We performed a comparison between IBM PowerVM, Oracle VM VirtualBox, and RHEV based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Proxmox, VMware, Microsoft and others in Server Virtualization Software."IBM PowerVM's most valuable feature is stability."
"The most valuable feature of IBM PowerVM is the performance of the database workload."
"The tool's performance is top-notch."
"It is a complete solution."
"PowerVM's most valuable features include swift optimisation and real-time migration."
"The case fileserver on the web server is the most valuable feature."
"The feature that I like most is the versatility."
"Technical support is great."
"The flexibility as well as performance wise and as well as data volume, we have huge volume stored."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to copy bidirectionally between the desktop and the virtual machine."
"The configuration and installation is pretty straightforward."
"The installation is easy."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the ability to manage multiple operating systems through one application."
"The solution has high performance and is easy to use."
"This solution creates a snapshot of virtual machines so you can create test environments."
"The solution is very convenient and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"It's a scalable solution."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"The solution is stable."
"IBM PowerVM could improve the price because it is expensive."
"The solution is quite pricey."
"To make it a ten, I would like for them to add automation and configuration tools in order to help use the manager."
"The interface is not user-friendly in places, so it could use some improvement."
"Any improvements that can be made in the interface will go a long way to helping us work better."
"This solution is lacking the ability to have servers act as a cluster, such as in VMware. IBM has come out with a feature similar to VMware's vCenter but it is not as mature. They need to add LPM shared-nothing feature, such as in vMotion."
"A GUI version of VIOS would be a great plus for people moving from Intel-based hypervisors."
"IBM should review the price of this solution in my opinion; it is too high."
"There are a few bugs that need to be updated."
"The solution needs to improve its flexibility. It's not as flexible as VMware."
"I find the solution to be incredibly unstable, constantly falling over and not working properly."
"When I select the Ubuntu operating system from within the virtual machine, it sometimes hangs."
"Oracle VM VirtualBox is not flexible, It's not like VMware."
"The solution should work to simplify the system. However, it should be flexible enough to allow for special cases."
"Oracle VMs don't have a solid web interface of their own. This is an area where Oracle is lagging behind. Now, we use headless servers, install Oracle VMs, and manage them remotely. We could use phpVirtual Box, but it is a third-party solution. A lot of people contribute to it, and it's not authenticated by Oracle. As a result, I don't find it to be a good option. Therefore, I would like to see Oracle offer an extension pack or a licensed version that fixes this problem."
"The communications setup lags. It does not connect properly so the batching and networking is a bit slow."
"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."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"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."
"This solution could be more secure."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
