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."What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."
"There's a lot of space to customize the solution if you need to."
"It's easy to adjust the size up and down."
"Oracle is probably the best database technology out there. I've never found anything as complete in terms of feature and functionality and sophistication."
"What I like best about this product is that it's free."
"Overall, the biggest performance is around virtualization and automation, you can build private clouds with Oracle VM using Enterprise Manager."
"The support staff in the tech support team at Oracle has improved. I find them extremely helpful and they give very solid support."
"It is highly esteemed for its ability to efficiently optimize and enhance the operational speed and responsiveness of virtualized environments."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"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."
"There have been some security issues in the past."
"The pricing could be cheaper. It is very pricey."
"We do have a little trepidation with systemd, as it does have a learning curve."
"Incorporating analytics related to performance, particularly within the dashboard interface, would be beneficial."
"Oracle's VM VirtualBox is a powerful, free, and open-source virtualization tool. However, you'll have to read a lot of documents and perform experiments in test environments to make it work for you."
"The only improvement needed for Oracle VM is the look and feel of the interface."
"There is no memory over-subscription and CPU over-subscription. That has to be improved in terms of Oracle VM perspective. The other leading virtualizing software solutions have this feature."
"I think more Command-Line options for the product, for deployments."
"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."
"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 Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
