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 ability to live migrate VMs on the fly from one hypervisor to another has been very useful."
"There's a lot of space to customize the solution if you need to."
"It's quite stable."
"It's easy to adjust the size up and down."
"Ability to patch with no downtime."
"Cloning is the best feature in Oracle VM."
"In terms of server provisioning, it only takes a few clicks of a button and a bit of install automation."
"It's a very mature product."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"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's a scalable solution."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"It is very stable."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"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."
"Oracle VM should have centralized storage, without which you can't clone or move one VM to another."
"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 performance could be better because I need to purchase a lot of CPUs to perform in the workbench."
"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 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."
"The solution is at its end of life and is about to be discontinued."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"It would be better to have more patches, especially kernel-level updates, live and online so that we can keep the business up and running during this period."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
