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."It allowed us to add on servers and fix things in an expedient manner."
"The solution is easy to configure."
"Live migration, SMB3."
"It is a stable product."
"The most valuable features are ease of use, and it gets the job done in a straightforward manner."
"The simplicity and intuitiveness of the platform. It was a very simple adaptation, if you have any experience in virtualization."
"The flexibility and API are the most valuable features. It helps us be able to integrate with other systems and then push data easily."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to integrate the Hyper-Visor center from one console."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"It is very stable."
"The most valuable features of RHEV are all the tools, such as virtualization, management of cloud platforms, and integration of container environments. The solution has good compatibility between virtualization, content management, and cloud management. Having the full set of these tools is the advantage of it."
"It's a scalable solution."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"It's not completely stable because your stack becomes bloated."
"The operating system is very, very heavy."
"The solution should improve its native integration with other public cloud solutions."
"The solution is lacking in numerous features and lacks flexibility."
"It needs to improve compatibility with third party software."
"If I want to create a cluster of around five to 10 physical servers Hyper-V does not get integrated with any kind of virtual sense, such as vSense."
"Disaster recovery capabilities are the primary choice for improvement."
"In terms of performance, when compared to VMware, it is much slower."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"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."
"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."
"This solution could be more secure."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"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."
