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."I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"The stability is rock solid."
"There's a lot of space to customize the solution if you need to."
"Its technical support is quite good."
"The stability of the product is fine."
"The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"Good visualization hypervisor."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"It's a scalable solution."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward and well-documented. The process is very similar to its competitors. The success of your setup depends on how well you plan."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Integration with cloud products would be beneficial."
"The pricing could be cheaper. It is very pricey."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"Incorporating analytics related to performance, particularly within the dashboard interface, would be beneficial."
"One is the hypervisor. Right now, it’s all using Xen. What would be really helpful is to have some choice, and the underlying hypervisor technology use KVM which is very popular with certain workloads."
"Integrating with the internal system is not very easy."
"The solution needs more features and flexibility in terms of communicating with other platforms. If it had that, it would be the perfect product."
"I would say third-party plugins to other storage vendors. There are a lot of converged infrastructure setups; one that we have, multiple different hardware vendors. So that would be something we could definitely be looking for."
"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."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"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."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
