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 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."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Its technical support is quite good."
"VMware is user-friendly, with clear integration and detailed migration."
"It is highly esteemed for its ability to efficiently optimize and enhance the operational speed and responsiveness of virtualized environments."
"Oracle VM is user-friendly and facilitates compliance with Oracle Licensing, a feature not provided by competitors like VMware or Hyper-V. Oracle prefers customers to use their technology. It is also easy to implement, clone, and deploy machines with Oracle VM, making it a convenient solution."
"It is very useful for the project management of our company."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"The solution is stable."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"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."
"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 most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"There are currently issues with centralized storage."
"Oracle VM could provide integration with backup solutions."
"The only improvement needed for Oracle VM is the look and feel of the interface."
"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."
"Deployment should be simplified."
"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."
"The usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"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."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"We hope that Red Hat can produce a paradigm edition. We are looking for paradigm computing and paradigm storage. Its scalability can be improved. It is not easy to scale, and we hope that Red Hat can provide a more scalable system. They should also provide local service and support. Our customers are looking for a good software vendor to provide professional services."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
