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 virtualization product Oracle puts out just complements the performance of the database."
"The biggest advantage of Oracle VM is that you can separate your clusters to get your licenses agreement in scope."
"Ability to patch with no downtime."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It's a very flexible solution because you have all the commands that you can do yourself."
"It provides enhancements for network and storage configuration, policy-based management for delivering application resource flexibility, and a GUI."
"It's not a very expensive product."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"It is very stable."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"The documentation for implementation could be improved because we were not able to find an easy way to implement our company's features due to a lack of understanding."
"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."
"There are issues with the solution's stability since it crashes."
"Oracle VM could provide integration with backup solutions."
"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."
"The solution is an outdated Xen-based application."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"The usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"It would be better to have more patches, especially kernel-level updates, live and online so that we can keep the business up and running during this period."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"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 UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"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."
