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 biggest advantage of Oracle VM is that you can separate your clusters to get your licenses agreement in scope."
"The solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"There's a lot of space to customize the solution if you need to."
"Cloning is the best feature in Oracle VM."
"The network capabilities are good."
"It's a very mature product."
"Oracle is probably the best database technology out there. I've never found anything as complete in terms of feature and functionality and sophistication."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"It is a scalable solution."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"It is very stable."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"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."
"It was a complex setup. It was very difficult for me."
"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."
"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."
"Its database management features could be better."
"The pricing could be cheaper. It is very pricey."
"Oracle VM should be more feature-rich."

"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"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."
"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."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"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."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
