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."Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Virtualization platform that's easy to set up, and has good scalability and stability."
"The network capabilities are good."
"The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."
"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."
"The solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"It's not a very expensive product."
"The biggest advantage of Oracle VM is that you can separate your clusters to get your licenses agreement in scope."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"It's a scalable solution."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"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."
"We do have a little trepidation with systemd, as it does have a learning curve."
"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."
"The solution needs more features and flexibility in terms of communicating with other platforms. If it had that, it would be the perfect product."
"I think more Command-Line options for the product, for deployments."
"Oracle VM should be more feature-rich."
"The only improvement needed for Oracle VM is the look and feel of the interface."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"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."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"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."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
