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 biggest advantage of Oracle VM is that you can separate your clusters to get your licenses agreement in scope."
"The network capabilities are good."
"The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"Cloning is the best feature in Oracle VM."
"I like Oracle VM's vMotion and cloning features."
"The stability is rock solid."
"VMware is user-friendly, with clear integration and detailed migration."
"It provides enhancements for network and storage configuration, policy-based management for delivering application resource flexibility, and a GUI."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"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."
"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."
"We do have a little trepidation with systemd, as it does have a learning curve."
"Oracle's VM VirtualBox is a powerful, free, and open-source virtualization tool. However, you'll have to read a lot of documents and perform experiments in test environments to make it work for you."
"Its database management features could be better."
"The user interface of the version that we have requires improvement. They have already improved the user interface in the latest version, but we are yet to migrate to that. The new UI is much better. I would like it to be simple. It is serving all of our needs, and I don't think it is necessary to keep adding. We are able to provision a VM in ten minutes, and provisioning it in five minutes will not have any added benefit."
"Deployment should be simplified."
"If you do a gap analysis between VMware and Oracle VM, you can't do VM Snapshot. That's one thing you can't do. It's a sort of a snapshot, but it's not really Snapshot technology. It requires that you're running on CFS-2."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"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."
"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."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
