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."
"Good visualization hypervisor."
"What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."
"It is simple and straightforward, and it will only require you one system integrator to do the job."
"I like Oracle VM's vMotion and cloning features."
"The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"The network capabilities are good."
"The virtualization product Oracle puts out just complements the performance of the database."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"It is a scalable solution."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"It is very stable."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"It doesn't monitor everything, which is a little bit more difficult. It doesn't seem to have as many features or metrics to monitor as some others do, so you have to make some homemade scripts to do it."
"The user interface of the version that we have requires improvement. They have already improved the user interface in the latest version, but we are yet to migrate to that. The new UI is much better. I would like it to be simple. It is serving all of our needs, and I don't think it is necessary to keep adding. We are able to provision a VM in ten minutes, and provisioning it in five minutes will not have any added benefit."
"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."
"I would say third-party plugins to other storage vendors. There are a lot of converged infrastructure setups; one that we have, multiple different hardware vendors. So that would be something we could definitely be looking for."
"The only improvement needed for Oracle VM is the look and feel of the interface."
"The solution needs more features and flexibility in terms of communicating with other platforms. If it had that, it would be the perfect product."
"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."
"Incorporating analytics related to performance, particularly within the dashboard interface, would be beneficial."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
"This solution could be more secure."
"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."
"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 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."
