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 network capabilities are good."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the resource management from the OVM Manager."
"The Foundation is the most valuable feature of Oracle VM."
"The biggest advantage of Oracle VM is that you can separate your clusters to get your licenses agreement in scope."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"It is very useful for the project management of our company."
"The ability to live migrate VMs on the fly from one hypervisor to another has been very useful."
"The solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"It is a scalable solution."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"It's a scalable solution."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward and well-documented. The process is very similar to its competitors. The success of your setup depends on how well you plan."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"The pricing could be cheaper. It is very pricey."
"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."
"I would say third-party plugins to other storage vendors. There are a lot of converged infrastructure setups; one that we have, multiple different hardware vendors. So that would be something we could definitely be looking for."
"Deployment should be simplified."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"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"The solution is an outdated Xen-based application."
"Integration with cloud products would be beneficial."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"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."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
