"Awesome virtual machine to work with"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Oracle VM?

It's the best virtual machine available and it's free of cost. Simple to install and easy to learn. I tried virtual box to work with Pysark installed in ubuntu. To work with the different OS I never had to install it to the system. We can change the parameters easily in UI depending on the space available and ram. I tried different OS such as Ubuntu, Macintosh, and Solaris and oracle VM works perfectly smooth in all those setups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle VM?

We cant drag and drop a file from our host system to the virtual machine. This makes it very difficult to accomplish many of my tasks. Initial setup is a lengthy process and consumes a lot of time. Apart from this everything works fine and am pretty happy with Oracle VM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle VM:

If you want to try different OS on a single machine. It's the best tool you have to go for. It saves a lot of time and it's totally free. You don't have to buy a separate OS and install it into the system. The user interface is very attractive and easy to use. We can optimize our VM based on the requirement. Easy to learn and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Using oracle virtual machine for the past 1 year to deal with pyspark installed on ubuntu OS. It's very difficult to install Pyspark on windows so I searched for an alternative to fix the same and finally landed in Oracle VM. If we install a separate OS in our system it consumes a lot of time and space. Oracle VM is a savior in this case. We can optimize VM based on our requirements and available space.

We have been running on Huawei's all-flash storage for the last 5 years. It's very easy to manage, like adding network storage and VM Guests.

The support is awesome 24/7. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
