"The whole solution is good. It has good tools that help me in managing the servers. It is also stable."
"It fits in well with our organization. It works and does what it says it does."
"In addition to the virtualization, the firewall and the routing functions that it provides are valuable."
"The setup is very easy."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is that its storage container, LVM, and everything else work out of the box."
"That the product is free and still has all the features you expect is a huge benefit."

"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."
"It is very stable."
"It's a scalable solution."
"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."
"A feature which should be added is the ability to encrypt the main installation."
"We have only command lines for a management application to remove sites. The solution needs a proper GUI."
"The documentation in Proxmox VE could improve."
"It might be interesting to have the ability to integrate with other cloud solutions."

"We are using servers individually, and we are looking for a reliable application that allows us to hop between servers with high availability."
"It is a good solution, but it is very complicated in some ways. It is not easy. You must have experience in the console mode to do some configurations. A lot of documentation and YouTube videos are available that you can use to learn about it."
"It could have more security updates such as when a new threat is coming into market."
"This solution could be more secure."
"RHEV can improve by keeping pace with new features and new enhancements. They should not be halted or delayed innovation because over the past quarter the enhancements have not been as fast as they have been previously."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"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."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"When we do a direct comparison, then obviously VMware does better in terms of having Fault Tolerance and doing active disaster recovery and these kind of things. This is something that can be improved within Red Hat."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
