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 network capabilities are good."
"It's easy to adjust the size up and down."
"The virtualization product Oracle puts out just complements the performance of the database."
"I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"It's not a very expensive product."
"It's quite stable."
"The stability of the product is fine."
"There's a lot of space to customize the solution if you need to."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"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."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"The solution is at its end of life and is about to be discontinued."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"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."
"Productivity in Oracle VM could still be improved, and an additional feature to make the product better is compatibility with Kubernetes and other modern technologies."
"We do have a little trepidation with systemd, as it does have a learning curve."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"This solution is not as stable as other solutions in the market. But, Oracle has made an effort to improve these issues with recent updates."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"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."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"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."
"In comparison to VMware, this solution isn't as stable. We're testing it right now, and we're not trusting the stability of the product."
"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."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
