We performed a comparison between Hyper-V 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."I like that it's easy to use."
"My understanding is it's easy to set up."
"We have a higher capacity server (specification wise) so there is no need to buy another additional hardware."
"The most valuable feature is being able to do checkpoints then roll back to the checkpoint because that's what we need to test the software. We're testing the installation and then we roll it back and retest it."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from how my company uses Hyper-V for replication."
"It allowed us to add on servers and fix things in an expedient manner."
"I think all of these improvements are going in a good direction. For me, its direction is good and I'm very satisfied with this product."
"There are some products that you can mount over Hyper-V that provide the features that, in today's Hyper-V, are not present."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"The solution is stable."
"It is very 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."
"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The technical support is good but it could improve by being faster."
"ometimes a server or machine shuts down and doesn't automatically restart."
"Hyper-V requires improvement with manageability."
"Hyper-V could benefit with improvements to their management interface."
"There are some storage problems which do occur in high load systems, especially SQL workloads."
"We'd like a template feature to help deploy VMs quickly."
"The backup site could be better. We used to face a lot of issues, and we are looking to solve that now. We are in the process of moving all the infrastructure to the cloud. It could also use more integration on the management part. We also need more integration on the monitoring sites."
"It needs additional administration and monitoring capabilities."
"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."
"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."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"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."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
