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 support staff in the tech support team at Oracle has improved. I find them extremely helpful and they give very solid support."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"The ability to live migrate VMs on the fly from one hypervisor to another has been very useful."
"Its technical support is quite good."
"Because of the virtualization for Linux, I use just Linux basically in all VMs, a few with Windows."
"Cloning is the best feature in Oracle VM."
"The solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"The solution is stable."
"It is very stable."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"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."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"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 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."
"The solution is at its end of life and is about to be discontinued."
"The pricing could be cheaper. It is very pricey."
"Deployment should be simplified."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"The management can be improved more, and become more agile. It would be nice for it to become more rich in terms of UI. In addition, the replication to disaster recovery needs improvement."
"The usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"The tool's price and stability could be better."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"I heard that there are big differences between Red Hat eight and seven, but it's still quite difficult for me to judge it. I found it a bit more difficult to manage than version seven, which was much easier. In term of features, though, it is still not yet clear which is better. I have no clear idea of which features need to be changed at the moment."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"RHEV can improve by keeping pace with new features and new enhancements. They should not be halted or delayed innovation because over the past quarter the enhancements have not been as fast as they have been previously."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
