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."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"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 a scalable solution."
"It provides enhancements for network and storage configuration, policy-based management for delivering application resource flexibility, and a GUI."
"The Foundation is the most valuable feature of Oracle VM."
"It's a very mature product."
"The biggest advantage of Oracle VM is that you can separate your clusters to get your licenses agreement in scope."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"The solution is stable."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"It is very stable."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"Integration with cloud products would be beneficial."
"We do have a little trepidation with systemd, as it does have a learning curve."
"It was a complex setup. It was very difficult for me."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"Oracle VM should be more feature-rich."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"The pricing could be cheaper. It is very pricey."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"In comparison to VMware, this solution isn't as stable. We're testing it right now, and we're not trusting the stability of the product."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"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."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"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."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
