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 solution is very stable. I don't recall any bugs or glitches. It's reliable. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"It provides enhancements for network and storage configuration, policy-based management for delivering application resource flexibility, and a GUI."
"What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."
"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 virtualization product Oracle puts out just complements the performance of the database."
"The stability is rock solid."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"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 a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward and well-documented. The process is very similar to its competitors. The success of your setup depends on how well you plan."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"I think more Command-Line options for the product, for deployments."
"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 only improvement needed for Oracle VM is the look and feel of the interface."
"Incorporating analytics related to performance, particularly within the dashboard interface, would be beneficial."
"There have been some security issues in the past."
"There is no memory over-subscription and CPU over-subscription. That has to be improved in terms of Oracle VM perspective. The other leading virtualizing software solutions have this feature."
"The performance could be better because I need to purchase a lot of CPUs to perform in the workbench."
"The tool's price and stability could be better."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"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'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"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."
"When we do a direct comparison, then obviously VMware does better in terms of having Fault Tolerance and doing active disaster recovery and these kind of things. This is something that can be improved within Red Hat."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
