User Testimonials
	Red Hat Virtualization (discontinued)	Workspot Desktop Cloud
Likelihood to Recommend	Red Hat Virtualization is suitable for small implementation and hosting VMs. However, when you start asking for additional features or enhancements, the engineering team is not the flexible as other engineering teams in Red Hat. It is very likely they will not accept adding features or in the best case. They wouldn't commit to a plan when it is possible to be available.

Pros	RHV issues/bugs can be reported via Bugzilla to RH support. The service is great and typically responds soon. Red Hat distribution integration is seamless as it is integrated into the kernel. OpenStack support enables more customized VM templates and network configuration control. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	Documentation of RHEV needs more improvement. RHEV GUI needs a lot of improvements in some versions of RHEV, GUI will not work properly (shows incorrect details of VM ). Need fast rollout of patch releases. Need good linux Knowledge to manage the RHEVM. Incentivized NS Naveen Sharma Consultant Read full review	No answers on this topic
