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's not a very expensive product."
"What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."
"I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"Cloning is the best feature in Oracle VM."
"The solution is very stable. I don't recall any bugs or glitches. It's reliable. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"It is very useful for the project management of our company."
"The ability to live migrate VMs on the fly from one hypervisor to another has been very useful."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the resource management from the OVM Manager."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"Customers are moving to open source and Red Hat is the leader in this particular space. I think customers feel more confident running Red Hat Virtualization than VMware."
"It is very stable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The solution is stable."
"Deployment should be simplified."

"Oracle VM should have centralized storage, without which you can't clone or move one VM to another."
"The usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"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."
"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."
