me."
"I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The solution is very stable. I don't recall any bugs or glitches. It's reliable. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"This is a great solution and, in my opinion, it's a rare jewel that more Windows shops should be looking at."
"It's a very mature product."
 

Cons

"Odin Virtuozzo has poor support and needs to improve."
"There are several VMware features missing."
"While the software is still missing a lot of capabilities which its major competitor (VMware) has and a performance boost is highly recommended, it could still be a choice if you have to virtualize Oracle software."
"One is the hypervisor. Right now, it’s all using Xen. What would be really helpful is to have some choice, and the underlying hypervisor technology use KVM which is very popular with certain workloads."
"Something that could be improved are the snapshots that go in the ZFS Storage. If you want to enjoy Oracle VM, you will definitely want it to go together with ZFS Storage to maximize on the snapshot facility."
"I think it needs a more simplified way of provisioning external storage networks."
"The configuration is very rigid and takes a lot of time. It is not user-friendly to configure, but it functions adequately overall."
"The solution is an outdated Xen-based application."
"There are currently issues with centralized storage."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license for Odin Virtuozzo is based on consumption on demand."
"If you buy an Oracle server, this solution is free. You have to only pay for support."
"The pricing for the platform is aligned with other enterprise virtualization solutions."
"Oracle VM is not expensive. I rate its pricing a three out of ten."
"There is no need to make any payments to use the solution. You can just download the product and use it for free."
"We use the product's free version that is not licensed."
"The price of the license is expensive."
"The price compares well with other solutions."
"I recommend this for any customer wanting to reduce their licensing costs for packaged applications."

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Oracle VM?
