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."Because of the virtualization for Linux, I use just Linux basically in all VMs, a few with Windows."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"I like Oracle VM's vMotion and cloning features."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"It provides enhancements for network and storage configuration, policy-based management for delivering application resource flexibility, and a GUI."
"The support staff in the tech support team at Oracle has improved. I find them extremely helpful and they give very solid support."
"The Foundation is the most valuable feature of Oracle VM."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"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."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Its database management features could be better."
"I would say third-party plugins to other storage vendors. There are a lot of converged infrastructure setups; one that we have, multiple different hardware vendors. So that would be something we could definitely be looking for."
"The documentation for implementation could be improved because we were not able to find an easy way to implement our company's features due to a lack of understanding."
"Oracle VM should be more feature-rich."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"There are currently issues with centralized storage."
"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 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."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"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."
"It would be better to have more patches, especially kernel-level updates, live and online so that we can keep the business up and running during this period."
"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'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
