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."It's not a very expensive product."
"What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."
"The stability of the product is fine."
"Good visualization hypervisor."
"Cloning is the best feature in Oracle VM."
"The support staff in the tech support team at Oracle has improved. I find them extremely helpful and they give very solid support."
"There's a lot of space to customize the solution if you need to."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"The solution is stable."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"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."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"The only improvement needed for Oracle VM is the look and feel of the interface."
"Deployment should be simplified."
"Incorporating analytics related to performance, particularly within the dashboard interface, would be beneficial."
"Its database management features could be better."
"I think more Command-Line options for the product, for deployments."
"We do have a little trepidation with systemd, as it does have a learning curve."
"The performance could be better because I need to purchase a lot of CPUs to perform in the workbench."
"The management can be improved more, and become more agile. It would be nice for it to become more rich in terms of UI. In addition, the replication to disaster recovery needs improvement."
"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."
"We hope that Red Hat can produce a paradigm edition. We are looking for paradigm computing and paradigm storage. Its scalability can be improved. It is not easy to scale, and we hope that Red Hat can provide a more scalable system. They should also provide local service and support. Our customers are looking for a good software vendor to provide professional services."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"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."
"This solution could be more secure."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"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 solution has a very small lifecycle."
