We performed a comparison between Oracle VM VirtualBox 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."The flexibility as well as performance wise and as well as data volume, we have huge volume stored."
"This is a good and easy solution for running virtual environments."
"The configuration and installation is pretty straightforward."
"It is a stable product."
"Oracle VM Virtualbox is easy to use and does not require much training."
"The flexibility and the closed platform, so it allows you to run in multiple platforms, Windows, Linux, Macintosh."
"This is a highly scalable solution."
"The pause feature is valuable. I can pause, which is something that not all hypervisors allow. The snapshot feature is also valuable."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"The solution is stable."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"It is very stable."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"The technical support needs to improve."
"I find the solution to be incredibly unstable, constantly falling over and not working properly."
"The AI and the UI could be improved. The user interface is a little outdated and the AI is not very attractive."
"When I select the Ubuntu operating system from within the virtual machine, it sometimes hangs."
"Having live migrations to move a running server to other hardware would be great."
"The solution needs to improve the methods used for starting and stopping the machine."
"It would be good if we could use Hyper-V Windows subsystems with Linux and VirtualBox on the same instance. Currently, to be able to use VirtualBox, we have to restart the machine into an instance of Windows where Hyper-V is disabled, which is understandably very inconvenient."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"When we do a direct comparison, then obviously VMware does better in terms of having Fault Tolerance and doing active disaster recovery and these kind of things. This is something that can be improved within Red Hat."
"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 availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
"It would be better to have more patches, especially kernel-level updates, live and online so that we can keep the business up and running during this period."
"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."
