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 most valuable aspect of the solution is the resource management from the OVM Manager."
"It is a stable product."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"It's a very mature product."
"The stability of the product is fine."
"It's quite stable."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"It is very stable."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"The only improvement needed for Oracle VM is the look and feel of the interface."
"We do have a little trepidation with systemd, as it does have a learning curve."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is an outdated Xen-based application."
"You need to have a model for documentation available for the users. Right now, if you have to search for some troubleshooting, you need to have Oracle login. Many personnel might not have that login. The reach, the availability of information to the end-user, is not there."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"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."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"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."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"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."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
