"Simple to boot and set up, and relatively responsive within the VM"
4.5/5
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.

"Powerful but complicated"
2.5/5
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.

"Easy to Use, When It Works"
5/5
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.

"Awesome Product - Speedy !"
5/5
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.

"High performance and availability"
5/5
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.

"Day to day virtualization"
3/5
What do you like best about Oracle VM?

A competetive virtualization product. Simple to use that does the job. It is designed to further abstract away the details of the platform. It doesn't need to provision storage or compute resources or anything like that. The resources are provisioned automatically, and scaling is handled by the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle VM?

User interface is not very friendly or powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
