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 is simple and straightforward, and it will only require you one system integrator to do the job."
"It provides enhancements for network and storage configuration, policy-based management for delivering application resource flexibility, and a GUI."
"Its technical support is quite good."
"The stability of the product is fine."
"What I like best about this product is that it's free."
"It's a very flexible solution because you have all the commands that you can do yourself."
"The solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"The support staff in the tech support team at Oracle has improved. I find them extremely helpful and they give very solid support."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"It's a scalable solution."
"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."
"The performance could be better because I need to purchase a lot of CPUs to perform in the workbench."
"The only improvement needed for Oracle VM is the look and feel of the interface."
"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."
"You need to have a model for documentation available for the users. Right now, if you have to search for some troubleshooting, you need to have Oracle login. Many personnel might not have that login. The reach, the availability of information to the end-user, is not there."
"Integrating with the internal system is not very easy."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"I would like to be able to ship all of our logs. This feature could exist and I am just not aware of it."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"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."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"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."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"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."
