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 support staff in the tech support team at Oracle has improved. I find them extremely helpful and they give very solid support."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the resource management from the OVM Manager."
"The stability of the product is fine."
"It is simple and straightforward, and it will only require you one system integrator to do the job."
"The ability to live migrate VMs on the fly from one hypervisor to another has been very useful."
"Good visualization hypervisor."
"What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."
"It is highly esteemed for its ability to efficiently optimize and enhance the operational speed and responsiveness of virtualized environments."
"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."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"The user interface of the version that we have requires improvement. They have already improved the user interface in the latest version, but we are yet to migrate to that. The new UI is much better. I would like it to be simple. It is serving all of our needs, and I don't think it is necessary to keep adding. We are able to provision a VM in ten minutes, and provisioning it in five minutes will not have any added benefit."
"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 configuration can be more flexible. It is a necessity."
"The solution is an outdated Xen-based application."
"If there are issues with the storage, then all the machines go down, even if I have a backup solution in place."
"There are currently issues with centralized storage."
"Incorporating analytics related to performance, particularly within the dashboard interface, would be beneficial."
"The usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"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 solution should be made more user-friendly."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"This solution could be more secure."
