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."The Foundation is the most valuable feature of Oracle VM."
"The stability is rock solid."
"Cloning is the best feature in Oracle VM."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"It is highly esteemed for its ability to efficiently optimize and enhance the operational speed and responsiveness of virtualized environments."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"I like Oracle VM's vMotion and cloning features."
"Overall, the biggest performance is around virtualization and automation, you can build private clouds with Oracle VM using Enterprise Manager."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"It is very stable."
"Customers are moving to open source and Red Hat is the leader in this particular space. I think customers feel more confident running Red Hat Virtualization than VMware."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"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."
"One is the hypervisor. Right now, it’s all using Xen. What would be really helpful is to have some choice, and the underlying hypervisor technology use KVM which is very popular with certain workloads."
"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 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."
"It doesn't monitor everything, which is a little bit more difficult. It doesn't seem to have as many features or metrics to monitor as some others do, so you have to make some homemade scripts to do it."
"There have been some security issues in the past."
"Deployment should be simplified."
"Its database management features could be better."
"This solution could be more secure."
"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."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"In comparison to VMware, this solution isn't as stable. We're testing it right now, and we're not trusting the stability of the product."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
"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."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
