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 like Oracle VM's vMotion and cloning features."
"The support staff in the tech support team at Oracle has improved. I find them extremely helpful and they give very solid support."
"I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"Its technical support is quite good."
"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."
"The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"The ability to live migrate VMs on the fly from one hypervisor to another has been very useful."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"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."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"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 most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"It is a scalable solution."
"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."
"There have been some security issues in the past."
"The solution is at its end of life and is about to be discontinued."
"The configuration can be more flexible. It is a necessity."
"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."
"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."
"The usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"The documentation for implementation could be improved because we were not able to find an easy way to implement our company's features due to a lack of understanding."
"Incorporating analytics related to performance, particularly within the dashboard interface, would be beneficial."
"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."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"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."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
