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."What I like best about this product is that it's free."
"Good visualization hypervisor."
"The solution is very stable. I don't recall any bugs or glitches. It's reliable. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"It is simple and straightforward, and it will only require you one system integrator to do the job."
"The support staff in the tech support team at Oracle has improved. I find them extremely helpful and they give very solid support."
"The virtualization product Oracle puts out just complements the performance of the database."
"It provides enhancements for network and storage configuration, policy-based management for delivering application resource flexibility, and a GUI."
"Oracle is probably the best database technology out there. I've never found anything as complete in terms of feature and functionality and sophistication."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"The most valuable features of RHEV are all the tools, such as virtualization, management of cloud platforms, and integration of container environments. The solution has good compatibility between virtualization, content management, and cloud management. Having the full set of these tools is the advantage of it."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"It's a scalable solution."
"Oracle VM should be more feature-rich."
"The management can be improved more, and become more agile. It would be nice for it to become more rich in terms of UI. In addition, the replication to disaster recovery needs improvement."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"I've found that using Oracle VM is like stepping back in time. It's not kept up with technology. The only reason anyone uses it is that they're afraid of Oracle's licensing. Oracle has a tremendously bad licensing approach."
"There are currently issues with centralized storage."
"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 only improvement needed for Oracle VM is the look and feel of the interface."
"There is no memory over-subscription and CPU over-subscription. That has to be improved in terms of Oracle VM perspective. The other leading virtualizing software solutions have this feature."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"This solution could be more secure."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"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."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"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."
