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."Ability to patch with no downtime."
"Its technical support is quite good."
"Good visualization hypervisor."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"There's a lot of space to customize the solution if you need to."
"Because of the virtualization for Linux, I use just Linux basically in all VMs, a few with Windows."
"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."
"Overall, the biggest performance is around virtualization and automation, you can build private clouds with Oracle VM using Enterprise Manager."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"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."
"Customers are moving to open source and Red Hat is the leader in this particular space. I think customers feel more confident running Red Hat Virtualization than VMware."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"There have been some security issues in the past."
"Oracle VM should have centralized storage, without which you can't clone or move one VM to another."
"Oracle VM should be more feature-rich."
"There are currently issues with centralized storage."
"The solution is an outdated Xen-based application."
"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 usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"The solution is at its end of life and is about to be discontinued."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
"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 availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"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."
"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."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"This solution could be more secure."
