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 support staff in the tech support team at Oracle has improved. I find them extremely helpful and they give very solid support."
"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 ability to live migrate VMs on the fly from one hypervisor to another has been very useful."
"It is very useful for the project management of our company."
"Its technical support is quite good."
"Virtualization platform that's easy to set up, and has good scalability and stability."
"Good visualization hypervisor."
"The Foundation is the most valuable feature of Oracle VM."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"It's a scalable solution."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"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."
"The usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"Something that could be improved are the snapshots that go in the ZFS Storage. If you want to enjoy Oracle VM, you will definitely want it to go together with ZFS Storage to maximize on the snapshot facility."
"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."
"You need to have a model for documentation available for the users. Right now, if you have to search for some troubleshooting, you need to have Oracle login. Many personnel might not have that login. The reach, the availability of information to the end-user, is not there."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"RHEV can improve by keeping pace with new features and new enhancements. They should not be halted or delayed innovation because over the past quarter the enhancements have not been as fast as they have been previously."
"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."
