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 solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"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."
"Its technical support is quite good."
"Overall, the biggest performance is around virtualization and automation, you can build private clouds with Oracle VM using Enterprise Manager."
"The Foundation is the most valuable feature of Oracle VM."
"Oracle is probably the best database technology out there. I've never found anything as complete in terms of feature and functionality and sophistication."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"Virtualization platform that's easy to set up, and has good scalability and stability."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"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."
"The solution is stable."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"Deployment should be simplified."
"The solution is an outdated Xen-based application."
"The tool's price and stability could be better."
"There have been some security issues in the past."
"The usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"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 performance could be better because I need to purchase a lot of CPUs to perform in the workbench."
"Integrating with the internal system is not very easy."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."

"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"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."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
