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."It's a very flexible solution because you have all the commands that you can do yourself."
"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."
"Overall, the biggest performance is around virtualization and automation, you can build private clouds with Oracle VM using Enterprise Manager."
"The virtualization product Oracle puts out just complements the performance of the database."
"The stability is rock solid."
"What I like best about this product is that it's free."
"It's easy to adjust the size up and down."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"It is very stable."
"The most valuable features of RHEV are all the tools, such as virtualization, management of cloud platforms, and integration of container environments. The solution has good compatibility between virtualization, content management, and cloud management. Having the full set of these tools is the advantage of it."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"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 easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"There have been some security issues in the past."
"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."
"The performance could be better because I need to purchase a lot of CPUs to perform in the workbench."
"Oracle VM should have centralized storage, without which you can't clone or move one VM to another."
"Oracle VM could provide integration with backup solutions."
"I would like to be able to ship all of our logs. This feature could exist and I am just not aware of it."
"Productivity in Oracle VM could still be improved, and an additional feature to make the product better is compatibility with Kubernetes and other modern technologies."
"It was a complex setup. It was very difficult for me."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
"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."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"This solution could be more secure."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
