Oracle OVM is replaced by oracle OLVM. KVM replace XEN. oracle is cheaper than VMware and Oracle allows hard partioning on their products. So the license costs for the Oracle database or WebLogic server can be reduced.
But as tested, Oracle VM is best for Oracle Databases & Apps.
While VMWare is best for Windows and linux VMs .
Oracle databases, as well as apps performance, are much better and stable on the Oracle VM server. E.g., 1TB of the VM is cloned in just five minutes. The backend file system is different.

I recommend VMware, which is stable when putting it to production, you just need a server with enough memory and you will realize that VMware is the one.
Oracle VM and VMware vSphere compete in virtualization, with VMware vSphere leading in features and support for diverse applications and infrastructures.Features: Oracle VM offers hard partitioning, scalability with Oracle databases, and is cost-effective for Oracle products. VMware vSphere provides extensive network and storage options, high availability, and advanced resource management for diverse enterprise environments.Room for Improvement: Oracle VM needs a better user interface,...

Technically both products are good enough.

VMware is more popular. OVM or better OLVM is good for Oracle products because provides "hard paritioning".
