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."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."
"I like Oracle VM's vMotion and cloning features."
"It provides enhancements for network and storage configuration, policy-based management for delivering application resource flexibility, and a GUI."
"It's quite stable."
"The stability is rock solid."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"The biggest advantage of Oracle VM is that you can separate your clusters to get your licenses agreement in scope."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"The pricing could be cheaper. It is very pricey."
"The only improvement needed for Oracle VM is the look and feel of the interface."
"Oracle's VM VirtualBox is a powerful, free, and open-source virtualization tool. However, you'll have to read a lot of documents and perform experiments in test environments to make it work for you."
"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."
"Integration with cloud products would be beneficial."
"Oracle VM needs to add a backup feature."
"I think more Command-Line options for the product, for deployments."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"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."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"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."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
