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."I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"What I like the most is the failover and the quick restore of virtual machines."
"The solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"It provides enhancements for network and storage configuration, policy-based management for delivering application resource flexibility, and a GUI."
"The stability is rock solid."
"It's a very flexible solution because you have all the commands that you can do yourself."
"It's easy to adjust the size up and down."
"It is simple and straightforward, and it will only require you one system integrator to do the job."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"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."
"It is very stable."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"Oracle VM should be more feature-rich."
"The only improvement needed for Oracle VM is the look and feel of the interface."
"There is no memory over-subscription and CPU over-subscription. That has to be improved in terms of Oracle VM perspective. The other leading virtualizing software solutions have this feature."
"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."
"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."
"An expanded data transfer option is one of the features I would like to have added."
"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."
"With our current OVM Manager version, migrating a VM from one repository to another repository was really complicated, especially editing and manually matching the configuration."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"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."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"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."
"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."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
