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."
"It is a stable product."
"In terms of server provisioning, it only takes a few clicks of a button and a bit of install automation."
"What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."
"It's easy to adjust the size up and down."
"Cloning is the best feature in Oracle VM."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"The virtualization product Oracle puts out just complements the performance of the database."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"The solution is stable."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"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 very stable."
"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."
"The solution is at its end of life and is about to be discontinued."
"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."
"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."
"The performance could be better because I need to purchase a lot of CPUs to perform in the workbench."
"This solution is not as stable as other solutions in the market. But, Oracle has made an effort to improve these issues with recent updates."
"The pricing could be cheaper. It is very pricey."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"The support is tricky in a few places. We're facing some challenges within Malaysia where we don't really have the system integrators available who can provide extended support. When we need personnel on-site, we can't get them."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"This solution could be more secure."
