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 solution is very stable. I don't recall any bugs or glitches. It's reliable. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"Cloning is the best feature in Oracle VM."
"It is highly esteemed for its ability to efficiently optimize and enhance the operational speed and responsiveness of virtualized environments."
"The stability is rock solid."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Its ease of management and simplicity are most valuable. It is free, and you can provision an unlimited number of VMs at no cost for clients. They also provide perfect support."
"It's quite stable."
"It's a very mature product."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"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 tool's price and stability could be better."
"Its database management features could be better."
"Oracle VM should have centralized storage, without which you can't clone or move one VM to another."
"The pricing could be cheaper. It is very pricey."
"Incorporating analytics related to performance, particularly within the dashboard interface, would be beneficial."
"There is no memory over-subscription and CPU over-subscription. That has to be improved in terms of Oracle VM perspective. The other leading virtualizing software solutions have this feature."
"Something that could be improved are the snapshots that go in the ZFS Storage. If you want to enjoy Oracle VM, you will definitely want it to go together with ZFS Storage to maximize on the snapshot facility."
"The solution needs more features and flexibility in terms of communicating with other platforms. If it had that, it would be the perfect product."
"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."
"This solution could be more secure."
"The solution should be made 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."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
"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."
