We performed a comparison between RHEV and VMware VSphere based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Based on the parameters we compared, VMware VSphere got better user reviews. One major difference between the two solutions is that users say that RHEV’s scalability is not great.
"It's a scalable solution."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"It helps us with TCO."
"I like the standard features."
"It is a very dependable solution. Its performance is very good, and it is also easy to manage and implement."
"We use it to virtualize our server infrastructure. Virtualization has made it easier for us to manage our environment. We can manage it from location, the vSphere web client."
"The GUI is very simple to use."
"Vmware vSphere is the benchmark of the visualization market."
"It's a very useful solution. It's easy to set up, and it's pretty stable."
"The solution can scale well."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"The availability of technical expertise with the solution may be limited in some areas."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
"I'm using vSphere at a high level. Sometimes, I find it challenging to integrate different networks, but I think it's just my lack of knowledge."
"An improvement could be in terms of keeping up with the upgrades. The upgrades could be set in an automated way so that the newer features don't require you to manually update, or you get an option to update automatically. This would be a useful enhancement."
"The price could be better."
"I would like to see support for endpoint virtualization."
"Reducing the cost of vSphere would be an improvement."
"There is still room for improvement with the HTML5 Web Client. They are working on it, as I can see on their blog. However, there is still room for improvement in the newer features that they can push into it."
"The license fee could be more affordable."
"The support is good, but it's slow."
