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."Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I like Oracle VM's vMotion and cloning features."
"Its technical support is quite good."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"Cloning is the best feature in Oracle VM."
"It is a stable product."
"There's a lot of space to customize the solution if you need to."
"The solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"It is a scalable solution."
"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."
"The solution needs more features and flexibility in terms of communicating with other platforms. If it had that, it would be the perfect product."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"I would like to be able to ship all of our logs. This feature could exist and I am just not aware of it."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"I've found that using Oracle VM is like stepping back in time. It's not kept up with technology. The only reason anyone uses it is that they're afraid of Oracle's licensing. Oracle has a tremendously bad licensing approach."
"Deployment should be simplified."
"Oracle VM could provide integration with backup solutions."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"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."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"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."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"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."
