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 virtualization product Oracle puts out just complements the performance of the database."
"I like Oracle VM's vMotion and cloning features."
"VMware is user-friendly, with clear integration and detailed migration."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The support staff in the tech support team at Oracle has improved. I find them extremely helpful and they give very solid support."
"It is simple and straightforward, and it will only require you one system integrator to do the job."
"Ability to patch with no downtime."
"The network capabilities are good."
"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."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"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."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"Deployment should be simplified."
"The performance could be better because I need to purchase a lot of CPUs to perform in the workbench."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"The solution is an outdated Xen-based application."
"The solution needs more features and flexibility in terms of communicating with other platforms. If it had that, it would be the perfect product."
"The solution is at its end of life and is about to be discontinued."
"There are issues with the solution's stability since it crashes."
"I would like to be able to ship all of our logs. This feature could exist and I am just not aware of it."
"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."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
"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."
