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 stability of the product is fine."
"The support staff in the tech support team at Oracle has improved. I find them extremely helpful and they give very solid support."
"Its technical support is quite good."
"It is a stable product."
"I like Oracle VM's vMotion and cloning features."
"It is simple and straightforward, and it will only require you one system integrator to do the job."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It is highly esteemed for its ability to efficiently optimize and enhance the operational speed and responsiveness of virtualized environments."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"It is very stable."
"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."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"The most valuable features of RHEV are all the tools, such as virtualization, management of cloud platforms, and integration of container environments. The solution has good compatibility between virtualization, content management, and cloud management. Having the full set of these tools is the advantage of it."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Integration with cloud products would be beneficial."
"The configuration can be more flexible. It is a necessity."
"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."
"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."
"There are currently issues with centralized storage."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"The solution is an outdated Xen-based application."
"Oracle VM could provide integration with backup solutions."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"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."
"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."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"RHEV can improve by keeping pace with new features and new enhancements. They should not be halted or delayed innovation because over the past quarter the enhancements have not been as fast as they have been previously."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
