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."Cloning is the best feature in Oracle VM."
"It's not a very expensive product."
"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."
"I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"Its technical support is quite good."
"It is a stable product."
"The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"Good visualization hypervisor."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"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."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"It is very stable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"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 should have centralized storage, without which you can't clone or move one VM to another."
"Oracle VM should be more feature-rich."
"We do have a little trepidation with systemd, as it does have a learning curve."
"Incorporating analytics related to performance, particularly within the dashboard interface, would be beneficial."
"I think more Command-Line options for the product, for deployments."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"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 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 biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
