What do you like best about Oracle VM?

Oracle VM is the best virtual machine that supports environments of various OS such as Windows, Linux, macOS. The feature to create a virtual machine of any OS is the best . We can make any VM and use that VM to perform desired operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle VM?

The feature of creating a VM is itself the best thing ever. We can make it and use that VM for tasks. Oracle VM should improve the frontend of its application so that when users create any VM, it is easy for them to interact Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Use Oracle VM for creating any OS VM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best is Oracle VM is it provides a simple and user-friendly environment while we want to use multiple operating systems on a single PC. It provides the best security for the user data. It prevents data loss and data correction while we are using two different operating systems. It help's so many people who are willing to work with different platforms at a time. Mainly it is very using full for the Windows operating system user because they can switch between Ubuntu and windows simultaneously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It helps me so much in accessing different applications which it could install on different operating platforms. It saved my time a lot while switching between different operating systems.

What do you like best about Oracle VM?

We used Oracle VM for SPARC PROCESSORS for virtualized our databases running on Solaris OS, for our X86 Processors we found that Oracle VM Server does the job, it let us create a virtual machine in a stable platform that it is compliance with the Oracle License agreement (Oracle Soft Partitioning for virtualization). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle VM?

Management is not intuitive Backups Operation, you must design your own plan Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle VM:

"For virtualization platform its lacks of a lot of functionalities when you compare it with VMware vSphere and Hyper-V. Oracle VM Server does the job that it was design for, it lets you virtualize virtual machines running with Oracle Red Hat Enterprise Server as Hypervisor, and then you must deploy a separate server like your ORACLE VM Management which deploy an agent on Oracle VM Server to manage it. In order to have a Cluster and Live Migration (Vmotion in vmware) you must configure a container, it will be a server pool. We got a bunch of physical servers running Oracle VM Server and their main objective it to virtualize servers that runs oracle products because oracle recognized as software portioning Oracle VM Server for licenses oracle products such like databases and WebLogic without licensing the whole processors."

What do you like best about Oracle VM?

Oracle VM is very easy to install, without having to have deep and complex knowledge to create, run and even export virtual machines. Compared to VMWare, Oracle VM causes me a lot less problems, besides being a much cheaper solution. It also turns out to be very easy to configure and use, even for our senior employees, who are the ones with less computer skills. This makes Oracle VM the ideal choice for beginners in programming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle VM?

On more occasions than I would like, Oracle VM works slow. I think this is because its interface is unstable. Another thing is that it usually locks and shows an error message when certain tasks are being executed, and although this is not so common it really complicates our activities and delays us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle VM:

Oracle VM VirtualBox is a recommended tool for small businesses, with computers that have at least 8 GB of RAM and the rest of the decent resources. If your goal is to transmit work frames, this tool is for you. It is also ideal for programming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In my company's IT department, all members use Oracle VM Virtual Box for different reasons. Personally, I use it to work with several frameworks, to bring order to each other. Also to run applications with basic hardware, without using the total resources of the main PC. We used VMWare before, but since we discovered Oracle VM 3 years ago, we can conclude that it works better, since it greatly facilitates our development process.

What do you like best about Oracle VM?

Oracle VM makes it very easy and straightforward to configure a system and replicate specific hardware scenarios. It comes with guides that explain exactly how to get an optimum performance on your Virtual Machine. They are guiding you to every step, so it minimizes the chance of making mistakes. I love that it supports virtualization in several operating systems, such as: Windows, Linux, Warp Solaris / and even Android. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle VM?

The main issue of running Oracle VM is the memory usage, as it takes a lot of your RAM when it's running and your computer may run slower than usual. The Full screen mode is confusing too, as shorcuts are a bit difficult to remember. Also, the library where the VM is located could be arranged to be shown in a better display. The more powerful our computer is, the loss of performance will be noticed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle VM:

OracleVM VirtualBox provides a safe environment for making all the testing you need on different OS. In the event that you are thinking to take Oracle VM for individual use, it's a good choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Oracle VM is used for multiple different actions in the IT department, such as: test virtual machines, production machines and jumpboxes. It offers a safety environment for testing the compatibility of a new software into different OS. It is so easy to do this as the UI enables the client to change a large portion of the parameters included. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Virtualbox is a complete virtualization solution, works great on servers or home needs.

- The main advantage is the cost: zero. It offers all the virtualization technologies available in the market, compatibility with operating systems, through additional guests.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle VM?

- The only disappointment i have faced is the connection of a USB stick to the machine. I have did every possible way to get ti work, but i failed. There are no good tutorials on the internet about the software which i believe is the main draw back for this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

- I use VM everytime at my work place to do all the office related work.

- It is very convenient to easily switch between the VM and my OS and can work parallel.

What do you like best about Oracle VM?

What I like most about Oracle VM VirtualBox is its flexibility. You can turn up various VMs on a single PC, something that allows you test software or apps in several situations and see how they will run on different OS or on a PC with specific characteristics. It's also very customizable, so we can attach it to different networks, change environment settings, import/export virtual machines, etc. Also, it can be installed in any operating system and be able to use all programs, either private or free, since you have no restrictions for use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle VM?

What I least like about this software is that sometimes some simulations are very slow to install and use, I don't know if its because of my computer or because VirtualBox system. For example, I am having 25 FPS when I am on Linux Software, and internet can be very slow there and I can find way to exit VirtualBox simulation. This is because your RAM will split in half. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle VM:

Oracle VM will respond like a real computer, where you can manually make every modification to the settings easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With Oracle VM VirtualBox I am installing windows 10 on my computer which I don't know if it's gonna turn well for me, and just simulate it and see how is my computer reacting on it. It represents an extraordinary tool for my association, as it enables us to test other accessible software, by running them straightforwardly on the virtual condition. With Oracle VM, we have the ability to do this without the developers needing to have full admin rights on their machines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
