"It's a very mature product."
"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."
"The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"It is a stable product."
"In terms of server provisioning, it only takes a few clicks of a button and a bit of install automation."
"VMware is user-friendly, with clear integration and detailed migration."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"It's a scalable solution."

"Its database management features could be better."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"The solution is an outdated Xen-based application."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."

"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"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."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"This solution could be more secure."
