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."Because of the virtualization for Linux, I use just Linux basically in all VMs, a few with Windows."
"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."
"The stability is rock solid."
"It is very useful for the project management of our company."
"Oracle is probably the best database technology out there. I've never found anything as complete in terms of feature and functionality and sophistication."
"The virtualization product Oracle puts out just complements the performance of the database."
"What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"It is a scalable solution."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"It's a scalable solution."
"It doesn't monitor everything, which is a little bit more difficult. It doesn't seem to have as many features or metrics to monitor as some others do, so you have to make some homemade scripts to do it."
"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 should have centralized storage, without which you can't clone or move one VM to another."
"I think more Command-Line options for the product, for deployments."
"The solution is an outdated Xen-based application."
"Incorporating analytics related to performance, particularly within the dashboard interface, would be beneficial."
"The only improvement needed for Oracle VM is the look and feel of the interface."
"I would like to be able to ship all of our logs. This feature could exist and I am just not aware of it."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"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."
