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."I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"The network capabilities are good."
"In terms of server provisioning, it only takes a few clicks of a button and a bit of install automation."
"Because of the virtualization for Linux, I use just Linux basically in all VMs, a few with Windows."
"The solution is very stable. I don't recall any bugs or glitches. It's reliable. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"It is a scalable solution."
"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."
"What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."
"It's a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"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."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"Deployment should be simplified."
"With our current OVM Manager version, migrating a VM from one repository to another repository was really complicated, especially editing and manually matching the configuration."
"Integrating with the internal system is not very easy."
"The solution is at its end of life and is about to be discontinued."
"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."
"The usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"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."
"Integration with cloud products would be beneficial."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"I heard that there are big differences between Red Hat eight and seven, but it's still quite difficult for me to judge it. I found it a bit more difficult to manage than version seven, which was much easier. In term of features, though, it is still not yet clear which is better. I have no clear idea of which features need to be changed at the moment."
"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 availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
