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 Foundation is the most valuable feature of Oracle VM."
"The support staff in the tech support team at Oracle has improved. I find them extremely helpful and they give very solid support."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"It's not a very expensive product."
"It's easy to adjust the size up and down."
"The stability of the product is fine."
"The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"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."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"It's a scalable solution."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"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."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"Oracle VM needs to add a backup feature."
"The solution needs more features and flexibility in terms of communicating with other platforms. If it had that, it would be the perfect product."
"Incorporating analytics related to performance, particularly within the dashboard interface, would be beneficial."
"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."
"With our current OVM Manager version, migrating a VM from one repository to another repository was really complicated, especially editing and manually matching the configuration."
"Oracle VM should have centralized storage, without which you can't clone or move one VM to another."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"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."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"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."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
