VM Server Likes & Dislikes
I like the feature of hosting multiple virtual machines working on them together too and causing no major issues. I even like the features where I can on my own set CPU and RAM according to my system and project need. I even like the feature where i can a make machine with multiple linux,debian options.
We are running some legacy solaris workloads, and the stability and performance of these is much better than on any other hypervisor we have tried. The hard-partitioning, essentially pinning CPU's to VMs saves us a lot of costs since now we don't have to pay specific license costs for each core in the physical server. It's a mature and battle-tested architecture that has been very stable and reliable for some of our most critical workloads.
Strong integration with Oracle Linux and KVM, providing a supported and consistent virtualization stack. Good performance and stability, particularly for Oracle middleware workloads. Cost efficiency, especially comapred to traditional enterprise hypervisors, with predictable licensing and support.
On a begineer level to setup a VM it can be confusing to create a machine and also its configurations too.I would suggest if some steps or guide book can help during initial stages only. Also sometimes while running multiple machines there can be some perfromance drop issues too.
Since the extended support has ended, this product is no longer receiving bug fixes, security patches or new features. Managing the stack is hard, and requires its own complex stack just to be able to manage the hypervisor. The maintenance burden is thus quite high. Handles over-commitment of resources poorly, causing the need to buy more capacity than you require.
Management interface and tooling are still in an early stage and need improvement. Smaller ecosystem and third-party integrations, particularly around backup tools. Steeper learning curve for teams without prior KVM or Oracle Linux experience.

Stability and Performance Remain Strong Despite Lack of Ongoing Updates and Support
Reliable for the workloads we're already running on it. However, due to it officially being a legacy product that is no longer receiving updates / new features, we are not using it for any new workloads. - Senior Manager1B-10B USDIT ServicesReview Source
Customizable Resource Allocation Simplifies Handling Diverse Project Requirements
I am using VM server setup for one of my SIEM project. VM server has given me a soild experience for managing multiple environments on a single machine. Once all of the system configurations are configured properly the system runs very smoothly. Even once you get handson the tool its gets more easier with the configuration part it only takes minutes to create a machine. - Sys Admin50M-1B USDManufacturingReview Source
Solid KVM based virtualization platform with strong Oracle Linux integration
We are new to this technology but for now we had a positive overall experience. The platform is stable and well integrated with Oracle Linux, and also provides a solid KVM based virtualization stack. It works reliably for Oracle workloads and general purpose virtual machines, however the ecosystem and tooling needs to be more mature. - Project Manager50M-1B USDIT ServicesReview Source
Oracle VM Server Offers Stability for Workloads but Faces Innovation Challenges
Our experience with Oracle VM server has been Mixed , The Platform performs reliably for Oracle workloads and integrates well with Oracle products, However , Limited innovation, reduced vendor focus and operational alternatives impact its overall value - Security Analyst50M-1B USDSoftwareReview Source
