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."What I like best about this product is that it's free."
"The Foundation is the most valuable feature of Oracle VM."
"I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"The support staff in the tech support team at Oracle has improved. I find them extremely helpful and they give very solid support."
"The stability of the product is fine."
"The solution is very stable. I don't recall any bugs or glitches. It's reliable. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"In terms of server provisioning, it only takes a few clicks of a button and a bit of install automation."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"It's a scalable solution."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"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."
"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."
"We do have a little trepidation with systemd, as it does have a learning curve."
"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."
"Oracle VM needs to add a backup feature."
"Oracle VM should be more feature-rich."
"Integrating with the internal system is not very easy."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"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 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."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"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."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"This solution could be more secure."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
