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."I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"VMware is user-friendly, with clear integration and detailed migration."
"It's easy to adjust the size up and down."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"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 highly esteemed for its ability to efficiently optimize and enhance the operational speed and responsiveness of virtualized environments."
"It is a stable product."
"I like Oracle VM's vMotion and cloning features."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"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."
"It's a scalable solution."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"If you do a gap analysis between VMware and Oracle VM, you can't do VM Snapshot. That's one thing you can't do. It's a sort of a snapshot, but it's not really Snapshot technology. It requires that you're running on CFS-2."
"I think more Command-Line options for the product, for deployments."
"Oracle VM should be more feature-rich."
"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 management can be improved more, and become more agile. It would be nice for it to become more rich in terms of UI. In addition, the replication to disaster recovery needs improvement."
"The solution is an outdated Xen-based application."
"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."
"This solution could be more secure."
"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."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"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."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"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 solution has a very small lifecycle."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
