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."Oracle is probably the best database technology out there. I've never found anything as complete in terms of feature and functionality and sophistication."
"Because of the virtualization for Linux, I use just Linux basically in all VMs, a few with Windows."
"What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."
"What I like best about this product is that it's free."
"It's easy to adjust the size up and down."
"It is very useful for the project management of our company."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"It's a very mature product."
"It's a scalable solution."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"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 usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"The only improvement needed for Oracle VM is the look and feel of the interface."
"Integration with cloud products would be beneficial."
"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."
"The solution is an outdated Xen-based application."
"I would say third-party plugins to other storage vendors. There are a lot of converged infrastructure setups; one that we have, multiple different hardware vendors. So that would be something we could definitely be looking for."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"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."
"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."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
