Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Reviews - Page 26

Oracle VM is a free solution, so we don't have to purchase licenses, that tend be expensive in similar software. It has a very complete set of commands to control functionality, as well as a simple UI, if you are not a terminal guy. Besides, It allows you to support multiple OS, so you can use several of them in a single computer. Also, it allows for environment replication, which means you can duplicate a VM and use it on another computer, and you can use hypervisor to run any version of Windows and Linux without issues. Personally, I use it with vagrant to set up a provisioning process on-the-go and it works pretty well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes you have to change BIOS settings to enable virtualization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Oracle VM VirtualBox is great in so many ways. It’s simple, easy to use and setup is very quick, taking only a couple of minutes. You can create countless VMs and run them simultaneously, although it depends on the resources of your workstation. Not only that, but I can have multiple OS running simultaneously and with the specific characteristics of my choose. Also, It facilitates the use of docker and containerizing workloads via development desktops. I think it provides the rightful native environment for testing different OS.

Although Oracle VM VirtualBox can simulate several environments, simulating a Mac environment is a bit difficult. You have to set it up too specifically so it can run with no bugs. Also, it doesn’t have documentation, especially when trying to run VMs with unusual drivers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tool has always worked and never disappoints more so when it comes to using it, managing the wool as well as customization. It makes container registry a walk in the park. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Registry has presented zero challenges and therefore I have no basis to complain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Registry and it outperforms other similar tools. Thanks to its UI, using and managing it is easy. Customization is also easy and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Registry offers many features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Oracle VM is free and it’s still reliable, something hard to tell with other free products out there. Also, setting-up, running machines and manage resources of any VM can be done with basic computer knowledge. Software virtualization is possible with a couple of clicks when using Oracle VM. Also, it works well with Vagrant, so it enables an easy setting up for machines in any desired state. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s uncommon, but I have found some errors that tend to crash the VM, especially some errors with OVF/OVA images, where these have been ignored in the startup and install sections. Also, if the main computer goes to sleep mode, machines seem to lose network connectivity, tend to crash and, sometimes, even their clocks goes out of sync. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Oracle VM is free of any fees or subscriptions, and this makes it a great option considering everything it’s very cost effective to manage and handle. The customization of the resources can be done easily. Even if there’s something you can’t find, there is a lot of documentation out there so you can customize your solutions. You can even get detailed environment configuration with suggestions based on your host system's resources, so the possibilities are infinite with this software.

Although there is a lot of documentation of the software, it’s very hard to find answers. If you have a specific issue, you will have to review a lot of the documentation in order to get the rightful solution. Also, this software takes a lot of resources from your PC. For example, if you want to run Ubuntu in your VM you will need at least 8GB of Ram, and the performance may not be as smooth as you’d like. Also, the 3D graphics acceleration performance is pathetic, so avoid using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although it was implemented several years go in my company, tt was the first virtualization tool I ever used and it was incredibly simple to install and learn. Then I used VMWare, but I decided to stay with Oracle VM it had a better performance with a cheaper price. I love that I can choose all settings from the VM, so I can create exactly the type of environment I want in order to test a product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Oracle VM is installed across several computers in the IT department and some of them showed an error the first time I was trying to open a VM. After searching online I discovered I had to permit virtualization through BIOS. I still don't know why it only happens in a few computers, but this process when slow and unpleasant. Also, there are some issues with the drivers, like a 3D video driver I'm unable to add, regardless of the customization I make to the VM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The aviatrix solution that automates OCI provisionment, has helped lots of customers to deploy OCI quicker and more efficiently. In this multi cloud world, having the ability to quickly deploy and connect OCI into Azure is a must have! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest challenge is how far along OCI is from a networking standpoint. As it continues to improve, the better it will be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.

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.
