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."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution is very stable. I don't recall any bugs or glitches. It's reliable. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"The solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"We've noticed that when working with Citrix with our Oracle clients who also use Oracle Linux, the monitoring and testing is simpler and easier for us to do."
"What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"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."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"It's a scalable solution."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"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 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."
"Its database management features could be better."
"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."
"Deployment should be simplified."
"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."
"I would like to be able to ship all of our logs. This feature could exist and I am just not aware of it."
"The performance could be better because I need to purchase a lot of CPUs to perform in the workbench."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"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."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
