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."The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"I like Oracle VM's vMotion and cloning features."
"It is simple and straightforward, and it will only require you one system integrator to do the job."
"The biggest advantage of Oracle VM is that you can separate your clusters to get your licenses agreement in scope."
"Good visualization hypervisor."
"It is very useful for the project management of our company."
"Its technical support is quite good."
"The stability of the product is fine."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"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."
"It is very stable."
"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"The solution is an outdated Xen-based application."
"Integrating with the internal system is not very easy."
"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."
"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."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"The user interface of the version that we have requires improvement. They have already improved the user interface in the latest version, but we are yet to migrate to that. The new UI is much better. I would like it to be simple. It is serving all of our needs, and I don't think it is necessary to keep adding. We are able to provision a VM in ten minutes, and provisioning it in five minutes will not have any added benefit."
"Deployment should be simplified."
"I've found that using Oracle VM is like stepping back in time. It's not kept up with technology. The only reason anyone uses it is that they're afraid of Oracle's licensing. Oracle has a tremendously bad licensing approach."
"The support is tricky in a few places. We're facing some challenges within Malaysia where we don't really have the system integrators available who can provide extended support. When we need personnel on-site, we can't get them."
"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."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
