"Its technical support is quite good."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable features of Oracle VM are live migration and snapshots."

"Oracle VM could provide integration with backup solutions."
"It was a complex setup. It was very difficult for me."
"The configuration can be more flexible. It is a necessity."
"Productivity in Oracle VM could still be improved, and an additional feature to make the product better is compatibility with Kubernetes and other modern technologies."
"The usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"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."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"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."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
