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.

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.

The tool is affordable, easy to use. I have used it and it works perfectly well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No particular reason to hate the tool. It never disappoint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I think the best feature is the ability to run different kinds of operating systems through this. I have tried loading up CentOS, MAC, and Fedora through the VM and they have worked pretty smoothly. Great portability and the multiscreen resolutions are great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A little slow when you are running a lot of virtual machines, and slow to load up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

extremely flexible, powerful technology - able to do almost anything - provided you have the expertise necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

terrible documentation, multiple locations and versions, no central location to find what is needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has an intuitive and easy to use web interface, as well as an OCI client if you need to automate, we use Oracle Compute Cloud Service for fast and easy to use websites that do not require much continuous development. For example, we use it if a customer needs a direct access website without much real functionality, or simply a basic website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For large-scale applications, it can be difficult to manage the load by provisioning gears within the same host. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Oracle Compute Cloud Service helps us to reduce the CAPEX investment and also the OPEX as well. We already shift our small applications into the IaaS cloud service ; We have done a big job that is Mail server is running from Oracle Compute cloud service and it reduces our operational maintenance cost. We have done a Disaster recovery system that is in Hybrid model on oracle compute Cloud service ; our EBS Application has the Secondary option on cloud compute instance and Database as well on PaaS service. IT helps us a lot , anytime we can scale up and scale down the instance , any shape and any images that we can provision here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Still Upgrading some features, Rapidly changes some features as Oracle trying to beat amazon , OCI introduce recently where as the old users are still using Classic service and the changes will effect some technical understanding to the users . It has still some environmental error certainly occur while instantiate some tasks but it is nominal and fixed automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
