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."Good visualization hypervisor."
"It provides enhancements for network and storage configuration, policy-based management for delivering application resource flexibility, and a GUI."
"It is simple and straightforward, and it will only require you one system integrator to do the job."
"Ability to patch with no downtime."
"Virtualization platform that's easy to set up, and has good scalability and stability."
"It is highly esteemed for its ability to efficiently optimize and enhance the operational speed and responsiveness of virtualized environments."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"It's a very mature product."
"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."
"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."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"It is very stable."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"It's a scalable solution."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"Oracle's VM VirtualBox is a powerful, free, and open-source virtualization tool. However, you'll have to read a lot of documents and perform experiments in test environments to make it work for you."
"This solution is not as stable as other solutions in the market. But, Oracle has made an effort to improve these issues with recent updates."
"The solution is an outdated Xen-based application."
"The solution is at its end of life and is about to be discontinued."
"The documentation for implementation could be improved because we were not able to find an easy way to implement our company's features due to a lack of understanding."
"You need to have a model for documentation available for the users. Right now, if you have to search for some troubleshooting, you need to have Oracle login. Many personnel might not have that login. The reach, the availability of information to the end-user, is not there."
"The management can be improved more, and become more agile. It would be nice for it to become more rich in terms of UI. In addition, the replication to disaster recovery needs improvement."
"The configuration can be more flexible. It is a necessity."
"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."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"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 Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
