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."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 product's initial setup phase was simple."
"Its technical support is quite good."
"Because of the virtualization for Linux, I use just Linux basically in all VMs, a few with Windows."
"It provides enhancements for network and storage configuration, policy-based management for delivering application resource flexibility, and a GUI."
"The solution is very stable. I don't recall any bugs or glitches. It's reliable. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"The Foundation is the most valuable feature of Oracle VM."
"The stability of the product is fine."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"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."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"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."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"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 documentation for implementation could be improved because we were not able to find an easy way to implement our company's features due to a lack of understanding."
"Its database management features could be better."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"If you do a gap analysis between VMware and Oracle VM, you can't do VM Snapshot. That's one thing you can't do. It's a sort of a snapshot, but it's not really Snapshot technology. It requires that you're running on CFS-2."
"Oracle VM should have centralized storage, without which you can't clone or move one VM to another."
"The performance could be better because I need to purchase a lot of CPUs to perform in the workbench."
"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."
"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."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"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."
"This solution could be more secure."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
