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."In terms of server provisioning, it only takes a few clicks of a button and a bit of install automation."
"Its ease of management and simplicity are most valuable. It is free, and you can provision an unlimited number of VMs at no cost for clients. They also provide perfect support."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"It provides enhancements for network and storage configuration, policy-based management for delivering application resource flexibility, and a GUI."
"The biggest advantage of Oracle VM is that you can separate your clusters to get your licenses agreement in scope."
"It is very useful for the project management of our company."
"It's not a very expensive product."
"It is a stable product."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"It is a scalable solution."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"It is very stable."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"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 has a good licensing module."
"There is no memory over-subscription and CPU over-subscription. That has to be improved in terms of Oracle VM perspective. The other leading virtualizing software solutions have this feature."
"The solution needs more features and flexibility in terms of communicating with other platforms. If it had that, it would be the perfect product."
"The solution is at its end of life and is about to be discontinued."
"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."
"There are issues with the solution's stability since it crashes."
"There are currently issues with centralized storage."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"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."
"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."
"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 documentation is not as good as it should be."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
"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."
"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."
