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."We've noticed that when working with Citrix with our Oracle clients who also use Oracle Linux, the monitoring and testing is simpler and easier for us to do."
"The Foundation is the most valuable feature of Oracle VM."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"It provides enhancements for network and storage configuration, policy-based management for delivering application resource flexibility, and a GUI."
"The stability is rock solid."
"It is a stable product."
"It is highly esteemed for its ability to efficiently optimize and enhance the operational speed and responsiveness of virtualized environments."
"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."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"It is very stable."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"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."
"The usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"The performance could be better because I need to purchase a lot of CPUs to perform in the workbench."
"Oracle VM could provide integration with backup solutions."
"Oracle's VM VirtualBox is a powerful, free, and open-source virtualization tool. However, you'll have to read a lot of documents and perform experiments in test environments to make it work for you."
"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."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
"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."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
