"In terms of server provisioning, it only takes a few clicks of a button and a bit of install automation."
"It provides enhancements for network and storage configuration, policy-based management for delivering application resource flexibility, and a GUI."
"What I like best about this product is that it's free."
"The solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"It is simple and straightforward, and it will only require you one system integrator to do the job."
"Oracle is probably the best database technology out there. I've never found anything as complete in terms of feature and functionality and sophistication."
"Cloning is the best feature in Oracle VM."
"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 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 makes migration easy."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."

"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"The only improvement needed for Oracle VM is the look and feel of the interface."
"There is no memory over-subscription and CPU over-subscription. That has to be improved in terms of Oracle VM perspective. The other leading virtualizing software solutions have this feature."
"The usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"Something that could be improved are the snapshots that go in the ZFS Storage. If you want to enjoy Oracle VM, you will definitely want it to go together with ZFS Storage to maximize on the snapshot facility."
"The solution needs more features and flexibility in terms of communicating with other platforms. If it had that, it would be the perfect product."

"There are issues with the solution's stability since it crashes."
"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."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
