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."It's easy to adjust the size up and down."
"Virtualization platform that's easy to set up, and has good scalability and stability."
"I like Oracle VM's vMotion and cloning features."
"There's a lot of space to customize the solution if you need to."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"It's a very flexible solution because you have all the commands that you can do yourself."
"It's quite stable."
"VMware is user-friendly, with clear integration and detailed migration."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"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 solution makes migration easy."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"I would like to be able to ship all of our logs. This feature could exist and I am just not aware of it."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Oracle's VM VirtualBox is a powerful, free, and open-source virtualization tool. However, you'll have to read a lot of documents and perform experiments in test environments to make it work for you."
"There have been some security issues in the past."
"Integrating with the internal system is not very easy."
"Oracle VM should be more feature-rich."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
"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."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"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 UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"This solution could be more secure."
