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."Oracle VM is user-friendly and facilitates compliance with Oracle Licensing, a feature not provided by competitors like VMware or Hyper-V. Oracle prefers customers to use their technology. It is also easy to implement, clone, and deploy machines with Oracle VM, making it a convenient solution."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"Cloning is the best feature in Oracle VM."
"It's a very mature product."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"Virtualization platform that's easy to set up, and has good scalability and stability."
"The biggest advantage of Oracle VM is that you can separate your clusters to get your licenses agreement in scope."
"It's easy to adjust the size up and down."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"It is a scalable solution."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"Oracle VM should have centralized storage, without which you can't clone or move one VM to another."
"We do have a little trepidation with systemd, as it does have a learning curve."
"Productivity in Oracle VM could still be improved, and an additional feature to make the product better is compatibility with Kubernetes and other modern technologies."
"The solution is an outdated Xen-based application."
"With our current OVM Manager version, migrating a VM from one repository to another repository was really complicated, especially editing and manually matching the configuration."
"Integrating with the internal system is not very easy."
"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."
"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."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"The support is tricky in a few places. We're facing some challenges within Malaysia where we don't really have the system integrators available who can provide extended support. When we need personnel on-site, we can't get them."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
