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."What I like best about this product is that it's free."
"Cloning is the best feature in Oracle VM."
"I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"The stability is rock solid."
"The network capabilities are good."
"I like Oracle VM's vMotion and cloning features."
"The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"Oracle is probably the best database technology out there. I've never found anything as complete in terms of feature and functionality and sophistication."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"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 very stable."
"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 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."
"This solution is not as stable as other solutions in the market. But, Oracle has made an effort to improve these issues with recent updates."
"The configuration can be more flexible. It is a necessity."
"There have been some security issues in the past."
"The solution is at its end of life and is about to be discontinued."
"It was a complex setup. It was very difficult for me."
"There are currently issues with centralized storage."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"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 solution should be made more user-friendly."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
