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."The Foundation is the most valuable feature of Oracle VM."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Oracle VM is user-friendly and facilitates compliance with Oracle Licensing, a feature not provided by competitors like VMware or Hyper-V. Oracle prefers customers to use their technology. It is also easy to implement, clone, and deploy machines with Oracle VM, making it a convenient solution."
"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's easy to adjust the size up and down."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"Oracle VM needs to add a backup feature."
"Integration with cloud products would be beneficial."
"The solution is at its end of life and is about to be discontinued."
"I would like to be able to ship all of our logs. This feature could exist and I am just not aware of it."
"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 only improvement needed for Oracle VM is the look and feel of the interface."
"The solution needs more features and flexibility in terms of communicating with other platforms. If it had that, it would be the perfect product."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"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."
"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."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
