We performed a comparison between Oracle Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Operating Systems (OS) for Business solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"The solution runs very well on inter-platform or HPE Intel servers."
"I like that it's very stable and lightweight and that it requires very little resources."
"The stability of Oracle Linux is good."
"One of the main features of this solution is it is secure."
"Oracle Linux for Oracle databases is the top. There's no doubt whatsoever."
"I like the product's stable distribution. The tool offered us very good experience since it was very stable."
"The stability is excellent and the initial setup is easy."
"There are several valuable features in Oracle Linux. For example, it's very secure and stable. You don't have to reboot it frequently."
"From a functionality perspective, the suite is quite rich. We like that."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the installation part...We don't face any issues related to the operating system or application."
"It is a stable platform."
"The operating system is efficient in terms of security."
"The main feature is that Linux is flexible to work with for most web-based applications."
"The stability of the solution is good. We have not had any issue with performance."
"The initial setup is simple and takes five minutes for deployment and if you have automation in place, it will take four minutes."
"It's a flexible solution."
"The main challenge for new users of Linux is the command-line interface (CLI). It can be intimidating if you're not familiar with it."
"What can improve in the solution is a rather challenging question given that Oracle is pushing towards cloud computing and the closed nature of the system. Maintaining Oracle Linux behind a firewall can be a cumbersome process, as it requires manual intervention to copy repositories and obtain approval from internal authorities. With the current emphasis on cloud computing, the support and development of traditional, closed systems like Oracle Linux may not receive as much attention, leading to potential limitations in the system's capabilities and performance."
"I would want Oracle to explore more of Kubernetes and micro services."
"They should improve in the area of entertainment applications for the average user."
"They should increase security."
"The graphic interface could be improved to work better in a desktop environment."
"The solution could be less costly."
"Most day-to-day applications are not native to this solution. You have to run an emulator or virtual machine, such as VMware to access these Windows applications."
"When working in a Department of Defense environment, Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) have to be followed. SLES is not really addressed directly here. It did make following security policy difficult."
"The price of SUSE Linux Enterprise could improve, it is too expensive."
"SUSE could make more APIs available."
"The product must improve its UI."
"The solution could be more stable."
"I have not been overly impressed with their technical support."
"I don't like the frequency of updates, especially if they're only from the vendor."
"The platform doesn't support certain APMs."
