"The Foundation is the most valuable feature of Oracle VM."
"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."
"Its technical support is quite good."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"It is very stable."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"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."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"The documentation for implementation could be improved because we were not able to find an easy way to implement our company's features due to a lack of understanding."
"There have been some security issues in the past."
"Oracle VM should be more feature-rich."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"Its database management features could be better."
"The configuration can be more flexible. It is a necessity."
"The usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"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."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"This solution could be more secure."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"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."
"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."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
