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."The onboarding process is pretty straightforward."
"The core function enables multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical server. This maximizes hardware utilization and efficiency."
"The feature I find most valuable, is its performance"
"It is quite flexible and rugged. It is also easy to understand and user-friendly. It is not as complicated as some of the other solutions. It has its technicalities, but it is easy to understand. You can easily pick up in a short period of time and understand how to manage the infrastructure."
"Ability to move your virtual machines from one host to another."
"The most valuable features are being able to host many virtual machines and being able to patch machines."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Citrix is easy to use and is stable."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward and well-documented. The process is very similar to its competitors. The success of your setup depends on how well you plan."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"It is very stable."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is its pricing."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"Technically, the main reason why I'm using Red Hat is because of its stability."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"The solution needs better backup facilities that are available for virtual machines to create servers on."
"It needs improvement with the security features."
"The graphics user interface is pretty bad."
"The solution would benefit from faster technical support."
"The licensing costs are too high on the solution. They should work to make the costs more reasonable."
"There's a learning curve, especially for those coming from a Microsoft background. Setting it up and managing it can introduce some complexity."
"We'd like them to add more automation to the product."
"Live migration is something that can be improved."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
"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."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"The support is tricky in a few places. We're facing some challenges within Malaysia where we don't really have the system integrators available who can provide extended support. When we need personnel on-site, we can't get them."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
