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."The solution is very stable. I don't recall any bugs or glitches. It's reliable. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"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."
"What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."
"It's a very flexible solution because you have all the commands that you can do yourself."
"It is very useful for the project management of our company."
"What I like best about this product is that it's free."
"Good visualization hypervisor."
"The stability is rock solid."
"It's a scalable solution."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward and well-documented. The process is very similar to its competitors. The success of your setup depends on how well you plan."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"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."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"The management can be improved more, and become more agile. It would be nice for it to become more rich in terms of UI. In addition, the replication to disaster recovery needs improvement."
"The only improvement needed for Oracle VM is the look and feel of the interface."
"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."
"Incorporating analytics related to performance, particularly within the dashboard interface, would be beneficial."
"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."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"The tool's price and stability could be better."
"We do have a little trepidation with systemd, as it does have a learning curve."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"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."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"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."
