We performed a comparison between RHEV and VMware VSphere based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Based on the parameters we compared, VMware VSphere got better user reviews. One major difference between the two solutions is that users say that RHEV’s scalability is not great.
"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."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"It is very stable."
"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."
"It's a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"There are no issues with the level of scalability you can achieve."
"The solution saves cost."
"This solution is very stable. It's scalable and simple to set up."
"vSphere does offer quite a bit of security stuff built-in. It is nice to know that we can have the virtual machines encrypted, so that if somebody were to get a hold of any of those files, we don't have to worry about them actually being used."
"The scalability of the solution is good. You can scale up to maximum levels."
"It is a very stable solution. Integration with other environments was simple to achieve."
"Virtualization, VDI and application publishing are the most valuable features of VMware vSphere."
"The pricing of the product is reasonable."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
"We hope that Red Hat can produce a paradigm edition. We are looking for paradigm computing and paradigm storage. Its scalability can be improved. It is not easy to scale, and we hope that Red Hat can provide a more scalable system. They should also provide local service and support. Our customers are looking for a good software vendor to provide professional services."
"I would like to see AI in future releases."
"It is expensive."
"I recommend that VMware vSphere continue to release more features."
"The VMware vSphere app is faster, compared to its web-based client. The web-based client is very slow, freezes, and is challenging to use."
"VMware vSphere needs to increase the datastore volume."
"There should be a bit more flexibility in terms of the hardware we can use with the product."
"They can maybe review its price. They can also consider offering a free public version for development for a certain number of users."
"I would like to see DRS for the GPU machines."
