I can't really find anything that i dislike. Oracle VM is fulfilling all my needs as for now. Maybe, the only thing that bothered me was there is no drag and drop between host and guest machines, everything else was fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Oracle VM?

Oracle Virtual machine is cost effective solution for current generation integrated enterprise management. There are Oracle VM templates available for deployment. Hundreds of such pre-built deployment templates are available for different needs of applications. Performance is fast as compared to other solutions available. Since the Oracle is not charging for licensing at least for now, we have lots of savings when compared to the hardware approach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle VM?

For every freeware we see some negatives and same is the case with Oracle Virtual machine, but this is offset by the positives that are there. some of the drawbacks are lack of support. Complication in the setup of shared folders for guests is another hassle we are facing. Not all network cards are supported. If a host wants to automatically drag some folders into the guest desktop, its not easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle VM:

Cost effective. That's enough for any enterprise to consider. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Oracle Virtual Machine caters for rapid enterprise application deployment and simplify life cycle management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Oracle VM?

Oracle VM is a good program because it runs on various different platforms, so you can use it with Windows, OS X, and I believe Linux as well. It also didn't hurt that Oracle VM is free to download. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle VM?

The program is difficult to use, and took a long time for us to set up and get the hang of, which was frustrating. There is not a lot of training offered for the program, which is very inconvenient, especially when multiple people need to be trained. The management side of things also needs a lot of work in my opinion. As far as I know, they haven't updated Oracle VM since 2014, so I'm not quite sure what the story is with that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle VM:

If you have the funds to purchase something other then Oracle VM, I would suggest you do that. Like I said previously, I don't think it's been updated since 2014, so I don't know if the company is even trying to expand upon or improve this program. I would think not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

There unfortunately aren't many benefits that I have found from using Oracle VM. The biggest benefits have been that it was free and that I can use it with both OS X and Windows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Oracle VM?

I like the easy setup process of Oracle VM, only took me 2 hours to set it up from scratch and once launched, the VM did not crash very often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle VM?

I did not like the fact that when I ran the VM on my gaming laptop, my laptop suddenly gave a BSOD which was odd for me since I had never seen a BSOD on my laptop before. However, it ran fine when I launched it on my desktop PC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle VM:

Use this product if you want a stable, easy to set up VM. Do not use this if you are unfamiliar with Oracle products in general. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am building a photo sharing, critiquing, and competition website called PhotoShare. I've realized the benefits of using Oracle VM in that I can access my remote servers even from an external network such as when I am away traveling or on vacation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Oracle VM?

Oracle VM Server is best used to virtualize other Oracle products. It is a pretty decent virtualization server based on Xen, and features fully tested and certified Oracle Applications stack for the enterprise environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle VM?

Having used another Oracle's VM solution, VirtualBox (previously owned by Sun, though), I disliked the Oracle VM Manager user interface as it was too complicated. Maintenance is not as straightforward as with XenServer or even Microsoft Hyper-V. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The main benefit is reduced license costs. I didn't really look in it, but for Oracle ERP and/or DB it turns out to be cheaper than hosting them on other virtualization solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Oracle VM?

We use Oracle VM to support our website. Previously we were using Wordpress and this is a huge step up. The program allows me to host the website in October where I can manually manipulate my code instead of having to fight through a hard to navigate webpage.

Beyond the website, it's great because it connects my company for all our coding needs. Our team can work together on code from all over the world using this one program instead of resorting to multiple platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle VM?

As I don't have a background in engineering, the software can be hard for me to use. When it's working, it works great. When it crashes, I have to wait for our support team to fix it for me. I'm slowly learning how to fix common issues myself, but it takes time away from other work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle VM:

The Oracle VM works great for a team of software engineers but when setting up machines for non-engineering team members you will likely face problems and delays because of those problems. I would recommend do more work before implementation, creating help guides for all users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The VM allows our team to collaborate across continents while using different computers (Macs & PCs) as well as different programs. It's saved us time and wasted energies in meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Oracle VM?

I personally like this VM as one can virtualized any linux OS. This VM doesn't lag or hang even if you virtualize 3-4 Linux machines. This is a freeware tool, that one can easily download and install on there personal machines Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle VM?

If you do like more than 4 Linux virtualization, this VM tend to lag. I assume that you have ample of RAM and space but still you will encounter a little delays, which can be overcome by loading lesser number of VMs at one moment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle VM:

Yes I would highly recommend this software , as it is freeware there is no harm in trying, if you don't like you can anytime switch back to other paid VM. But, I would highly recommend to try it first Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have to run automation scripts on various Linux machines to verify the functionality of our business application Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Oracle VM?

Before knowing Oracle VM, used other software market, but always we had difficulties of integration and performance. So I started to look for a solution of high perfomace and high scalability that was compatible with the internal policies of my company. Then I found the Oracle VM, so far the best choice I made in terms of virtualization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle VM?

not much dislike me in Oracle VM. Unfortunately what disturbs most is the documentation, my company is in Brazil and it is difficult to find qualified personnel in national territory. The documentation (fully in English) hinders the passage of knowledge, but nothing that would disrupt the use of the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use Oracle VM deployment process of our application. During the launch of a new version always occurred incompatibility issues in the production environment now launched an entire production environment thanks to Oracle VM Manager Web Services API. After all meets well our goals Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Oracle Exadata Cloud Service?

Queries that use to run for hours take only minutes now if not seconds on EXADATA. My company implemented about 2 years ago for our Maximo and Siebel services and recently our team (Datawarehouse) was able to migrate over as well and the performance gains are easily noticeable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Exadata Cloud Service?

There have been many hiccups along the way and our current DBA team are not very familiar with the setup of the new system requiring our firm to hire outside consultants to assist in the implementation of it. We are still using them even now, but it is a lot more stable now then before.

Also migration is a bit of a hassle and we are still having issues with it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle Exadata Cloud Service:

Be ready to have a firm migration path and have all stakeholders confirm that they will be available for it since it will hold up migrations if not everyone can do their part. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Migrate our 7 year old server currently running Oracle 10g to Exadata. It has been a drastic change in performance, helping the business retrieve metrics at a much quicker response time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
