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."Virtualization platform that's easy to set up, and has good scalability and stability."
"It is highly esteemed for its ability to efficiently optimize and enhance the operational speed and responsiveness of virtualized environments."
"Ability to patch with no downtime."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The stability of the product is fine."
"Its technical support is quite good."
"It's quite stable."
"The ability to live migrate VMs on the fly from one hypervisor to another has been very useful."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"The solution is stable."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"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."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"The solution is an outdated Xen-based application."
"I think more Command-Line options for the product, for deployments."
"Oracle's VM VirtualBox is a powerful, free, and open-source virtualization tool. However, you'll have to read a lot of documents and perform experiments in test environments to make it work for you."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"We do have a little trepidation with systemd, as it does have a learning curve."
"I would like to be able to ship all of our logs. This feature could exist and I am just not aware of it."
"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."
"The pricing could be cheaper. It is very pricey."
"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."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"When we do a direct comparison, then obviously VMware does better in terms of having Fault Tolerance and doing active disaster recovery and these kind of things. This is something that can be improved within Red Hat."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"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 biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"This solution could be more secure."
