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 very stable. I don't recall any bugs or glitches. It's reliable. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"The stability is rock solid."
"Ability to patch with no downtime."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"I like Oracle VM's vMotion and cloning features."
"It's a very mature product."
"It is highly esteemed for its ability to efficiently optimize and enhance the operational speed and responsiveness of virtualized environments."
"It's quite stable."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"There is no memory over-subscription and CPU over-subscription. That has to be improved in terms of Oracle VM perspective. The other leading virtualizing software solutions have this feature."
"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."
"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."
"There are currently issues with centralized storage."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"Deployment should be simplified."
"Incorporating analytics related to performance, particularly within the dashboard interface, would be beneficial."
"Oracle VM needs to add a backup feature."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
