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 stability of the product is fine."
"What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."
"In terms of server provisioning, it only takes a few clicks of a button and a bit of install automation."
"Because of the virtualization for Linux, I use just Linux basically in all VMs, a few with Windows."
"It is a stable product."
"It's a very mature product."
"What I like best about this product is that it's free."
"Its ease of management and simplicity are most valuable. It is free, and you can provision an unlimited number of VMs at no cost for clients. They also provide perfect support."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"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."
"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."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"There are currently issues with centralized storage."
"Productivity in Oracle VM could still be improved, and an additional feature to make the product better is compatibility with Kubernetes and other modern technologies."
"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."
"Integration with cloud products would be beneficial."
"Oracle VM should have centralized storage, without which you can't clone or move one VM to another."
"Oracle VM should be more feature-rich."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"The tool's price and stability could be better."
"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."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"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 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."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
