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."VMware is user-friendly, with clear integration and detailed migration."
"The ability to live migrate VMs on the fly from one hypervisor to another has been very useful."
"The Foundation is the most valuable feature of Oracle VM."
"The stability of the product is fine."
"I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"It is a stable product."
"The solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"It's a scalable solution."
"It is a scalable solution."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"The solution is stable."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"It is very stable."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"Integrating with the internal system is not very easy."
"The performance could be better because I need to purchase a lot of CPUs to perform in the workbench."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"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."
"There is no memory over-subscription and CPU over-subscription. That has to be improved in terms of Oracle VM perspective. The other leading virtualizing software solutions have this feature."
"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."
"Integration with cloud products would be beneficial."
"The only improvement needed for Oracle VM is the look and feel of the interface."
"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."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"When we do a direct comparison, then obviously VMware does better in terms of having Fault Tolerance and doing active disaster recovery and these kind of things. This is something that can be improved within Red Hat."
