We performed a comparison between Hyper-V and RHEV based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Server Virtualization Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Hyper-V improved the infrastructure drastically, not only from a performance perspective but from a control/administration view as well."
"The initial setup is simple. There's not much to do. We input one command or just one or two clicks on the UI. Initial setup in the Windows environment for any software is not that difficult."
"I like that Hyper-V comes for free with Windows Server. You don't need to buy the license, and you only have to pay for the management aspect in System Center."
"The simplicity and intuitiveness of the platform. It was a very simple adaptation, if you have any experience in virtualization."
"Hyper-V integrates well with other Microsoft solutions."
"The most valuable feature of Hyper-V is that it's very intuitive."
"It is easy to use, and it is stable. It is a good solution."
"The solution is easy to configure."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"The platform is scalable, allowing for the installation of multiple nodes."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"It would be nice if they provided a free management console that we could use to manage all of the hosts for no additional fee."
"In my opinion, it would have been better to truncate the site-to-site replication."
"I encounter issues such as mouse cursor problems, dependencies, lagging, freezing, and unresponsiveness using Hyper-V."
"I also use VMware which I find to be more scalable and stable overall."
"The management interface is in need of the biggest improvement."
"It needs additional administration and monitoring capabilities."
"It's not completely stable because your stack becomes bloated."
"In my opinion, read the documentation carefully. If you do not, you will have problems."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"Specifically, enhancements in managing virtual machine migrations, cloning, and the creation of different VMs could further optimize its functionality."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"In comparison to VMware, this solution isn't as stable. We're testing it right now, and we're not trusting the stability of the product."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"This solution could be more secure."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
