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 very useful for the project management of our company."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"The solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Oracle is probably the best database technology out there. I've never found anything as complete in terms of feature and functionality and sophistication."
"The Foundation is the most valuable feature of Oracle VM."
"In terms of server provisioning, it only takes a few clicks of a button and a bit of install automation."
"There's a lot of space to customize the solution if you need to."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"The solution is stable."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"The most valuable features of RHEV are all the tools, such as virtualization, management of cloud platforms, and integration of container environments. The solution has good compatibility between virtualization, content management, and cloud management. Having the full set of these tools is the advantage of it."
"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 a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The configuration can be more flexible. It is a necessity."
"I would like to be able to ship all of our logs. This feature could exist and I am just not aware of it."
"The performance could be better because I need to purchase a lot of CPUs to perform in the workbench."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"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."
"With our current OVM Manager version, migrating a VM from one repository to another repository was really complicated, especially editing and manually matching the configuration."
"The tool's price and stability could be better."
"The user interface of the version that we have requires improvement. They have already improved the user interface in the latest version, but we are yet to migrate to that. The new UI is much better. I would like it to be simple. It is serving all of our needs, and I don't think it is necessary to keep adding. We are able to provision a VM in ten minutes, and provisioning it in five minutes will not have any added benefit."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"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 should be made more user-friendly."
"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."
"The support is tricky in a few places. We're facing some challenges within Malaysia where we don't really have the system integrators available who can provide extended support. When we need personnel on-site, we can't get them."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
