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."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 biggest advantage of Oracle VM is that you can separate your clusters to get your licenses agreement in scope."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the resource management from the OVM Manager."
"The support staff in the tech support team at Oracle has improved. I find them extremely helpful and they give very solid support."
"The network capabilities are good."
"Good visualization hypervisor."
"The solution is very stable. I don't recall any bugs or glitches. It's reliable. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"The solution is stable."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"I think more Command-Line options for the product, for deployments."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"Its database management features could be better."
"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."
"One is the hypervisor. Right now, it’s all using Xen. What would be really helpful is to have some choice, and the underlying hypervisor technology use KVM which is very popular with certain workloads."
"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."
"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."
"Oracle VM needs to add a backup feature."
"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 solution could use network virtualization."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
