We performed a comparison between Oracle VM 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."It is a scalable solution."
"What I like best about this product is that it's free."
"The virtualization product Oracle puts out just complements the performance of the database."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"The network capabilities are good."
"In terms of server provisioning, it only takes a few clicks of a button and a bit of install automation."
"The ability to live migrate VMs on the fly from one hypervisor to another has been very useful."
"Oracle VM is user-friendly and facilitates compliance with Oracle Licensing, a feature not provided by competitors like VMware or Hyper-V. Oracle prefers customers to use their technology. It is also easy to implement, clone, and deploy machines with Oracle VM, making it a convenient solution."
"It's a scalable solution."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"Customers are moving to open source and Red Hat is the leader in this particular space. I think customers feel more confident running Red Hat Virtualization than VMware."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"The user interface of the version that we have requires improvement. They have already improved the user interface in the latest version, but we are yet to migrate to that. The new UI is much better. I would like it to be simple. It is serving all of our needs, and I don't think it is necessary to keep adding. We are able to provision a VM in ten minutes, and provisioning it in five minutes will not have any added benefit."
"Incorporating analytics related to performance, particularly within the dashboard interface, would be beneficial."
"There are currently issues with centralized storage."
"Deployment should be simplified."
"This solution is not as stable as other solutions in the market. But, Oracle has made an effort to improve these issues with recent updates."
"The tool's price and stability could be better."
"I would say third-party plugins to other storage vendors. There are a lot of converged infrastructure setups; one that we have, multiple different hardware vendors. So that would be something we could definitely be looking for."
"Oracle VM should be promoted more as an open-source and stable software."
"RHEV can improve by keeping pace with new features and new enhancements. They should not be halted or delayed innovation because over the past quarter the enhancements have not been as fast as they have been previously."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"The support is tricky in a few places. We're facing some challenges within Malaysia where we don't really have the system integrators available who can provide extended support. When we need personnel on-site, we can't get them."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"Specifically, enhancements in managing virtual machine migrations, cloning, and the creation of different VMs could further optimize its functionality."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
