User Testimonials
	Oracle Solaris	VMware Cloud Foundation on IBM Cloud
Likelihood to Recommend	Oracle It's good for environments that need to operate 24/7 due to its stability, as I mentioned before. It's also very good for enterprise applications that can't afford unscheduled downtime, for truly high-priority environments. I don't think it would be recommended for small companies with people who have no prior knowledge of the tool, as the learning curve is quite steep. RV rubens vilarinho tecnico de informatica Read full review	IBM Multiple capabilities that VMware Cloud Foundation on IBM Cloud provides are excellent and very much involved in secure data migration and management, easy to monitor server performance and the virtual capability is on top and the data analytics using the platform are provided in real-time and the reports are the most useful, especially on the critical situations within the business development.

Implementation Rating	Oracle Stress testing and timing is key. You need test systems that mirror the live environments. User testing must be reflected in peak loads. Andrew Buckle Senior Infrastructure Analyst Read full review	IBM No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Oracle We used Windows Server quite a bit because of the ease of use for the team, file sharing, Active Directory, and systems integrated with Windows; learning was easier, and the interface was more user-friendly. On the other hand, Oracle stood out for its stability because we provide services that keep environments up and running 24/7.
