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 quite stable."
"Its technical support is quite good."
"It provides enhancements for network and storage configuration, policy-based management for delivering application resource flexibility, and a GUI."
"The solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"It is highly esteemed for its ability to efficiently optimize and enhance the operational speed and responsiveness of virtualized environments."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"I like Oracle VM's vMotion and cloning features."
"The stability of the product is fine."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"It is very stable."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"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 automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"There are currently issues with centralized storage."
"It was a complex setup. It was very difficult for me."
"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 VM could provide integration with backup solutions."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"The solution is an outdated Xen-based application."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"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."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"In comparison to VMware, this solution isn't as stable. We're testing it right now, and we're not trusting the stability of the product."
