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 virtualization product Oracle puts out just complements the performance of the database."
"It is highly esteemed for its ability to efficiently optimize and enhance the operational speed and responsiveness of virtualized environments."
"The solution is very stable. I don't recall any bugs or glitches. It's reliable. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Oracle is probably the best database technology out there. I've never found anything as complete in terms of feature and functionality and sophistication."
"It's a very flexible solution because you have all the commands that you can do yourself."
"What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."
"It is a scalable solution."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"Integrating with the internal system is not very easy."
"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."
"There are currently issues with centralized storage."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"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."
"Oracle VM needs to add a backup feature."
"The tool's price and stability could be better."
"The usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"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."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
"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."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
