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."There's a lot of space to customize the solution if you need to."
"The biggest advantage of Oracle VM is that you can separate your clusters to get your licenses agreement in scope."
"It's easy to adjust the size up and down."
"It's not a very expensive product."
"It is highly esteemed for its ability to efficiently optimize and enhance the operational speed and responsiveness of virtualized environments."
"It is a stable product."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"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."
"It is very stable."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"Oracle VM should be more feature-rich."
"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 usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"The pricing could be cheaper. It is very pricey."
"Oracle VM should have centralized storage, without which you can't clone or move one VM to another."
"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."
"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."
"I think more Command-Line options for the product, for deployments."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"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."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"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."
