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."What I like best about this product is that it's free."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"The solution is very stable. I don't recall any bugs or glitches. It's reliable. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"Ability to patch with no downtime."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"Good visualization hypervisor."
"It is a stable product."
"Its technical support is quite good."
"The most valuable features of RHEV are all the tools, such as virtualization, management of cloud platforms, and integration of container environments. The solution has good compatibility between virtualization, content management, and cloud management. Having the full set of these tools is the advantage of it."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"It is very stable."
"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."
"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."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"The performance could be better because I need to purchase a lot of CPUs to perform in the workbench."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"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."
"Integration with cloud products would be beneficial."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"This solution is not as stable as other solutions in the market. But, Oracle has made an effort to improve these issues with recent updates."
"There are issues with the solution's stability since it crashes."
"The solution is an outdated Xen-based application."
"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."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"This solution could be more secure."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"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."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
