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 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."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"We've noticed that when working with Citrix with our Oracle clients who also use Oracle Linux, the monitoring and testing is simpler and easier for us to do."
"The network capabilities are good."
"I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"I like Oracle VM's vMotion and cloning features."
"It provides enhancements for network and storage configuration, policy-based management for delivering application resource flexibility, and a GUI."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"The most valuable features of RHEV are all the tools, such as virtualization, management of cloud platforms, and integration of container environments. The solution has good compatibility between virtualization, content management, and cloud management. Having the full set of these tools is the advantage of it."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"There are issues with the solution's stability since it crashes."
"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."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"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."
"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."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"The configuration can be more flexible. It is a necessity."
"If you do a gap analysis between VMware and Oracle VM, you can't do VM Snapshot. That's one thing you can't do. It's a sort of a snapshot, but it's not really Snapshot technology. It requires that you're running on CFS-2."
"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."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
"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."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"This solution could be more secure."
