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."Good visualization hypervisor."
"What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"VMware is user-friendly, with clear integration and detailed migration."
"I like Oracle VM's vMotion and cloning features."
"The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"It is a scalable solution."
"I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward and well-documented. The process is very similar to its competitors. The success of your setup depends on how well you plan."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"Integration with cloud products 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."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"Integrating with the internal system is not very easy."
"The solution needs more features and flexibility in terms of communicating with other platforms. If it had that, it would be the perfect product."
"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."
"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."
"Integration capabilities are a little complicated. It could be made easier. Whether integrating with Azure or other platforms or integration with OIC itself, the integration part is a little complicated."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"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 availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"This solution could be more secure."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"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."
