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."It's quite stable."
"Oracle is probably the best database technology out there. I've never found anything as complete in terms of feature and functionality and sophistication."
"I like Oracle VM's vMotion and cloning features."
"It's not a very expensive product."
"Cloning is the best feature in Oracle VM."
"I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"The support staff in the tech support team at Oracle has improved. I find them extremely helpful and they give very solid support."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"It is a scalable solution."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"It is very stable."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"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."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"Incorporating analytics related to performance, particularly within the dashboard interface, would be beneficial."
"One is the hypervisor. Right now, it’s all using Xen. What would be really helpful is to have some choice, and the underlying hypervisor technology use KVM which is very popular with certain workloads."
"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."
"It was a complex setup. It was very difficult for me."
"There are currently issues with centralized storage."
"The pricing could be cheaper. It is very pricey."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"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'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"It would be better to have more patches, especially kernel-level updates, live and online so that we can keep the business up and running during this period."
"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."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
