Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Canonical, Oracle and others in Operating Systems (OS) for Business."It is secure in terms of the network, the viruses, etc."
"The product can scale."
"It's mostly reliable."
"The graphical interface is fine. And the documentation is extremely valuable."
"Oracle Linux is very compatible with other platforms."
"Oracle is well-known for its strong security measures. I have a great deal of confidence in the security of the Oracle DB, including its ability to monitor changes made to the database."
"It is a stable solution. We rarely face any issues with the machine."
"The configuration with Oracle database and Oracle Center databases is easy."
"What I like best about this product is that it's free."
"The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"Oracle VM is user-friendly and facilitates compliance with Oracle Licensing, a feature not provided by competitors like VMware or Hyper-V. Oracle prefers customers to use their technology. It is also easy to implement, clone, and deploy machines with Oracle VM, making it a convenient solution."
"Oracle is probably the best database technology out there. I've never found anything as complete in terms of feature and functionality and sophistication."
"The stability is rock solid."
"It's easy to adjust the size up and down."
"Cloning is the best feature in Oracle VM."
"It's quite stable."
"Time drifts happen frequently, and the database restarts automatically to protect data integrity."
"The solution needs to improve there their capability with most of the applications."
"I would like Oracle Linux to have more frequent updates."
"The solution could be less costly."
"The download speed is not good. Oracle can improve their servers capacity, especially in Asia."
"It does not have any reporting on attempted intrusions."
"Occasionally, we might get an alert to restart our database, and if we don't do it on our own, the system will do it automatically. That can cause downtime issues if your clients aren't expecting it."
"Pricing could be improved."
"I've found that using Oracle VM is like stepping back in time. It's not kept up with technology. The only reason anyone uses it is that they're afraid of Oracle's licensing. Oracle has a tremendously bad licensing approach."
"It was a complex setup. It was very difficult for me."
"There have been some security issues in the past."
"The user interface of the version that we have requires improvement. They have already improved the user interface in the latest version, but we are yet to migrate to that. The new UI is much better. I would like it to be simple. It is serving all of our needs, and I don't think it is necessary to keep adding. We are able to provision a VM in ten minutes, and provisioning it in five minutes will not have any added benefit."
"With our current OVM Manager version, migrating a VM from one repository to another repository was really complicated, especially editing and manually matching the configuration."
"Incorporating analytics related to performance, particularly within the dashboard interface, would be beneficial."
"Integrating with the internal system is not very easy."
"Oracle VM could provide integration with backup solutions."
