User Testimonials
	Oracle Virtualization	Red Hat OpenStack Platform
Likelihood to Recommend	Oracle Well suited: development work as they provide a very nice free tier, datacenters in Latin America with very low ping, heavy loads for DB if you use Oracle DB Less appropriate: fast webservers as they use hard disks for several tiers, fast MySQL databases as the server is shared, auto-scaling functionality is not present. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Red Hat Best suited for - any organization where you have people who already have expertise on OpenStack, Linux & IP networking. Otherwise, the maintenance & operations will be difficult. When the number of deployed VMs reaches its capacity, it becomes very difficult to manage Red Hat OpenStack because there are no in-built fault management & performance management tools available within Red Hat OpenStack. Not suited for - Organizations where people have a culture of working on automated GUI-based tools. Here VMware wins over Red Hat OpenStack. Also where you have mission-critical applications where downtime cannot be tolerated. Incentivized Asad Khan Technical CARE Specialist Read full review
Pros	Oracle Installation and setup of VM Server are pretty straight forward. Many different guest operating systems are supported. There can be up to 128 virtual machines per physical server. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Red Hat Scaling of application components (VMs). Managing the networking between virtual machines. Management of VNFs & the underlying infrastructure. Availability & uptime of VMs because of features like VM migration & evacuation. Incentivized Asad Khan Technical CARE Specialist Read full review
Cons	Oracle Platform designer Support material Incentivized Gledson Rodrigues Analista de Rede 2 Read full review	Red Hat User management really needs improvement - when compared to AWS or GCP. Security of the overall platform needs to be improved. The whole architecture needs to be modular which is not. Ex - Upgrading any particular component (nova, neutron, cinder) should be possible without upgrading the whole Red Hat OpenStack version. The creation of HEAT templates for complex applications is still a challenge & has a dependency on external tools. Stack creation still requires parameters modification at controllers & compute because of the complex nova-scheduler algorithm. Incentivized Asad Khan Technical CARE Specialist Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Oracle Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Red Hat Only because of low cost & zero licensing of Red Hat OpenStack Incentivized Asad Khan Technical CARE Specialist Read full review
Return on Investment	Oracle Saved us licenses fees while we upgrade to a virtual environment and redundancies servers Forced me to manage another hard to manage virtual environment Incentivized Itsik Tsarfati IT Director Read full review	Red Hat Saved CAPEX for sure (I can't quote a figure). Saved Opex also - because a large support community is already available. Increased complexity of system setup though. Incentivized Asad Khan Technical CARE Specialist Read full review
