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."There's a lot of space to customize the solution if you need to."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Cloning is the best feature in Oracle VM."
"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."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"In terms of server provisioning, it only takes a few clicks of a button and a bit of install automation."
"I like Oracle VM's vMotion and cloning features."
"The ability to live migrate VMs on the fly from one hypervisor to another has been very useful."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"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 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."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"It's a scalable solution."
"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."
"The pricing could be cheaper. It is very pricey."
"Oracle VM needs to add a backup feature."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"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."
"We do have a little trepidation with systemd, as it does have a learning curve."
"Integration capabilities are a little complicated. It could be made easier. Whether integrating with Azure or other platforms or integration with OIC itself, the integration part is a little complicated."
"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."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"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."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"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."
