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."What I like best about this product is that it's free."
"The biggest advantage of Oracle VM is that you can separate your clusters to get your licenses agreement in scope."
"It's easy to adjust the size up and down."
"I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"Virtualization platform that's easy to set up, and has good scalability and stability."
"Cloning is the best feature in Oracle VM."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"Oracle is probably the best database technology out there. I've never found anything as complete in terms of feature and functionality and sophistication."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"It is very stable."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"Customers are moving to open source and Red Hat is the leader in this particular space. I think customers feel more confident running Red Hat Virtualization than VMware."
"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"The solution is an outdated Xen-based application."
"Integration capabilities are a little complicated. It could be made easier. Whether integrating with Azure or other platforms or integration with OIC itself, the integration part is a little complicated."
"The tool's price and stability could be better."
"Incorporating analytics related to performance, particularly within the dashboard interface, would be beneficial."
"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."
"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."
"Deployment should be simplified."
"Oracle VM should have centralized storage, without which you can't clone or move one VM to another."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
"This solution could be more secure."
"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."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
