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 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 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.

The Oracle VM is very easy to install after the download is complete. It is easy to set up once you follow the necessary steps that are provided during the installation process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have had a tough time to install another operating system on my VM. I get stuck at the stage where I want to install Oracle Solaris. I cannot get past this stage. It's not offering an option of creating a new virtual environment. I have used it before in other machines, but getting to the next stage on my current workstation is not possible.

I like the fact that Virtual Box can be used to create test environments. At my company it is not easy to get test environments provisioned. So this tool allows our developers to setup their own environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish that more people knew about this product. Many people know about other virtualization environments but for some reason they dont know about this. I also wish their were more VMs available in different environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

upgrades are relatively easy and straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

there are a number of features which are perhaps implemented better in vmware. For example, the procedure for cloning a live VM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
