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 stability of the product is fine."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Its technical support is quite good."
"It's easy to adjust the size up and down."
"I like Oracle VM's vMotion and cloning features."
"VMware is user-friendly, with clear integration and detailed migration."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"What I like best about this product is that it's free."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"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."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"The solution is stable."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"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."
"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."
"Integrating with the internal system is not very easy."
"There have been some security issues in the past."
"The tool's price and stability could be better."
"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."
"Incorporating analytics related to performance, particularly within the dashboard interface, would be beneficial."
"If you do a gap analysis between VMware and Oracle VM, you can't do VM Snapshot. That's one thing you can't do. It's a sort of a snapshot, but it's not really Snapshot technology. It requires that you're running on CFS-2."
"This solution could be more secure."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
