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 ability to live migrate VMs on the fly from one hypervisor to another has been very useful."
"It's not a very expensive product."
"The stability is rock solid."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"The solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"The Foundation is the most valuable feature of Oracle VM."
"If you want to access the VM from anywhere over the Internet, you put it in a public subnet. So, VMs are linked to that. The subnets are linked to it. So, it's perfectly secured if it's a private network. The security is set."
"It is a stable product."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"It's a scalable solution."
"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."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"I would like to be able to ship all of our logs. This feature could exist and I am just not aware of it."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"Incorporating analytics related to performance, particularly within the dashboard interface, would be beneficial."
"We do have a little trepidation with systemd, as it does have a learning curve."
"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."
"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."
"Oracle VM should have centralized storage, without which you can't clone or move one VM to another."
"The tool's price and stability could be better."
"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 would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"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 Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"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."
"This solution could be more secure."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
