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 solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"The network capabilities are good."
"We've noticed that when working with Citrix with our Oracle clients who also use Oracle Linux, the monitoring and testing is simpler and easier for us to do."
"Its technical support is quite good."
"I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"Cloning is the best feature in Oracle VM."
"It's not a very expensive product."
"It is a scalable solution."
"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."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"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."
"It is very stable."
"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."
"Integrating with the internal system is not very easy."
"There are issues with the solution's stability since it crashes."
"Oracle VM should have centralized storage, without which you can't clone or move one VM to another."
"Deployment should be simplified."
"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."
"With our current OVM Manager version, migrating a VM from one repository to another repository was really complicated, especially editing and manually matching the configuration."
"The configuration can be more flexible. It is a necessity."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"The support is tricky in a few places. We're facing some challenges within Malaysia where we don't really have the system integrators available who can provide extended support. When we need personnel on-site, we can't get them."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
