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."Good visualization hypervisor."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"It is a scalable solution."
"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 most valuable aspect of the solution is the resource management from the OVM Manager."
"Oracle is probably the best database technology out there. I've never found anything as complete in terms of feature and functionality and sophistication."
"The Foundation is the most valuable feature of Oracle VM."
"Its ease of management and simplicity are most valuable. It is free, and you can provision an unlimited number of VMs at no cost for clients. They also provide perfect support."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"The tool's price and stability could be better."
"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."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"Oracle VM should be more feature-rich."
"Oracle VM could provide integration with backup solutions."
"The solution is an outdated Xen-based application."
"Deployment should be simplified."
"If you do a gap analysis between VMware and Oracle VM, you can't do VM Snapshot. That's one thing you can't do. It's a sort of a snapshot, but it's not really Snapshot technology. It requires that you're running on CFS-2."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
"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."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
