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 Foundation is the most valuable feature of Oracle VM."
"It is a stable product."
"The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"We've noticed that when working with Citrix with our Oracle clients who also use Oracle Linux, the monitoring and testing is simpler and easier for us to do."
"The ability to live migrate VMs on the fly from one hypervisor to another has been very useful."
"The biggest advantage of Oracle VM is that you can separate your clusters to get your licenses agreement in scope."
"The stability of the product is fine."
"It's easy to adjust the size up and down."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"It's a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"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."
"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."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"There have been some security issues in the past."
"Deployment should be simplified."
"The solution needs more features and flexibility in terms of communicating with other platforms. If it had that, it would be the perfect product."
"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."
"There are issues with the solution's stability since it crashes."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"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."
"We hope that Red Hat can produce a paradigm edition. We are looking for paradigm computing and paradigm storage. Its scalability can be improved. It is not easy to scale, and we hope that Red Hat can provide a more scalable system. They should also provide local service and support. Our customers are looking for a good software vendor to provide professional services."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"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."
