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."Good visualization hypervisor."
"The biggest advantage of Oracle VM is that you can separate your clusters to get your licenses agreement in scope."
"VMware is user-friendly, with clear integration and detailed migration."
"The Foundation is the most valuable feature of Oracle VM."
"The solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"We've noticed that when working with Citrix with our Oracle clients who also use Oracle Linux, the monitoring and testing is simpler and easier for us to do."
"The network capabilities are good."
"The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"It's a scalable solution."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"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."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"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 solution makes migration easy."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"Oracle VM needs to add a backup feature."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"Deployment should be simplified."
"The configuration can be more flexible. It is a necessity."
"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 have been some security issues in the past."
"Oracle VM should have centralized storage, without which you can't clone or move one VM to another."
"Integration with cloud products would be beneficial."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"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."
"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."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"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."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
