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."The product is simple and easy to use."
"I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"It's easy to adjust the size up and down."
"The virtualization product Oracle puts out just complements the performance of the database."
"It's a very flexible solution because you have all the commands that you can do yourself."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the resource management from the OVM Manager."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"The support staff in the tech support team at Oracle has improved. I find them extremely helpful and they give very solid support."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"The pricing could be cheaper. It is very pricey."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"Oracle VM could provide integration with backup solutions."
"The solution is at its end of life and is about to be discontinued."
"There have been some security issues in the past."
"The management can be improved more, and become more agile. It would be nice for it to become more rich in terms of UI. In addition, the replication to disaster recovery needs improvement."
"Something that could be improved are the snapshots that go in the ZFS Storage. If you want to enjoy Oracle VM, you will definitely want it to go together with ZFS Storage to maximize on the snapshot facility."
"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."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"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."
"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."
"This solution could be more secure."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
