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.

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.

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.

Although there is an uncountable amount of information online about this software, it is difficult to find specific replies on the documentation.

Oracle VM is an ideal answer for programmers, software engineers and developers who need to run some virtual machines for improvement and testing purposes.

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.
