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."
"I like Oracle VM's vMotion and cloning features."
"Good visualization hypervisor."
"It's a very flexible solution because you have all the commands that you can do yourself."
"What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."
"It's not a very expensive product."
"It is a stable product."
"In terms of server provisioning, it only takes a few clicks of a button and a bit of install automation."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"The pricing could be cheaper. It is very pricey."
"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."
"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."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"We do have a little trepidation with systemd, as it does have a learning curve."
"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 documentation for implementation could be improved because we were not able to find an easy way to implement our company's features due to a lack of understanding."
"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."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
"It would be better to have more patches, especially kernel-level updates, live and online so that we can keep the business up and running during this period."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
