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."The most valuable aspect of the solution is the resource management from the OVM Manager."
"Oracle is probably the best database technology out there. I've never found anything as complete in terms of feature and functionality and sophistication."
"It's a very mature product."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"Ability to patch with no downtime."
"What I like best about this product is that it's free."
"There's a lot of space to customize the solution if you need to."
"Oracle VM is user-friendly and facilitates compliance with Oracle Licensing, a feature not provided by competitors like VMware or Hyper-V. Oracle prefers customers to use their technology. It is also easy to implement, clone, and deploy machines with Oracle VM, making it a convenient solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"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."
"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 stable."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"Oracle VM should be more feature-rich."
"Productivity in Oracle VM could still be improved, and an additional feature to make the product better is compatibility with Kubernetes and other modern technologies."
"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."
"Integrating with the internal system is not very easy."
"The only improvement needed for Oracle VM is the look and feel of the interface."
"The solution is at its end of life and is about to be discontinued."
"It was a complex setup. It was very difficult for me."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"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."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"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."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"It would be better to have more patches, especially kernel-level updates, live and online so that we can keep the business up and running during this period."
