We performed a comparison between Proxmox VE 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."Less infrastructure required; simple to use."
"It is a community-based solution."
"It is easier to balance loads across hypervisors if a given container or virtual machine uses more resources than its peers."
"The most valuable feature of Proxmox VE is its ease of use."
"The most valuable features of Proxmox VE are the ease of containerization. Overall the solution is generic, feature-rich, and has compatibility."
"The most valuable feature of Proxmox VE is the linked clone."
"We are happy with Proxmox VE. We use it as part of a cluster."
"The backup service, which was released recently, and that we are already using, is wonderful."
"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's a scalable solution."
"The solution is stable."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"The process for deployment is complicated."
"Proxmox needs to improve the integration of its network, machines, and virtual machines."
"Separate physical network for Corosync/Heartbeat should be emphasized in the Quick Start or Getting Started documentation."
"Proxmox VE needs to make a deal with Veeam. I was also unable to make version upgrades. I have also encountered backup problems."
"It would be nice to have total CPU and RAM allocations show for all VMs/CTs to avoid overloading an individual hypervisor."
"Proxmox VE can improve by importing OVF or OVA files directly from OVA. I need to convert all the images to raw images before importing them to Proxmox VE. If there is a solution that I can import directly from VMDK, it would be better."
"Lacking in enterprise features."
"We are using servers individually, and we are looking for a reliable application that allows us to hop between servers with high availability."
"This solution could be more secure."
"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."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"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."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"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."
