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 is rock solid."
"Good visualization hypervisor."
"The solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It's quite stable."
"In terms of server provisioning, it only takes a few clicks of a button and a bit of install automation."
"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 solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"Oracle VM should be more feature-rich."
"The solution needs more features and flexibility in terms of communicating with other platforms. If it had that, it would be the perfect product."
"The only improvement needed for Oracle VM is the look and feel of the interface."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"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."
"It doesn't monitor everything, which is a little bit more difficult. It doesn't seem to have as many features or metrics to monitor as some others do, so you have to make some homemade scripts to do it."
"Integrating with the internal system is not very easy."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"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 biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"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."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
