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."It's not a very expensive product."
"The Foundation is the most valuable feature of Oracle VM."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Cloning is the best feature in Oracle VM."
"It's easy to adjust the size up and down."
"The ability to live migrate VMs on the fly from one hypervisor to another has been very useful."
"Oracle is probably the best database technology out there. I've never found anything as complete in terms of feature and functionality and sophistication."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"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 solution is stable."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"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."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"It was a complex setup. It was very difficult for me."
"There are issues with the solution's stability since it crashes."
"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."
"The solution needs more features and flexibility in terms of communicating with other platforms. If it had that, it would be the perfect product."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"The documentation for implementation could be improved because we were not able to find an easy way to implement our company's features due to a lack of understanding."
"Its database management features could be better."
"Integration with cloud products would be beneficial."
"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."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
