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."It is highly esteemed for its ability to efficiently optimize and enhance the operational speed and responsiveness of virtualized environments."
"It is simple and straightforward, and it will only require you one system integrator to do the job."
"There's a lot of space to customize the solution if you need to."
"Its technical support is quite good."
"Ability to patch with no downtime."
"The ability to live migrate VMs on the fly from one hypervisor to another has been very useful."
"What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."
"Good visualization hypervisor."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"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."
"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 performance could be better because I need to purchase a lot of CPUs to perform in the workbench."
"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."
"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."
"I think more Command-Line options for the product, for deployments."
"Incorporating analytics related to performance, particularly within the dashboard interface, would be beneficial."
"Oracle VM should be more feature-rich."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"When we do a direct comparison, then obviously VMware does better in terms of having Fault Tolerance and doing active disaster recovery and these kind of things. This is something that can be improved within Red Hat."
