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."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"It provides enhancements for network and storage configuration, policy-based management for delivering application resource flexibility, and a GUI."
"The biggest advantage of Oracle VM is that you can separate your clusters to get your licenses agreement in scope."
"Because of the virtualization for Linux, I use just Linux basically in all VMs, a few with Windows."
"It is very useful for the project management of our company."
"The stability is rock solid."
"The solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"It is very stable."
"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."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"The pricing could be cheaper. It is very pricey."
"Oracle's VM VirtualBox is a powerful, free, and open-source virtualization tool. However, you'll have to read a lot of documents and perform experiments in test environments to make it work for you."
"You need to have a model for documentation available for the users. Right now, if you have to search for some troubleshooting, you need to have Oracle login. Many personnel might not have that login. The reach, the availability of information to the end-user, is not there."
"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 are issues with the solution's stability since it crashes."
"It was a complex setup. It was very difficult for me."
"The tool's price and stability could be better."
"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."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"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."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
