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."What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."
"The stability is rock solid."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"VMware is user-friendly, with clear integration and detailed migration."
"Overall, the biggest performance is around virtualization and automation, you can build private clouds with Oracle VM using Enterprise Manager."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the resource management from the OVM Manager."
"The virtualization product Oracle puts out just complements the performance of the database."
"There's a lot of space to customize the solution if you need to."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"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 user interface of the version that we have requires improvement. They have already improved the user interface in the latest version, but we are yet to migrate to that. The new UI is much better. I would like it to be simple. It is serving all of our needs, and I don't think it is necessary to keep adding. We are able to provision a VM in ten minutes, and provisioning it in five minutes will not have any added benefit."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"The management can be improved more, and become more agile. It would be nice for it to become more rich in terms of UI. In addition, the replication to disaster recovery needs improvement."
"I would say third-party plugins to other storage vendors. There are a lot of converged infrastructure setups; one that we have, multiple different hardware vendors. So that would be something we could definitely be looking for."
"The performance could be better because I need to purchase a lot of CPUs to perform in the workbench."
"Oracle VM needs to add a backup feature."
"It was a complex setup. It was very difficult for me."
"There have been some security issues in the past."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"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."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
"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."
"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."
