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."Cloning is the best feature in Oracle VM."
"The stability is rock solid."
"The ability to live migrate VMs on the fly from one hypervisor to another has been very useful."
"The stability of the product is fine."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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's quite stable."
"It is very useful for the project management of our company."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It's a scalable solution."
"It is very stable."
"The solution is stable."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"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."
"We do have a little trepidation with systemd, as it does have a learning curve."
"Oracle VM needs to add a backup feature."
"Oracle VM should have centralized storage, without which you can't clone or move one VM to another."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"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."
"The performance could be better because I need to purchase a lot of CPUs to perform in the workbench."
"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."
"In comparison to VMware, this solution isn't as stable. We're testing it right now, and we're not trusting the stability of the product."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"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 biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"We hope that Red Hat can produce a paradigm edition. We are looking for paradigm computing and paradigm storage. Its scalability can be improved. It is not easy to scale, and we hope that Red Hat can provide a more scalable system. They should also provide local service and support. Our customers are looking for a good software vendor to provide professional services."
