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 a very mature product."
"Virtualization platform that's easy to set up, and has good scalability and stability."
"It is a stable product."
"It's quite stable."
"Its ease of management and simplicity are most valuable. It is free, and you can provision an unlimited number of VMs at no cost for clients. They also provide perfect support."
"The solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"It provides enhancements for network and storage configuration, policy-based management for delivering application resource flexibility, and a GUI."
"It's a very flexible solution because you have all the commands that you can do yourself."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"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."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"There are currently issues with centralized storage."
"The only improvement needed for Oracle VM is the look and feel of the interface."
"Oracle VM could provide integration with backup solutions."
"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."
"The documentation for implementation could be improved because we were not able to find an easy way to implement our company's features due to a lack of understanding."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"The usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"The solution needs more features and flexibility in terms of communicating with other platforms. If it had that, it would be the perfect product."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"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."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"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."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
