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 stability is rock solid."
"I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"It's not a very expensive product."
"The stability of the product is fine."
"Virtualization platform that's easy to set up, and has good scalability and stability."
"It's quite stable."
"The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"It's a very flexible solution because you have all the commands that you can do yourself."
"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."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"Oracle VM needs to add a backup feature."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"It was a complex setup. It was very difficult for me."
"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."
"Productivity in Oracle VM could still be improved, and an additional feature to make the product better is compatibility with Kubernetes and other modern technologies."
"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."
"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."
"Integrating with the internal system is not very easy."
"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."
"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."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"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."
