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's a very mature product."
"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 solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"What I like best about this product is that it's free."
"It is a stable product."
"The biggest advantage of Oracle VM is that you can separate your clusters to get your licenses agreement in scope."
"The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"It is highly esteemed for its ability to efficiently optimize and enhance the operational speed and responsiveness of virtualized environments."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"The most valuable features of RHEV are all the tools, such as virtualization, management of cloud platforms, and integration of container environments. The solution has good compatibility between virtualization, content management, and cloud management. Having the full set of these tools is the advantage of it."
"The solution is stable."
"It's a scalable solution."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"It is very stable."
"The documentation for implementation could be improved because we were not able to find an easy way to implement our company's features due to a lack of understanding."
"Integration with cloud products would be beneficial."
"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."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"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."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"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."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
