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 easy to adjust the size up and down."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"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 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."
"It is a stable product."
"There's a lot of space to customize the solution if you need to."
"The solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"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."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"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."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"The solution is stable."
"It was a complex setup. It was very difficult for me."
"The tool's price and stability could be better."
"There are currently issues with centralized storage."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"Oracle VM could provide integration with backup solutions."
"Deployment should be simplified."
"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."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"RHEV can improve by keeping pace with new features and new enhancements. They should not be halted or delayed innovation because over the past quarter the enhancements have not been as fast as they have been previously."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
