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."
"The support staff in the tech support team at Oracle has improved. I find them extremely helpful and they give very solid support."
"What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."
"The stability of the product is fine."
"The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the resource management from the OVM Manager."
"The solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"It's a scalable solution."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"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."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"It was a complex setup. It was very difficult for me."
"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."
"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 performance could be better because I need to purchase a lot of CPUs to perform in the workbench."
"The configuration can be more flexible. It is a necessity."
"Integration with cloud products would be beneficial."
"I would like to be able to ship all of our logs. This feature could exist and I am just not aware of it."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"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."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"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 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."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"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."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
