"The stability is rock solid."
"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."
"It's a very flexible solution because you have all the commands that you can do yourself."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, 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."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

"If you do a gap analysis between VMware and Oracle VM, you can't do VM Snapshot. That's one thing you can't do. It's a sort of a snapshot, but it's not really Snapshot technology. It requires that you're running on CFS-2."
"There have been some security issues in the past."
"It doesn't monitor everything, which is a little bit more difficult. It doesn't seem to have as many features or metrics to monitor as some others do, so you have to make some homemade scripts to do it."

"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
"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 availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"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."
