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 provides enhancements for network and storage configuration, policy-based management for delivering application resource flexibility, and a GUI."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"Good visualization hypervisor."
"The network capabilities are good."
"It is very useful for the project management of our company."
"In terms of server provisioning, it only takes a few clicks of a button and a bit of install automation."
"The ability to live migrate VMs on the fly from one hypervisor to another has been very useful."
"It is very stable."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"There are issues with the solution's stability since it crashes."
"I think more Command-Line options for the product, for deployments."
"The solution needs more features and flexibility in terms of communicating with other platforms. If it had that, it would be the perfect product."
"Oracle VM needs to add a backup feature."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"We do have a little trepidation with systemd, as it does have a learning curve."
"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."
"The configuration can be more flexible. It is a necessity."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
"This solution could be more secure."
"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."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
