Featured Reviews

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.
Tanvir Siddique - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Officer at ADN Telecom
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

"When you run templates on the containers on Virtuozzo they have a lot of back-ups."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"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 most valuable feature of the solution is that there is no cost because it is open source."
"This product is extremely easy to install, use, has a great GUI and is incredibly stable."
"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."
"Oracle VM Virtual box is a very good tool for me."
"Technical support is good."
"The solution is very stable."
 

Cons

"Odin Virtuozzo has poor support and needs to improve."
"This should have better support for multiple network cards and some parts of the GUI should be improved."
"The technical support needs to improve."
"In Oracle VM a simple drag and drop of files and folders between the host machine and the virtual machine is not available."
"VirtualBox is not as feature-rich as VMware, but the GUI from VirtualBox more than makes up for the features that it is lacking."
"We have a few issues so far, there's a few things that we're going to do to improve the speed, like when you play videos and things like that."
"An example of an area of improvement that I can see from my use of it would be the VirtualBox network setting."
"It's excellent for the speed of setup, to install/deploy/test things, but for serious work I prefer to work on Proxmox."
"Managing virtual machine stacks on an individual and stacked basis needs work."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license for Odin Virtuozzo is based on consumption on demand."
"No licensing is required as it is open-source."
"Price wise, Oracle VM VirtualBox is a six on a scale from one to ten."
"This is an open-source product and it can be used free of charge."
"It is an open-source solution."
"The product is free to use."
"The license I use is free."
"Oracle should consider reducing the cost of the product."
