Offers good security features and reliability
In my company, Oracle Solaris is linked to our CRM, which serves as a database of information. For security companies, we have monthly subscriptions to check their credit scores and everything, and the tool is also linked with the Home Affairs department for verification since it is a database that…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use the product to run applications and devices."
"Bookmarking is very good because they are synchronized across all devices."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its browser, which offers good performance."
"Google Sheets and Google Docs are the most valuable features of the solution."
"The solution has been stable."
"The best part of Chrome is security."
"Google Chrome's reliability is a valuable feature, providing consistent and comprehensive search results."
"Solaris's best features are high availability, robustness, and database hosting."
"One of the main advantages is the rock-solid reliability. It works. The stability is very good. It has a very good track record in the data security database."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution. I recommend it for bigger companies."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"It works well. It is very stable and very good. It is also very safe. It cannot be easily infected by viruses or attacks."
"One of the main features of this solution is the ease of use."
"Oracle Solaris was the preferred operating system for their customers to run their databases on and to get the best performance. It performs well with Oracle applications. Additionally, there are some features inside that are called zones which are Linux containers."
 

Cons

"The performance could be faster."
"Google Chrome Enterprise doesn't use AI in its solution."
"The solution's interface is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"There is a need for improved features to refine search results and narrow them down efficiently."
"You still need to have a pretty good understanding of GCP to deploy it properly."
"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."
"The solution could be made cheaper."
"Identifying areas for improvement can be challenging since Chrome consistently strives to enhance itself. One aspect I'd like to highlight is virtualization. For instance, if you require desktop-based applications like Cisco or Adobe products on your local machine, Chrome's support is limited. While they offer Linux solutions for virtualization, my query or request would be to expand this to include Windows-based applications. If this were implemented, it would be a valuable enhancement, encouraging broader adoption by companies."
"If it could support other file systems, it would be better."
"I don't want to receive any updates on Oracle"
"It is not easy to use. It doesn't have a user-friendly interface. It should be easy to use. We are planning to move from Solaris to Linux because Linux is more flexible and user-friendly. Its installation should also be easier. Solaris also needs specific hardware to work well, which is another reason why we are moving to Linux. It should be more flexible in terms of hardware. It should have better integration with other hardware platforms."
"They could also enable Oracle OEM for x86 architecture as well."
"The tool is quite complex and difficult for anyone trying to use or study it."
"The primary drawback with this product is the lack of version updates."
"The Solaris code is open, and the documentation is accessible to all, not only to registered users. Also, the documentation does not support some solutions, and there are no other options."
"One of the drawbacks is Oracle itself. Oracle has its good and bad they are not putting resources into the development."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Google Chrome Enterprise is a medium-priced solution."
"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."
"The product price is very good in my opinion."
"Its licensing is on a yearly basis."
"The current setup with hardware devices involves a higher cost, but the performance is top-notch."
"The price of Oracle Solaris could be less expensive."
"The product is inexpensive."
"It is a very expensive product."
"If you buy Oracle hardware it's supported free with the hardware. If you're putting it on non-Oracle hardware, that is when you buy the support license, which is also very reasonable. It is $1000 dollars per year, so it's not overly expensive."
"The solution is expensive and is based on an annual fee."
"The annual license cost is fair and reasonable."
