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."I like Oracle VM's vMotion and cloning features."
"VMware is user-friendly, with clear integration and detailed migration."
"It's a very flexible solution because you have all the commands that you can do yourself."
"The network capabilities are good."
"It's quite stable."
"In terms of server provisioning, it only takes a few clicks of a button and a bit of install automation."
"It is very useful for the project management of our company."
"The ability to live migrate VMs on the fly from one hypervisor to another has been very useful."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"Integrating with the internal system is not very easy."
"The solution needs more features and flexibility in terms of communicating with other platforms. If it had that, it would be the perfect product."
"The solution is an outdated Xen-based application."
"You need to have a model for documentation available for the users. Right now, if you have to search for some troubleshooting, you need to have Oracle login. Many personnel might not have that login. The reach, the availability of information to the end-user, is not there."
"There have been some security issues in the past."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"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."
"The pricing could be cheaper. It is very pricey."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
