Customers considering virtualization software can consider Oracle VM Server as their single-stop solution. The data centre managers should look at this as their first option. And certainly Oracle, with its long legacy in enterprise IT, knows how to build a powerful virtualization platform. Besides its free for Oracle customers makes it pretty unique in its own field.

Red Hat Virtualization is suitable for small implementation and hosting VMs. However, when you start asking for additional features or enhancements, the engineering team is not the flexible as other engineering teams in Red Hat. It is very likely they will not accept adding features or in the best case. They wouldn't commit to a plan when it is possible to be available.

  • RHV issues/bugs can be reported via Bugzilla to RH support. The service is great and typically responds soon.
  • Red Hat distribution integration is seamless as it is integrated into the kernel.
  • OpenStack support enables more customized VM templates and network configuration control.

Cons
  • Management/GUI is uncomfortable.
  • Remote control via VNC is hard to use with graphic interface and for terminal we have SSH configuration and maintenance is not as straight forward as in VMware, Xen or even Microsoft Hyper-V.

  • Documentation of RHEV needs more improvement.
  • RHEV GUI needs a lot of improvements in some versions of RHEV, GUI will not work properly (shows incorrect details of VM ).
  • Need fast rollout of patch releases.
  • Need good linux Knowledge to manage the RHEVM.

DigitalOcean has no development free tier, so for startups is not as convenient. DigitalOcean DNS system is way easier to use than Oracle's. DigitalOcean firewall is also easier to use and implement. On the other hand, DigitalOcean pricing is more expensive for big VMs (like 64 Gb and 8 CPUs) and above.

Red Hat Virtualization is the best enterprise-level virtualization software for an organization that needs cost-effective and flexible solutions for its environment. We can easily integrate RHEV with other Red Hat software like OpenStack...etc. RHEV is highly customizable software, which helps us to customize our environment. Since RHEV is an open-source tool, we can install it on any hardware. There is no proprietary dependency.
