User Testimonials
	Oracle VM
Likelihood to Recommend	Oracle Well suited: development work as they provide a very nice free tier, datacenters in Latin America with very low ping, heavy loads for DB if you use Oracle DB Less appropriate: fast webservers as they use hard disks for several tiers, fast MySQL databases as the server is shared, auto-scaling functionality is not present.

Pros	Oracle Installation and setup of VM Server are pretty straight forward. Many different guest operating systems are supported. There can be up to 128 virtual machines per physical server. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Oracle Not as flexible as VMware. Could have slightly better templates for provisioning database nodes. In terms of performance it lags a bit behind Red Hat's KVM solution. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
