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."Oracle VM is user-friendly and facilitates compliance with Oracle Licensing, a feature not provided by competitors like VMware or Hyper-V. Oracle prefers customers to use their technology. It is also easy to implement, clone, and deploy machines with Oracle VM, making it a convenient solution."
"Overall, the biggest performance is around virtualization and automation, you can build private clouds with Oracle VM using Enterprise Manager."
"It's a very flexible solution because you have all the commands that you can do yourself."
"It's a very mature product."
"It's easy to adjust the size up and down."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"Good visualization hypervisor."
"Virtualization platform that's easy to set up, and has good scalability and stability."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"It's a scalable solution."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward and well-documented. The process is very similar to its competitors. The success of your setup depends on how well you plan."
"The solution is 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 most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"It is a scalable solution."
"There are issues with the solution's stability since it crashes."
"The management can be improved more, and become more agile. It would be nice for it to become more rich in terms of UI. In addition, the replication to disaster recovery needs improvement."
"The solution needs more features and flexibility in terms of communicating with other platforms. If it had that, it would be the perfect product."
"The solution is an outdated Xen-based application."
"The usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"Deployment should be simplified."
"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."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
"This solution could be more secure."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"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."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
