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."It is definitely the toughest competitor for VMware. It easily increases memory for our virtual machines."
"It runs our most critical workloads and supports all our branch offices."
"Hyper-V improved the infrastructure drastically, not only from a performance perspective but from a control/administration view as well."
"The virtualized applications and real time audition of the VMA is quite a good feature."
"The performance is very good."
"The organization has realized the benefits on smaller data center space, power, cooling, etc. apart from the benefit that the virtualization layer brings in."
"The solution is easy to configure."
"The most valuable features are ease of use, and it gets the job done in a straightforward manner."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Traditional architecture, such as converged infrastructure, should be done away with"
"If a person has never implemented the solution before, they might find the process difficult."
"Hyper-V serves its purpose, but some areas may not be as feature-rich as alternatives like VMware ESXi."
"It needs to improve the handling of the amount of storage."
"Hyper-V is hosted on OS but if your OS scratches you are in big trouble. In addition, if a host fails, automatically the machine and the virtual machine should boot from another source. Those type of features would benefit Hyper-V."
"The backup site could be better. We used to face a lot of issues, and we are looking to solve that now. We are in the process of moving all the infrastructure to the cloud. It could also use more integration on the management part. We also need more integration on the monitoring sites."
"Security, computing balance, and taking snapshots could be improved. Features like DRS and memory ballooning could be added."
"The management interface is in need of the biggest improvement."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"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."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"I heard that there are big differences between Red Hat eight and seven, but it's still quite difficult for me to judge it. I found it a bit more difficult to manage than version seven, which was much easier. In term of features, though, it is still not yet clear which is better. I have no clear idea of which features need to be changed at the moment."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
