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."It is a stable product."
"It's easy to adjust the size up and down."
"I like Oracle VM's vMotion and cloning features."
"The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"If you want to access the VM from anywhere over the Internet, you put it in a public subnet. So, VMs are linked to that. The subnets are linked to it. So, it's perfectly secured if it's a private network. The security is set."
"The solution is very stable. I don't recall any bugs or glitches. It's reliable. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"The Foundation is the most valuable feature of Oracle VM."
"It provides enhancements for network and storage configuration, policy-based management for delivering application resource flexibility, and a GUI."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"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's a scalable solution."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"Integration with cloud products would be beneficial."
"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."
"We do have a little trepidation with systemd, as it does have a learning curve."
"The only improvement needed for Oracle VM is the look and feel of the interface."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"It doesn't monitor everything, which is a little bit more difficult. It doesn't seem to have as many features or metrics to monitor as some others do, so you have to make some homemade scripts to do it."
"Integration capabilities are a little complicated. It could be made easier. Whether integrating with Azure or other platforms or integration with OIC itself, the integration part is a little complicated."
"The solution needs more features and flexibility in terms of communicating with other platforms. If it had that, it would be the perfect product."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"RHEV can improve by keeping pace with new features and new enhancements. They should not be halted or delayed innovation because over the past quarter the enhancements have not been as fast as they have been previously."
"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."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
"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 Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
