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."Oracle is probably the best database technology out there. I've never found anything as complete in terms of feature and functionality and sophistication."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It is a stable product."
"The network capabilities are good."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"Good visualization hypervisor."
"VMware is user-friendly, with clear integration and detailed migration."
"The virtualization product Oracle puts out just complements the performance of the database."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"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."
"Oracle VM needs to add a backup feature."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"The user interface of the version that we have requires improvement. They have already improved the user interface in the latest version, but we are yet to migrate to that. The new UI is much better. I would like it to be simple. It is serving all of our needs, and I don't think it is necessary to keep adding. We are able to provision a VM in ten minutes, and provisioning it in five minutes will not have any added benefit."
"Oracle's VM VirtualBox is a powerful, free, and open-source virtualization tool. However, you'll have to read a lot of documents and perform experiments in test environments to make it work for you."
"The solution needs more features and flexibility in terms of communicating with other platforms. If it had that, it would be the perfect product."
"The configuration can be more flexible. It is a necessity."
"Its database management features could be better."
"Oracle VM should be more feature-rich."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"We hope that Red Hat can produce a paradigm edition. We are looking for paradigm computing and paradigm storage. Its scalability can be improved. It is not easy to scale, and we hope that Red Hat can provide a more scalable system. They should also provide local service and support. Our customers are looking for a good software vendor to provide professional services."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"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."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
