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."What I like best about this product is that it's free."
"The stability is rock solid."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"The solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"Good visualization hypervisor."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"It provides enhancements for network and storage configuration, policy-based management for delivering application resource flexibility, and a GUI."
"What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"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 very stable."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"Incorporating analytics related to performance, particularly within the dashboard interface, would be beneficial."
"If you do a gap analysis between VMware and Oracle VM, you can't do VM Snapshot. That's one thing you can't do. It's a sort of a snapshot, but it's not really Snapshot technology. It requires that you're running on CFS-2."
"Integrating with the internal system is not very easy."
"Something that could be improved are the snapshots that go in the ZFS Storage. If you want to enjoy Oracle VM, you will definitely want it to go together with ZFS Storage to maximize on the snapshot facility."
"There are currently issues with centralized storage."
"There is no memory over-subscription and CPU over-subscription. That has to be improved in terms of Oracle VM perspective. The other leading virtualizing software solutions have this feature."
"With our current OVM Manager version, migrating a VM from one repository to another repository was really complicated, especially editing and manually matching the configuration."
"The configuration can be more flexible. It is a necessity."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
"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."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"Specifically, enhancements in managing virtual machine migrations, cloning, and the creation of different VMs could further optimize its functionality."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
