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 ability to live migrate VMs on the fly from one hypervisor to another has been very useful."
"Virtualization platform that's easy to set up, and has good scalability and stability."
"It is highly esteemed for its ability to efficiently optimize and enhance the operational speed and responsiveness of virtualized environments."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"There's a lot of space to customize the solution if you need to."
"I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"Its ease of management and simplicity are most valuable. It is free, and you can provision an unlimited number of VMs at no cost for clients. They also provide perfect support."
"The stability of the product is fine."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"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."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"It is very stable."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"The performance could be better because I need to purchase a lot of CPUs to perform in the workbench."
"The solution needs more features and flexibility in terms of communicating with other platforms. If it had that, it would be the perfect product."
"The tool's price and stability could be better."
"I would like to be able to ship all of our logs. This feature could exist and I am just not aware of it."
"There are currently issues with centralized storage."
"Its database management features could be better."
"Something that could be improved are the snapshots that go in the ZFS Storage. If you want to enjoy Oracle VM, you will definitely want it to go together with ZFS Storage to maximize on the snapshot facility."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"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."
"This solution could be more secure."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"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."
