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."It's a very mature product."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the resource management from the OVM Manager."
"Because of the virtualization for Linux, I use just Linux basically in all VMs, a few with Windows."
"What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."
"Oracle VM is user-friendly and facilitates compliance with Oracle Licensing, a feature not provided by competitors like VMware or Hyper-V. Oracle prefers customers to use their technology. It is also easy to implement, clone, and deploy machines with Oracle VM, making it a convenient solution."
"Ability to patch with no downtime."
"The solution is very stable. I don't recall any bugs or glitches. It's reliable. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"It is very useful for the project management of our company."
"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 makes migration easy."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"The solution is stable."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"It is very stable."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"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."
"I would like to be able to ship all of our logs. This feature could exist and I am just not aware of it."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"I think more Command-Line options for the product, for deployments."
"Oracle VM should be more feature-rich."
"The only improvement needed for Oracle VM is the look and feel of the interface."
"Incorporating analytics related to performance, particularly within the dashboard interface, would be beneficial."
"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 lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"This solution could be more secure."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"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."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
