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 stability is rock solid."
"It is highly esteemed for its ability to efficiently optimize and enhance the operational speed and responsiveness of virtualized environments."
"Cloning is the best feature in Oracle VM."
"Oracle is probably the best database technology out there. I've never found anything as complete in terms of feature and functionality and sophistication."
"The virtualization product Oracle puts out just complements the performance of the database."
"The biggest advantage of Oracle VM is that you can separate your clusters to get your licenses agreement in scope."
"I like Oracle VM's vMotion and cloning features."
"It's a very flexible solution because you have all the commands that you can do yourself."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"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 solution makes migration easy."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"Productivity in Oracle VM could still be improved, and an additional feature to make the product better is compatibility with Kubernetes and other modern technologies."
"The solution is at its end of life and is about to be discontinued."
"The performance could be better because I need to purchase a lot of CPUs to perform in the workbench."
"Incorporating analytics related to performance, particularly within the dashboard interface, would be beneficial."
"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."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"Integrating with the internal system is not very easy."
"The solution is an outdated Xen-based application."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
