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 easy to adjust the size up and down."
"Good visualization hypervisor."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"The network capabilities are good."
"It is a scalable solution."
"There's a lot of space to customize the solution if you need to."
"It's quite stable."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"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 is stable."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"It's a scalable solution."
"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."
"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."
"The usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"The pricing could be cheaper. It is very pricey."
"I would say third-party plugins to other storage vendors. There are a lot of converged infrastructure setups; one that we have, multiple different hardware vendors. So that would be something we could definitely be looking for."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"Something that could be improved are the snapshots that go in the ZFS Storage. If you want to enjoy Oracle VM, you will definitely want it to go together with ZFS Storage to maximize on the snapshot facility."
"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."
"Its database management features could be better."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"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."
"This solution could be more secure."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
