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."
"There's a lot of space to customize the solution if you need to."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"The network capabilities are good."
"Good visualization hypervisor."
"The stability is rock solid."
"It's easy to adjust the size up and down."
"The solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It is very stable."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"The only improvement needed for Oracle VM is the look and feel of the interface."
"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."
"There have been some security issues in the past."
"The pricing could be cheaper. It is very pricey."
"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."
"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."
"Its database management features could be better."
"The usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"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."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
"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."
"It would be better to have more patches, especially kernel-level updates, live and online so that we can keep the business up and running during this period."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
