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 Foundation is the most valuable feature of Oracle VM."
"I like Oracle VM's vMotion and cloning features."
"Good visualization hypervisor."
"What I like best about this product is that it's free."
"Because of the virtualization for Linux, I use just Linux basically in all VMs, a few with Windows."
"VMware is user-friendly, with clear integration and detailed migration."
"Virtualization platform that's easy to set up, and has good scalability and stability."
"The ability to live migrate VMs on the fly from one hypervisor to another has been very useful."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"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 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."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"The performance could be better because I need to purchase a lot of CPUs to perform in the workbench."
"Integrating with the internal system is not very easy."
"This solution is not as stable as other solutions in the market. But, Oracle has made an effort to improve these issues with recent updates."
"The configuration can be more flexible. It is a necessity."
"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."
"Oracle VM should be more feature-rich."
"There have been some security issues in the past."
"The solution is at its end of life and is about to be discontinued."
"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."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"This solution could be more secure."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"I heard that there are big differences between Red Hat eight and seven, but it's still quite difficult for me to judge it. I found it a bit more difficult to manage than version seven, which was much easier. In term of features, though, it is still not yet clear which is better. I have no clear idea of which features need to be changed at the moment."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"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."
