Customers considering virtualization software can consider Oracle VM Server as their single-stop solution. The data centre managers should look at this as their first option. And certainly Oracle, with its long legacy in enterprise IT, knows how to build a powerful virtualization platform. Besides its free for Oracle customers makes it pretty unique in its own field.

  • Management/GUI is uncomfortable.
  • Remote control via VNC is hard to use with graphic interface and for terminal we have SSH configuration and maintenance is not as straight forward as in VMware, Xen or even Microsoft Hyper-V.

DigitalOcean has no development free tier, so for startups is not as convenient. DigitalOcean DNS system is way easier to use than Oracle's. DigitalOcean firewall is also easier to use and implement. On the other hand, DigitalOcean pricing is more expensive for big VMs (like 64 Gb and 8 CPUs) and above.
