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."
"We had other costumers that had used other solutions, such as VMware and Microsoft hypervisor, but I've pushed them all over to VirtualBox because of its flexibility and potential."
"Oracle VM VirtualBox allows me to extend my existing computer to run multiple operating systems."
"A major improvement we've seen is in the testing of the applications before production deployment."
"Oracle VM VirtualBox has a platform where the support team responds to frequently asked questions by its users. Every time I have had issues with Oracle VM VirtualBox, I always get a solution from Oracle's online platform or GitHub."
"The solution is very convenient and easy to use."
"Overall, the solution works very well and we have been happy with it."
"This solution can be used on many different platforms including Windows and Linux."
"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."
 

Cons

"Odin Virtuozzo has poor support and needs to improve."
"I think this solution needs improvement with the business continuity planning, disaster and recovery management, and using centralized data storage."
"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."
"I’d like to see Oracle make it easy to drag and drop files between a VM and the host PC."
"The product needs better support for multiple network cards. That is the major area that sometimes it can be a bit of a mess to configure multiple network cards to communicate well with each other."
"I can't do everything I need for virtualization, for example like with vMotion or another solution."
"It's not as robust as server platforms, nor does it need to be."
"I would recommend the solution for licensing purposes if you are using an Oracle database. Otherwise, I would recommend clients to consider different platforms."
"The interface should be easier to comprehend"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license for Odin Virtuozzo is based on consumption on demand."
"This is an open-source product and it can be used free of charge."
"It is pretty good for the price, which is free."
"There are no licensing fees."
"The solution is free."
"No licensing is required as it is open-source."
"Price wise, Oracle VM VirtualBox is a six on a scale from one to ten."
"It is a very cost-effective solution."
