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 cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"It provides enhancements for network and storage configuration, policy-based management for delivering application resource flexibility, and a GUI."
"Because of the virtualization for Linux, I use just Linux basically in all VMs, a few with Windows."
"It's a very mature product."
"It is very useful for the project management of our company."
"It's easy to adjust the size up and down."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"The solution is stable."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"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."
"It's a scalable solution."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"The usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"Oracle VM could provide integration with backup solutions."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"Its database management features could be better."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"There is no memory over-subscription and CPU over-subscription. That has to be improved in terms of Oracle VM perspective. The other leading virtualizing software solutions have this feature."
"The solution is an outdated Xen-based application."
"This solution could be more secure."
"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."
"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."
"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 solution has a very small lifecycle."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"I heard that there are big differences between Red Hat eight and seven, but it's still quite difficult for me to judge it. I found it a bit more difficult to manage than version seven, which was much easier. In term of features, though, it is still not yet clear which is better. I have no clear idea of which features need to be changed at the moment."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
