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."I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"The stability is rock solid."
"It's quite stable."
"The Foundation is the most valuable feature of Oracle VM."
"The biggest advantage of Oracle VM is that you can separate your clusters to get your licenses agreement in scope."
"I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"Cloning is the best feature in Oracle VM."
"It's a very flexible solution because you have all the commands that you can do yourself."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"It's a scalable solution."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"It is very stable."
"Oracle VM could provide integration with backup solutions."
"The pricing could be cheaper. It is very pricey."
"It doesn't monitor everything, which is a little bit more difficult. It doesn't seem to have as many features or metrics to monitor as some others do, so you have to make some homemade scripts to do it."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"We do have a little trepidation with systemd, as it does have a learning curve."
"If you do a gap analysis between VMware and Oracle VM, you can't do VM Snapshot. That's one thing you can't do. It's a sort of a snapshot, but it's not really Snapshot technology. It requires that you're running on CFS-2."
"There are currently issues with centralized storage."
"I've found that using Oracle VM is like stepping back in time. It's not kept up with technology. The only reason anyone uses it is that they're afraid of Oracle's licensing. Oracle has a tremendously bad licensing approach."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"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."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
