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."VMware is user-friendly, with clear integration and detailed migration."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the resource management from the OVM Manager."
"The Foundation is the most valuable feature of Oracle VM."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"It's not a very expensive product."
"Its technical support is quite good."
"The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"It's a very mature product."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"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."
"It's a scalable solution."
"It is very stable."
"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."
"Deployment should be simplified."
"It was a complex setup. It was very difficult for me."
"I would like to be able to ship all of our logs. This feature could exist and I am just not aware of it."
"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."
"There are currently issues with centralized storage."
"Something that could be improved are the snapshots that go in the ZFS Storage. If you want to enjoy Oracle VM, you will definitely want it to go together with ZFS Storage to maximize on the snapshot facility."
"The performance could be better because I need to purchase a lot of CPUs to perform in the workbench."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
"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."
"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 availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
