We performed a comparison between Citrix Hypervisor 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."What I like the most is the support of the GPU Graphics and the VM Live migration."
"Citrix Hypervisor integrates easily and I can manage the infrastructure better. If I need to take a machine down to expand the hard drive, I do not have to physically be here. I do not need to order new equipment or new hard drives. I can shut it down, increase the drive space and bring it back up."
"The ability to move a virtual machine while it is running is a big advantage."
"Ability to move your virtual machines from one host to another."
"Citrix Hypervisor is quick to deploy and easy to manage."
"The solution's security is its most valuable aspect."
"The support for this solution is phenomenal."
"The solution is extremely stable."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"It needs improvement with the security features."
"I find that the features in Citrix Hypervisor are not as rich as with VMware. It would be a benefit if they had some of the other features VMware has, such as the ability to expand a drive on the fly. You do not have to take down the machine to do it but in Citrix you do."
"The solution is too expensive and people are kind of moving away from Citrix. It's starting to become a problem. It is a primary reason that while we are rebuilding we're going to seek out open-source solutions."
"I think the technical support could be better."
"The USB support for the virtual server needs improvement."
"The solution would benefit from faster technical support."
"The built-in networking features are a little limited."
"The main problem with Citrix Hypervisor is getting readily available backup solutions for it. It would be wonderful if Hypervisor were better integrated with third-party backup solutions."
"In comparison to VMware, this solution isn't as stable. We're testing it right now, and we're not trusting the stability of the product."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"It would be better to have more patches, especially kernel-level updates, live and online so that we can keep the business up and running during this period."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
