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."Virtualization platform that's easy to set up, and has good scalability and stability."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"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 most valuable aspect of the solution is the resource management from the OVM Manager."
"VMware is user-friendly, with clear integration and detailed migration."
"Good visualization hypervisor."
"It's a very mature product."
"The stability is rock solid."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"It's a scalable solution."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"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."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"It is very stable."
"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."
"We do have a little trepidation with systemd, as it does have a learning curve."
"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."
"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."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"There are issues with the solution's stability since it crashes."
"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."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"The support is tricky in a few places. We're facing some challenges within Malaysia where we don't really have the system integrators available who can provide extended support. When we need personnel on-site, we can't get them."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
