Open-source and can be used for virtualization purposes

Pros

"The most valuable features of Oracle VM are live migration and snapshots."

Easy to scale [scale up and scale down], security is robust and encrypted

Pros

"If you want to access the VM from anywhere over the Internet, you put it in a public subnet. So, VMs are linked to that. The subnets are linked to it. So, it's perfectly secured if it's a private network. The security is set."

Cons

"Integration capabilities are a little complicated. It could be made easier. Whether integrating with Azure or other platforms or integration with OIC itself, the integration part is a little complicated. "
