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."The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"Virtualization platform that's easy to set up, and has good scalability and stability."
"The stability of the product is fine."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the resource management from the OVM Manager."
"The network capabilities are good."
"It is simple and straightforward, and it will only require you one system integrator to do the job."
"We've noticed that when working with Citrix with our Oracle clients who also use Oracle Linux, the monitoring and testing is simpler and easier for us to do."
"It is a scalable solution."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"It is very stable."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"It's a scalable solution."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"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."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"I think more Command-Line options for the product, for deployments."
"The pricing could be cheaper. It is very pricey."
"I've found that using Oracle VM is like stepping back in time. It's not kept up with technology. The only reason anyone uses it is that they're afraid of Oracle's licensing. Oracle has a tremendously bad licensing approach."
"I would like to be able to ship all of our logs. This feature could exist and I am just not aware of it."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"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."
"The tool's price and stability could be better."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"This solution could be more secure."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"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."
"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."
