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."What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."
"The Foundation is the most valuable feature of Oracle VM."
"I like Oracle VM's vMotion and cloning features."
"It's not a very expensive product."
"The solution is very stable. I don't recall any bugs or glitches. It's reliable. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"The network capabilities are good."
"Overall, the biggest performance is around virtualization and automation, you can build private clouds with Oracle VM using Enterprise Manager."
"Cloning is the best feature in Oracle VM."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"It is very stable."
"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."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"The usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"The performance could be better because I need to purchase a lot of CPUs to perform in the workbench."
"The configuration can be more flexible. It is a necessity."
"This solution is not as stable as other solutions in the market. But, Oracle has made an effort to improve these issues with recent updates."
"Integration with cloud products would be beneficial."
"The only improvement needed for Oracle VM is the look and feel of the interface."
"This solution could be more secure."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"I heard that there are big differences between Red Hat eight and seven, but it's still quite difficult for me to judge it. I found it a bit more difficult to manage than version seven, which was much easier. In term of features, though, it is still not yet clear which is better. I have no clear idea of which features need to be changed at the moment."
"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."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"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."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
