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."It is highly esteemed for its ability to efficiently optimize and enhance the operational speed and responsiveness of virtualized environments."
"There's a lot of space to customize the solution if you need to."
"Because of the virtualization for Linux, I use just Linux basically in all VMs, a few with Windows."
"The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"Virtualization platform that's easy to set up, and has good scalability and stability."
"Oracle is probably the best database technology out there. I've never found anything as complete in terms of feature and functionality and sophistication."
"It is very useful for the project management of our company."
"It's easy to adjust the size up and down."
"It is very stable."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"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."
"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."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"The solution needs more features and flexibility in terms of communicating with other platforms. If it had that, it would be the perfect product."
"The documentation for implementation could be improved because we were not able to find an easy way to implement our company's features due to a lack of understanding."
"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."
"Oracle VM should have centralized storage, without which you can't clone or move one VM to another."
"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 think more Command-Line options for the product, for deployments."
"There are currently issues with centralized storage."
"The configuration can be more flexible. It is a necessity."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"This solution could be more secure."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"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 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."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
