What do you like best about Oracle VM?

When I started at my company, I didn’t know how to use VirtualBox, but I discovered how easy and intuitive this software was, and I could master it completely in a couple of weeks. As VirtualBox is widely used across the IT department, I never had to install the OS I wanted to work with. It was as simple as open the VM that some of my colleague sent me with the OS installed, and I could start working on it right away. Another thing I like is that VirtualBox is a very popular software among the IT community, so it’s not difficult to find help on online forums regardless of any doubt you may have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle VM?

When trying to access to VirtualBox for the first time, some computers show an error and you have to allow virtualization through the bios, making it a tedious and long process. Also, when getting into full screen it is almost impossible to come back to regular size, as this change has to be done with a shortcut that’s hard to remember. Also, there are issues with the drivers, which doesn’t necessarily come installed with the OS, so you have to install them manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle VM:

Recommended for network builders, programmers, coders and software engineers wanting to test their products on different virtual environments. Make sure the computer you use has enough RAM and enough memory to allocate the VM, as they may be heavy in some cases. Also, if you want to have practice on system assurance, VirtualBox is perfect for the job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Oracle VM solving and how is that benefiting you?

From the first day I started working on my company I noticed that VirtualBox was one of the software most used in there. It is the tool selected for deploying our testing Virtual Machines. Every developer, software engineer and programmer gets into VirtualBox to test all of their products within different operating systems and versions of themselves. The main point of getting into a VM is detecting how the product will respond in different machines, under different circumstances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Oracle VM?

Although it’s used for complex purposes, the setup and usage of Oracle VM is simple and fast. Also, it doesn’t limit itself to Windows, as it allows the installation of almost every OS on the market. It even runs uncommon OS, like Kali Linux, giving us the chance to test it first before implementing it into a physical workstation. Another thing is that Oracle VM is able to emulated several Virtual Machines and run them at the same time, adding to them as many specifics characteristics as you wish, saving a lot of time on turning a machine off and changing its settings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle VM?

Even when it does a great job on creating and setting up a VM, it still lacks of some important features when it comes to the connection with the physical and virtual machine. For example: when inserting a flash memory via USB on the physical machine it does not appear on the VM. In case I would like to view those Files and folders inside a VM, I would have to copy from the flash and paste it within the VM, making this process tedious. I think if it would automatic it would simplify a lot of things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle VM:

If you work as a software developer, Oracle VM could be a great tool for you when you're on the evaluation phase, testing how it’s going to perform in different environments. Also, if you’re considering to buy an OS, you may want to test it first, and to avoid putting in risk your own machine, you can always use a VM for these purposes. Another recommendation is to use Oracle VM if you want to use a software without having it installed in your own computer. You can install it within a VM and it will always be set for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Oracle VM solving and how is that benefiting you?

My company develops software and Oracle VM is an excellent tool for testing them on different OS, with different connectivity settings and within a machine with different parameters. What’s great about Oracle VM is that we can do all that on a single PC with this solution installed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Oracle VM?

Oracle VM gives user the control to change as many parameters as needed, even for setting up bridged network, with just a few steps to follow. It comes with guides that explain exactly how to get an optimum performance on your Virtual Machine. What I like the most is the feature for Saving state, when I can just leave the session right there an return exactly where I was. The UI is very simplified, without long menus and instructions. And, of course, it’s free! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle VM?

This solution still lacks of some basic features, like printing or opening USB devices from the host’s computer. Also, the Full screen mode is confusing. It sometimes opens by accident the shortcut for returning it to its right size is confusing. Finally, I was forced to download the guest OS addon to put sound on the OS. This should be done automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle VM:

Oracle VM is a perfect solution for members of the IT department working on developing new software. It provides a safe environment for making all the testing you need on different OS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Oracle VM solving and how is that benefiting you?

Oracle VM is used all across the IT department individually or in teams to create, set and test new solutions we develop or purchased. It offers a safety environment for testing the compatibility of a new software into different OS. We also use Oracle VM for training exercises, creating an internal network for developing software, setting a safety environment for developers to practice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Oracle VM?

The greatest things about this solution are: it’s free, open source, easy to install and to learn, the UI is informative and gives user the ability to change all the Virtual Machine parameters and you’re able to save the current state of a local Virtual Machine, so you can return and continue exactly where you left off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle VM?

Setting up the network settings may be the only complicated parameter to change on Oracle VM. It comes with NAT by default and you have to turn off the Virtual Machine in order to switch the networks settings each time. Another thing is that the VM does not always allowed some drivers. You have to get the specifically ad don to the current OS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle VM:

Oracle is perfectly suited for IT companies and IT departments in general, when professionals want to create or test apps or software in safe environments. Also, it's a great way to hold information out of your regular workstation, saving space and making it easily transportable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Oracle VM solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are long time clients of Oracle, as we own several licenses for Oracle software, and Oracle VM fits very well into our collection. We implement this software when we want to run solutions on a safe environment without compromising the security or resources of the main workstation. It’s so simple to use that all of our IT department knows how to create, set up and export a Virtual Machine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Oracle Exadata Cloud Service?

I love how well Exadata Cloud performs. We are able to process significantly more data than when we were just on Oracle RAC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Exadata Cloud Service?

The service is okay, EXCEPT when we have support requests. Even though we're on an older version of Oracle (12.2), we continue to find bugs in the platform. The timeliness for resolving these bugs leaves much to be desired. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Oracle Exadata Cloud Service solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a developer on the World of Warcraft development team, we need to support an increasing number of players attempting to get into our game. In fact, most realm capacity issues are a direct result of limited database hardware resources. By using Exadata, we are increasing that throughput significantly.

What do you like best about Oracle VM?

What I like the most is that it's a very simple process to setup the software and it's very simple to use, coming with a UI that gives user the power to change a wide scope of the machine's parameters before beginning the Virtual Machine. Another thing is that this solution has several guides for ideal virtual machine execution to take the most benefit for the utilization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle VM?

Although there is an uncountable amount of information online about this software, it is difficult to find specific replies on the documentation. Also, the updates are not done automatically, they have to be done manually, which is annoying and takes too much time. I would like this to be fixed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle VM:

Oracle VM is an ideal answer for programmers, software engineers and developers who need to run some virtual machines for improvement and testing purposes. It can likewise work great in situations where there's a complex virtual that has to be tested. However, as an advice, try not to anticipate that it should turn into your answer for supplant a pack of servers with better performance for virtualization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Oracle VM solving and how is that benefiting you?

On the IT department, we use Oracle VM VirtualBox to assemble separated virtual workstations and to test software on different OS. Detached virtual workstations enable the user to get to the desired conditions without reconfigure the host’s PC. This significantly helps with anticipating inadvertent harm to my own framework and access to my essential condition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
