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 solution is very stable. I don't recall any bugs or glitches. It's reliable. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"Because of the virtualization for Linux, I use just Linux basically in all VMs, a few with Windows."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It is simple and straightforward, and it will only require you one system integrator to do the job."
"The ability to live migrate VMs on the fly from one hypervisor to another has been very useful."
"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 highly esteemed for its ability to efficiently optimize and enhance the operational speed and responsiveness of virtualized environments."
"VMware is user-friendly, with clear integration and detailed migration."
"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 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 a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"It's a scalable solution."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"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."
"Oracle VM should have centralized storage, without which you can't clone or move one VM to another."
"Oracle VM could provide integration with backup solutions."
"It doesn't monitor everything, which is a little bit more difficult. It doesn't seem to have as many features or metrics to monitor as some others do, so you have to make some homemade scripts to do it."
"Deployment should be simplified."
"The usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"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."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"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 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."
