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."We've noticed that when working with Citrix with our Oracle clients who also use Oracle Linux, the monitoring and testing is simpler and easier for us to do."
"The support staff in the tech support team at Oracle has improved. I find them extremely helpful and they give very solid support."
"Because of the virtualization for Linux, I use just Linux basically in all VMs, a few with Windows."
"The solution is very stable. I don't recall any bugs or glitches. It's reliable. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"The stability of the product is fine."
"The stability is rock solid."
"What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."
"Good visualization hypervisor."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"The configuration can be more flexible. It is a necessity."
"You need to have a model for documentation available for the users. Right now, if you have to search for some troubleshooting, you need to have Oracle login. Many personnel might not have that login. The reach, the availability of information to the end-user, is not there."
"Oracle VM needs to add a backup feature."
"The solution needs more features and flexibility in terms of communicating with other platforms. If it had that, it would be the perfect product."
"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."
"The performance could be better because I need to purchase a lot of CPUs to perform in the workbench."
"There are issues with the solution's stability since it crashes."
"Integration capabilities are a little complicated. It could be made easier. Whether integrating with Azure or other platforms or integration with OIC itself, the integration part is a little complicated."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"We hope that Red Hat can produce a paradigm edition. We are looking for paradigm computing and paradigm storage. Its scalability can be improved. It is not easy to scale, and we hope that Red Hat can provide a more scalable system. They should also provide local service and support. Our customers are looking for a good software vendor to provide professional services."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
"This solution could be more secure."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
