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."What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."
"Virtualization platform that's easy to set up, and has good scalability and stability."
"The ability to live migrate VMs on the fly from one hypervisor to another has been very useful."
"The solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"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 very stable. I don't recall any bugs or glitches. It's reliable. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"It's quite stable."
"The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"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."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"The solution is stable."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"We do have a little trepidation with systemd, as it does have a learning curve."
"I would like to be able to ship all of our logs. This feature could exist and I am just not aware of it."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"The tool's price and stability could be better."
"It was a complex setup. It was very difficult for me."
"Oracle VM should have centralized storage, without which you can't clone or move one VM to another."
"I think more Command-Line options for the product, for deployments."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"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."
"The support is tricky in a few places. We're facing some challenges within Malaysia where we don't really have the system integrators available who can provide extended support. When we need personnel on-site, we can't get them."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
"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."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
