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 solution is very stable. I don't recall any bugs or glitches. It's reliable. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"VMware is user-friendly, with clear integration and detailed migration."
"Ability to patch with no downtime."
"The Foundation is the most valuable feature of Oracle VM."
"The stability is rock solid."
"The solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"The ability to live migrate VMs on the fly from one hypervisor to another has been very useful."
"Virtualization platform that's easy to set up, and has good scalability and stability."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"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 feature of this solution is the support portal."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"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."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"Integrating with the internal system is not very easy."
"The pricing could be cheaper. It is very pricey."
"It doesn't monitor everything, which is a little bit more difficult. It doesn't seem to have as many features or metrics to monitor as some others do, so you have to make some homemade scripts to do it."
"I think more Command-Line options for the product, for deployments."
"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."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"I would like to be able to ship all of our logs. This feature could exist and I am just not aware of it."
"Oracle VM needs to add a backup feature."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"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 UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"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."
"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."
