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."Oracle is probably the best database technology out there. I've never found anything as complete in terms of feature and functionality and sophistication."
"The stability is rock solid."
"In terms of server provisioning, it only takes a few clicks of a button and a bit of install automation."
"It provides enhancements for network and storage configuration, policy-based management for delivering application resource flexibility, and a GUI."
"VMware is user-friendly, with clear integration and detailed migration."
"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."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward and well-documented. The process is very similar to its competitors. The success of your setup depends on how well you plan."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"It is very stable."
"Deployment should be simplified."
"The tool's price and stability could be better."
"There are issues with the solution's stability since it crashes."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"Oracle VM could provide integration with backup solutions."
"I would like to be able to ship all of our logs. This feature could exist and I am just not aware of it."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"The pricing could be cheaper. It is very pricey."
"RHEV can improve by keeping pace with new features and new enhancements. They should not be halted or delayed innovation because over the past quarter the enhancements have not been as fast as they have been previously."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"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."
"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."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
