"I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"It's not a very expensive product."
"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."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"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 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 solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Something that could be improved are the snapshots that go in the ZFS Storage. If you want to enjoy Oracle VM, you will definitely want it to go together with ZFS Storage to maximize on the snapshot facility."
"There are currently issues with centralized storage."
"Deployment should be simplified."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"Oracle VM should have centralized storage, without which you can't clone or move one VM to another."
"Oracle VM should be more feature-rich."
"Integrating with the internal system is not very easy."
"Oracle VM needs to add a backup feature."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"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."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
"This solution could be more secure."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
