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 rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"It is very useful for the project management of our company."
"It is simple and straightforward, and it will only require you one system integrator to do the job."
"The biggest advantage of Oracle VM is that you can separate your clusters to get your licenses agreement in scope."
"The solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"The network capabilities are good."
"Virtualization platform that's easy to set up, and has good scalability and stability."
"There's a lot of space to customize the solution if you need to."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"It was a complex setup. It was very difficult for me."
"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."
"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."
"The management can be improved more, and become more agile. It would be nice for it to become more rich in terms of UI. In addition, the replication to disaster recovery needs improvement."
"If you do a gap analysis between VMware and Oracle VM, you can't do VM Snapshot. That's one thing you can't do. It's a sort of a snapshot, but it's not really Snapshot technology. It requires that you're running on CFS-2."
"I would say third-party plugins to other storage vendors. There are a lot of converged infrastructure setups; one that we have, multiple different hardware vendors. So that would be something we could definitely be looking for."
"There are currently issues with centralized storage."
"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."
"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 Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"This solution could be more secure."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
