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."VMware is user-friendly, with clear integration and detailed migration."
"The stability is rock solid."
"It's not a very expensive product."
"There's a lot of space to customize the solution if you need to."
"Oracle VM is user-friendly and facilitates compliance with Oracle Licensing, a feature not provided by competitors like VMware or Hyper-V. Oracle prefers customers to use their technology. It is also easy to implement, clone, and deploy machines with Oracle VM, making it a convenient solution."
"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."
"Its ease of management and simplicity are most valuable. It is free, and you can provision an unlimited number of VMs at no cost for clients. They also provide perfect support."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"It's a scalable solution."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"It is very stable."
"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 like to be able to ship all of our logs. This feature could exist and I am just not aware of it."
"There are issues with the solution's stability since it crashes."
"There have been some security issues in the past."
"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 could provide integration with backup solutions."
"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."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"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."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"This solution could be more secure."
"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 biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
