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."Virtualization platform that's easy to set up, and has good scalability and stability."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"I like Oracle VM's vMotion and cloning features."
"We've noticed that when working with Citrix with our Oracle clients who also use Oracle Linux, the monitoring and testing is simpler and easier for us to do."
"It is highly esteemed for its ability to efficiently optimize and enhance the operational speed and responsiveness of virtualized environments."
"It provides enhancements for network and storage configuration, policy-based management for delivering application resource flexibility, and a GUI."
"There's a lot of space to customize the solution if you need to."
"Because of the virtualization for Linux, I use just Linux basically in all VMs, a few with Windows."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"It is very stable."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Productivity in Oracle VM could still be improved, and an additional feature to make the product better is compatibility with Kubernetes and other modern technologies."
"Deployment should be simplified."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"With our current OVM Manager version, migrating a VM from one repository to another repository was really complicated, especially editing and manually matching the configuration."
"Oracle VM should be more feature-rich."
"The management can be improved more, and become more agile. It would be nice for it to become more rich in terms of UI. In addition, the replication to disaster recovery needs improvement."
"There is no memory over-subscription and CPU over-subscription. That has to be improved in terms of Oracle VM perspective. The other leading virtualizing software solutions have this feature."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
"I heard that there are big differences between Red Hat eight and seven, but it's still quite difficult for me to judge it. I found it a bit more difficult to manage than version seven, which was much easier. In term of features, though, it is still not yet clear which is better. I have no clear idea of which features need to be changed at the moment."
"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."
