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 is a scalable solution."
"Virtualization platform that's easy to set up, and has good scalability and stability."
"Oracle is probably the best database technology out there. I've never found anything as complete in terms of feature and functionality and sophistication."
"What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."
"The solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the resource management from the OVM Manager."
"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 overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"It is very stable."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Deployment should be simplified."
"The performance could be better because I need to purchase a lot of CPUs to perform in the workbench."
"One is the hypervisor. Right now, it’s all using Xen. What would be really helpful is to have some choice, and the underlying hypervisor technology use KVM which is very popular with certain workloads."
"There have been some security issues in the past."
"The usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"Oracle VM could provide integration with backup solutions."
"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."
"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 UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"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."
