RHEV is the best virtualization software
We are using RHEV for the virtualization of servers in our environment. Currently, we are using RHEV for nonproduction servers. The best part of RHEV is an open source product in virtualization technology, it is vendor-independent software and a lot more cost-effective and flexible than proprietary solutions. We are managing 100 plus Virtual machines with RHEV in our environment and using the hardware efficiently as well as saving the cost of our project.
- RHEV allow us to install the Operating system image on virtual machines very quickly.
- RHEV is an open-source tool, we can easily integrate the solution on any hardware and do a lot of customization.
- RHEV is manageable through a Graphical User Interface, which makes it easy for the end-user to manage the RHEV.
- Works well on Patching tasks.
- 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.

Using RHV with KVM is fantastic.
Due to its inclusion in RedHat, RHV is utilized as a one-stop solution for virtual environments. The installation expenses of such a system pose a significant challenge for businesses. We're utilizing RHV instead of VSphere since it's more cost-effective and easier to integrate with KVM.
- 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.
- If the aforementioned can't be done, additional open-source tool compatibility or support.

You don't know Virtualization until you've tried RHEV!
It's currently being used across the organization - it includes all the enterprise-grade features for a less overall TCO as compared to something like VMware's offerings. It's easy to use, manage, and provision and has rock-solid reliability. It's backed with the best support in the industry and uses KVM Virtualization under the hood which is used all throughout the industry by some of the top names (AWS and Rackspace to name a couple).
- Base licensing includes H/A and Live Migration features (you don't have to pay extra for them like VMware).
- It's all completely managed through a WebUI - no fat client you have to install.
- Very easy to use, manage, provision, and upgrade.
- It's definitely come a long ways from what it used to be and is certainly a lot easier - the initial setup/configuration used to be quite difficult but really isn't anymore.
- Better support and third-party integration for backup, snapshots, and restore of VMs like VEEAM for VMware - this is my only complaint. There are companies that offer solutions for RHEV however they're very limited and can be pricey.
- I think some improvement can be made for deploying micro and cloud services through RHEV.

RHEV is a great option as an open-source hypervisor!
RHEV is being used to implement an open-source hypervisor (KVM) with an easy-to-use front end for our customers. Our organization is exploring the feasibility of using it to deploy to multiple external locations in order to make management of VMs easy for remote administrators. It has a very well documented Python API, which makes automation easier to implement.
- Automation integration
- Migration of VMs from one physical host to another
- Support for open-source community projects, such as Gluster, Cinder, and Glance
- Product Q&A, regression testing, bug fix turnaround
- Standardization of deployment between the baseline products (e.g. stand-alone vs. appliance should support same configuration options)
- Improve WebUI navigation

Make way for RHEV
RHEV is used as a one stop solution for virtual environments due to it being part of the RedHat distro.
Business problems that come with this is the costs associated with the implementation of such a solution.

- Any issues/bugs with RHEV can be fixed by using bugzilla to get in contact with RH support. The support is fantastic and a reply is usually given fairly quickly.
- Integration into RedHat distro is seamless as it is already baked into it's kernel.
- Support for OpenStack allows for more customization with VM templates and advanced network configuration management.
- I would like to see more cloud automated solutions with RHEV with kickstarting nodes without external assistance with tools such as cobbler/foreman.
- If the above cant be done, then more compatibility or support for other open source tools.

RHEV is great for KVM
we are using RHEV as a replacement for VSphere as a cheaper and better integration with KVM
- Integrate with KVM
- Python API is easier
- integration with puppet and cobbler
- better documentation on issues
- Faster patch releases
- better integration with OVA
