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."Overall, the biggest performance is around virtualization and automation, you can build private clouds with Oracle VM using Enterprise Manager."
"It is a stable product."
"The support staff in the tech support team at Oracle has improved. I find them extremely helpful and they give very solid support."
"What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."
"There's a lot of space to customize the solution if you need to."
"Oracle VM is user-friendly and facilitates compliance with Oracle Licensing, a feature not provided by competitors like VMware or Hyper-V. Oracle prefers customers to use their technology. It is also easy to implement, clone, and deploy machines with Oracle VM, making it a convenient solution."
"The biggest advantage of Oracle VM is that you can separate your clusters to get your licenses agreement in scope."
"Cloning is the best feature in Oracle VM."
"It is very stable."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"It's 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 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."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The performance could be better because I need to purchase a lot of CPUs to perform in the workbench."
"The pricing could be cheaper. It is very pricey."
"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."
"Integrating with the internal system is not very easy."
"The only improvement needed for Oracle VM is the look and feel of the interface."
"I would say third-party plugins to other storage vendors. There are a lot of converged infrastructure setups; one that we have, multiple different hardware vendors. So that would be something we could definitely be looking for."
"The solution is at its end of life and is about to be discontinued."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"This solution could be more secure."
"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."
"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."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
