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 cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"It's not a very expensive product."
"The solution is very stable. I don't recall any bugs or glitches. It's reliable. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"The network capabilities are good."
"Because of the virtualization for Linux, I use just Linux basically in all VMs, a few with Windows."
"I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"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."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"Oracle VM needs to add a backup feature."
"The tool's price and stability could be better."
"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."
"Deployment should be simplified."
"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."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"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."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"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."
"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."
"In comparison to VMware, this solution isn't as stable. We're testing it right now, and we're not trusting the stability of the product."
"This solution could be more secure."
