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 biggest advantage of Oracle VM is that you can separate your clusters to get your licenses agreement in scope."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It's easy to adjust the size up and down."
"It is a stable product."
"Ability to patch with no downtime."
"The network capabilities are good."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"Because of the virtualization for Linux, I use just Linux basically in all VMs, a few with Windows."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"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."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"It's a scalable solution."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"I've found that using Oracle VM is like stepping back in time. It's not kept up with technology. The only reason anyone uses it is that they're afraid of Oracle's licensing. Oracle has a tremendously bad licensing approach."
"One is the hypervisor. Right now, it’s all using Xen. What would be really helpful is to have some choice, and the underlying hypervisor technology use KVM which is very popular with certain workloads."
"There are currently issues with centralized storage."
"There are issues with the solution's stability since it crashes."
"It was a complex setup. It was very difficult for me."
"Integration with cloud products would be beneficial."
"We do have a little trepidation with systemd, as it does have a learning curve."
"The usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"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 UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"The support is tricky in a few places. We're facing some challenges within Malaysia where we don't really have the system integrators available who can provide extended support. When we need personnel on-site, we can't get them."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
