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."Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Oracle is probably the best database technology out there. I've never found anything as complete in terms of feature and functionality and sophistication."
"Virtualization platform that's easy to set up, and has good scalability and stability."
"VMware is user-friendly, with clear integration and detailed migration."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."
"I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"It's a scalable solution."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"It is a scalable solution."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"Deployment should be simplified."
"Incorporating analytics related to performance, particularly within the dashboard interface, would be beneficial."
"Integrating with the internal system is not very easy."
"The solution needs more features and flexibility in terms of communicating with other platforms. If it had that, it would be the perfect product."
"If you do a gap analysis between VMware and Oracle VM, you can't do VM Snapshot. That's one thing you can't do. It's a sort of a snapshot, but it's not really Snapshot technology. It requires that you're running on CFS-2."
"The usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"Its database management features 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."
"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."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"This solution could be more secure."
"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."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
