I would prefer if KVM was easier to scale and not so limited. Overall the product has been helpful. It is easy to use, and was quite straight-forward to set up. Since I have been using KVM, I have not experienced any crashes, glitches, or bugs. While it performs well, it needs better business continuity features as well as better integration with desktop virtualization and management features. When compared with other virtualization features, I find KVM to be much faster. Even though the solution can be used for free, a major disappointment for me is that if you are not fluent with Linux knowledge, you might have trouble because you cannot run this application just using GUI on its own.
Oracle VM seems to me to be kind of outdated. However, because it is not as up-to-date as KVM, it is fairly straightforward to use and maintain. Because I can just set it and forget it, I consider the scalability to be quite good. Oracle VM’s customer service and technical support are really outstanding. Being able to manage my costs is a plus for me, and using Oracle VM makes that possible. I also prefer that with Oracle VM I have the ability to patch with no downtime.
Conclusion
Both Oracle VM and KVM have their pros and cons. In my opinion, I found Oracle VM to be much more suitable, between the price and the ease of use. But you will have to make that decision for yourself based on what is most appropriate for your organizational needs and requirements.
Oracle VM and KVM compete in the virtualization technology sector. Oracle VM holds an advantage due to its compatibility and cost-efficiency within Oracle environments, particularly benefiting from Oracle licensing terms. In contrast, KVM is favored for its open-source nature and cost efficiency across diverse platforms.Features: Oracle VM has strong compatibility with Oracle databases, supports up to 160 CPUs, and offers robust management tools, live migration, and scalability. It thrives...
