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 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."
"The stability is rock solid."
"It's quite stable."
"VMware is user-friendly, with clear integration and detailed migration."
"It is a stable product."
"Good visualization hypervisor."
"It's a very flexible solution because you have all the commands that you can do yourself."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"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."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"The solution is stable."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward and well-documented. The process is very similar to its competitors. The success of your setup depends on how well you plan."
"We do have a little trepidation with systemd, as it does have a learning curve."
"The only improvement needed for Oracle VM is the look and feel of the interface."
"The solution is at its end of life and is about to be discontinued."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"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 usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"I've found that using Oracle VM is like stepping back in time. It's not kept up with technology. The only reason anyone uses it is that they're afraid of Oracle's licensing. Oracle has a tremendously bad licensing approach."
"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."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"RHEV can improve by keeping pace with new features and new enhancements. They should not be halted or delayed innovation because over the past quarter the enhancements have not been as fast as they have been previously."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"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."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
