"Overall, the biggest performance is around virtualization and automation, you can build private clouds with Oracle VM using Enterprise Manager."
"The biggest advantage of Oracle VM is that you can separate your clusters to get your licenses agreement in scope."
"In terms of server provisioning, it only takes a few clicks of a button and a bit of install automation."
"What I like best about this product is that it's free."
"The virtualization product Oracle puts out just complements the performance of the database."
"The stability of the product is fine."

"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"Customers are moving to open source and Red Hat is the leader in this particular space. I think customers feel more confident running Red Hat Virtualization than VMware."
"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 price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."

"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"The solution is at its end of life and is about to be discontinued."
"The solution needs more features and flexibility in terms of communicating with other platforms. If it had that, it would be the perfect product."
"I think more Command-Line options for the product, for deployments."
"Oracle VM needs to add a backup feature."
"This solution is not as stable as other solutions in the market. But, Oracle has made an effort to improve these issues with recent updates."
"There are issues with the solution's stability since it crashes."
"Incorporating analytics related to performance, particularly within the dashboard interface, would be beneficial."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"I heard that there are big differences between Red Hat eight and seven, but it's still quite difficult for me to judge it. I found it a bit more difficult to manage than version seven, which was much easier. In term of features, though, it is still not yet clear which is better. I have no clear idea of which features need to be changed at the moment."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"RHEV can improve by keeping pace with new features and new enhancements. They should not be halted or delayed innovation because over the past quarter the enhancements have not been as fast as they have been previously."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
