"Oracle VM is user-friendly and facilitates compliance with Oracle Licensing, a feature not provided by competitors like VMware or Hyper-V. Oracle prefers customers to use their technology. It is also easy to implement, clone, and deploy machines with Oracle VM, making it a convenient solution."
"The solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"It is a stable product."
"Because of the virtualization for Linux, I use just Linux basically in all VMs, a few with Windows."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."
"Its technical support is quite good."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward and well-documented. The process is very similar to its competitors. The success of your setup depends on how well you plan."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"It's a scalable solution."
"The most valuable features of RHEV are all the tools, such as virtualization, management of cloud platforms, and integration of container environments. The solution has good compatibility between virtualization, content management, and cloud management. Having the full set of these tools is the advantage of it."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"The usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."

"The pricing could be cheaper. It is very pricey."
"It was a complex setup. It was very difficult for me."
"One is the hypervisor. Right now, it’s all using Xen. What would be really helpful is to have some choice, and the underlying hypervisor technology use KVM which is very popular with certain workloads."
"I've found that using Oracle VM is like stepping back in time. It's not kept up with technology. The only reason anyone uses it is that they're afraid of Oracle's licensing. Oracle has a tremendously bad licensing approach."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"I would like to be able to ship all of our logs. This feature could exist and I am just not aware of it."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
