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 virtualization product Oracle puts out just complements the performance of the database."
"Its ease of management and simplicity are most valuable. It is free, and you can provision an unlimited number of VMs at no cost for clients. They also provide perfect support."
"Ability to patch with no downtime."
"What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."
"The biggest advantage of Oracle VM is that you can separate your clusters to get your licenses agreement in scope."
"It is highly esteemed for its ability to efficiently optimize and enhance the operational speed and responsiveness of virtualized environments."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It provides enhancements for network and storage configuration, policy-based management for delivering application resource flexibility, and a GUI."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"It is very stable."
"It's a scalable solution."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"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."
"The solution is stable."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"Its database management features could be better."
"There have been some security issues in the past."
"Integration with cloud products would be beneficial."
"Incorporating analytics related to performance, particularly within the dashboard interface, would be beneficial."
"It was a complex setup. It was very difficult for me."
"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."
"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."
"Oracle VM should be more feature-rich."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"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."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"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."
"We hope that Red Hat can produce a paradigm edition. We are looking for paradigm computing and paradigm storage. Its scalability can be improved. It is not easy to scale, and we hope that Red Hat can provide a more scalable system. They should also provide local service and support. Our customers are looking for a good software vendor to provide professional services."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
