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."I like Oracle VM's vMotion and cloning features."
"It's not a very expensive product."
"VMware is user-friendly, with clear integration and detailed migration."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"It's a very flexible solution because you have all the commands that you can do yourself."
"It's easy to adjust the size up and down."
"What I like best about this product is that it's free."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"The solution is stable."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"It is a scalable solution."
"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."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"There are currently issues with centralized storage."
"The usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"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."
"The tool's price and stability could be better."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"The performance could be better because I need to purchase a lot of CPUs to perform in the workbench."
"Productivity in Oracle VM could still be improved, and an additional feature to make the product better is compatibility with Kubernetes and other modern technologies."
"Oracle VM should have centralized storage, without which you can't clone or move one VM to another."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"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."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
"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."
