Reliable and enhances research efficiency but needs more detailed search filters
We use Google Chrome primarily for research purposes. In our enterprise environment, we research articles, find competitors, and conduct normal industry research Our use of Google Chrome allows us to conduct secondary research efficiently and aids in finding competitor information. Google…
Zandile Mushi - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers good security features and reliability
The tool is quite complex and difficult for anyone trying to use or study it. The complexity of learning the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required. Oracle Solaris' lighter and simpler version can be introduced. I feel that Oracle Solaris is a user-friendly tool because I am exposed to it.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Bookmarking is very good because they are synchronized across all devices."
"Chrome functions as a comprehensive solution due to its continuous self-evaluation and improvement. The evolution process has been significant, with a notable distance covered from its inception to the present. Notably, features like VPN support have been incorporated over time, enhancing the platform's capabilities. A distinctive feature is that users don't even need to know the Wi-Fi password; upon signing into the machine, internet connectivity is established immediately. Furthermore, the cloud storage system ensures data isn't stored locally, making it seamless for users to switch between machines. In summary, Google Chrome Enterprise is an excellent solution, particularly when there's a shortage of available manpower."
"Google Chrome Enterprise is a stable solution with good performance."
"The solution has been stable."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Chrome Enterprise is really easy to deploy and manage."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The breadth and capability of the various extensions and plug-ins that are out there for Chrome to do additional things on top of just working in the browser are fantastic."
"Solaris' best feature is its stability."
"The ability to manipulate the zones and the files within the zones from a global OS provides us flexibility that no other virtualization can match."
"Its networking has helped me combine the power of a neural network with the benefits of virtualization to improve the AI's performance."
"We are able to deploy new environments very quickly and securely. Using the virtualization features, we can migrate the environments very flexibly between our servers."
"Solaris Zones and Containers are my favorite features."
"It stands out for its exceptional stability."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of setup."
"Oracle Solaris is pre-installed in our environment. Thus, it is simple to customize."
 

Cons

"The product's stability can be better."
"Chromebooks are hard to find in the Indonesian market."
"Additional data security and data privacy features could be proactively recommended by Google."
"The solution could be made cheaper."
"I wish there was a way that they could update things a little less often if anything. I think a lot of enterprise customers are frustrated... Certain plug-ins like ad blockers will lose some functionality in the next quarter to half a year."
"There is a need for improved features to refine search results and narrow them down efficiently."
"The performance could be faster."
"Google Chrome Enterprise doesn't use AI in its solution."
"Oracle Solaris can improve by supporting all the recent features that are in the market from other competitors."
"When we switch over to Solaris it was not easy because we had some troubles with the performance. Solaris is from Oracle and you would expect that it would run flawlessly, but we had some issues in sizing the previous Linux environment to the Solaris environment."
"Red Hat Enterprise Linux is more secure and better documented. So Oracle could learn from them when it comes to security and documentation."
"Solaris is not easy to use. It needs better GUI, UI, and configuration tools."
"One of the drawbacks is Oracle itself. Oracle has its good and bad they are not putting resources into the development."
"There is an issue where Solaris doesn't give the correct figures for memory use when checked."
"More monitoring tools could be included in the product."
"It would be helpful if the solution offered backend management. In the 11.4 version, Oracle added a management console. It would be great if we maybe had a user management tool to go with it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing varies significantly based on different regions and specific requirements. The cost can differ for the Euro price as opposed to the Asia-specific price. Generally, the standard pricing falls within the range of twenty-five to thirty dollars per license. This payment can be structured on a monthly or yearly basis. Opting for the yearly payment plan often comes with an added discount, either directly from Google or through negotiations with your vendor."
"Yearly payments are to be made towards the licensing costs of Google Chrome Enterprise. It is not an expensive solution. I rate the solution's pricing model a six out of ten. There is a need to pay an extra cost in addition to the solution's standard licensing fees."
"We are on a monthly subscription for this solution."
"So all I can say is just for us since we just recently re-upped our three-year contract for Google Education Enterprise, whatever the name is for their highest level enterprise...I found the pricing to be pretty reasonable overall."
"Google Chrome Enterprise is a medium-priced solution."
"The product price is very good in my opinion."
"We don't use an authorized license."
"Solaris is highly priced compared to other solutions, but since it's a niche product, this is to be expected."
"The product is inexpensive."
"It is more expensive, but very complete and worth enacting."
"It is a very expensive product."
"It is an expensive product. I rate the pricing a ten out of ten."
"The price is not good and needs to improve."
"There should be an option to install the solution for free and just pay for the support. We purchased an annual license and the price could be better."
