"The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"The biggest advantage of Oracle VM is that you can separate your clusters to get your licenses agreement in scope."
"It is simple and straightforward, and it will only require you one system integrator to do the job."
"It provides enhancements for network and storage configuration, policy-based management for delivering application resource flexibility, and a GUI."
"Its ease of management and simplicity are most valuable. It is free, and you can provision an unlimited number of VMs at no cost for clients. They also provide perfect support."
"It is very useful for the project management of our company."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"The only improvement needed for Oracle VM is the look and feel of the interface."
"The tool's price and stability could be better."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"With our current OVM Manager version, migrating a VM from one repository to another repository was really complicated, especially editing and manually matching the configuration."

"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"There are currently issues with centralized storage."
"Oracle VM needs to add a backup feature."
"The support is tricky in a few places. We're facing some challenges within Malaysia where we don't really have the system integrators available who can provide extended support. When we need personnel on-site, we can't get them."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"In comparison to VMware, this solution isn't as stable. We're testing it right now, and we're not trusting the stability of the product."
"It would be better to have more patches, especially kernel-level updates, live and online so that we can keep the business up and running during this period."
"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 solution should be made more user-friendly."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
