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 solution is very stable. I don't recall any bugs or glitches. It's reliable. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"Virtualization platform that's easy to set up, and has good scalability and stability."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Good visualization hypervisor."
"It is highly esteemed for its ability to efficiently optimize and enhance the operational speed and responsiveness of virtualized environments."
"Its ease of management and simplicity are most valuable. It is free, and you can provision an unlimited number of VMs at no cost for clients. They also provide perfect support."
"We've noticed that when working with Citrix with our Oracle clients who also use Oracle Linux, the monitoring and testing is simpler and easier for us to do."
"It is very useful for the project management of our company."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"It is a scalable solution."
"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 most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"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 price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"It was a complex setup. It was very difficult for me."
"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."
"Integrating with the internal system is not very easy."
"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."
"You need to have a model for documentation available for the users. Right now, if you have to search for some troubleshooting, you need to have Oracle login. Many personnel might not have that login. The reach, the availability of information to the end-user, is not there."
"There are issues with the solution's stability since it crashes."
"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."
"Oracle VM should be more feature-rich."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"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."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"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."
"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."
