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."
"It's quite stable."
"The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"Virtualization platform that's easy to set up, and has good scalability and stability."
"Its technical support is quite good."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the resource management from the OVM Manager."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"It's a very mature product."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"It's a scalable solution."
"It is a scalable solution."
"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."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"It was a complex setup. It was very difficult for me."
"The configuration can be more flexible. It is a necessity."
"There have been some security issues in the past."
"The solution is an outdated Xen-based application."
"Integration with cloud products would be beneficial."
"The solution is at its end of life and is about to be discontinued."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"When we do a direct comparison, then obviously VMware does better in terms of having Fault Tolerance and doing active disaster recovery and these kind of things. This is something that can be improved within Red Hat."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"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."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
