Oracle Linux Reviews

We use the solution as a database and operating system. 

The tool's performance is good. 

The product's support is expensive. 

I have been using the solution for two years. 

The tool's stability is good. I would rate the product's stability a ten out of ten. 

The product is scalable. We have 1500 users for the solution. 

The tool's tech support is good. 

The product's setup is easy. The software's setup took six months to complete. We required a team of seven members consisting of developers and engineers to deploy the solution. 

We sought the help of other people to deploy the solution. 

The product's pricing is cheap. The tool's pricing is yearly. 

I would rate the solution a ten out of ten. 

I use it for security on our servers.

Security is the most valuable feature.

The configuration with Oracle database and Oracle Center databases is easy.

The documentation has room for improvement. We have difficulty searching through it for specific information. 

The scalability has room for improvement.

I have been using the solution for one year.

I give the stability an eight out of ten. Some of the setups are not supported by Oracle Linux.

The solution is not very scalable. There is not a lot of documentation around scaling.

The initial setup is complex compared to Windows. We have to install Oracle Linux on our on-prem server.

I give the solution a seven out of ten.

There were around four people using the solution.

I would not recommend Oracle Linux.

The tool’s password policies help us to create users and groups. We can also plan on the access that will be given to them. I use it for identity management during the installment and configuration process. We use it to start or stop processes and services. Another use case of the solution is post-opening.

The tool’s user interface needs to improve.

I have been using the solution for around seven to six years.

The tool’s stability depends on the system. The operating system’s stability is good. 

We have around 800 server systems. Our company has about 400 users of Linux. We plan to increase the usage.

The tool’s setup is straightforward. The installation is not complex, we can do it on our own. My team installed the product through the Command Line and GNU. The installation takes around two hours to complete. We completed two sets of operating systems. The tool’s installation depends on the target components. The access management part takes around one week to complete. We have around eight technical staff for the product.

I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We primarily use the solution as an operating system for our internal systems.

The solution’s valuable features are flexibility, stability, and security. It's secure in terms of the network, the viruses, etc.

They should improve in the area of entertainment applications for the average user. That includes music, video, and gaming applications.

We have been using the solution since the year 2005.

If you use the solution as an HTTP server, it can serve 1000 users simultaneously.

The setup is easy, but you must know your exact requirements. Oracle Linux has millions of features. You have to be precise in picking up the features, such as deciding whether you want an FTP server or HTTP server, or both, or you want more. Everything can be modified afterward. The deployment time depends on the server's configuration, but it takes around 30-60 minutes. 

I have always known that Linux is the real deal. I advise others to use Oracle Linux for a server or an enterprise where they have to host a service. The variations of Linux, like AIX, are complicated in implementation and maintenance. Oracle Linux is more accessible in that part. I rate the solution as an eight.

We use the product in a development environment for development purposes only.

As a developer, I interact mostly with the product's shell. I'm experienced in programming in shell.

Oracle Linux in a VirtualBox provides a good, stable development environment without needing patches and with no hanging.  

The graphical interface is fine. And the documentation is extremely valuable. 

The Oracle Linux graphical interface could be improved by fixing its occasional freezing on personal home laptops. The Oracle Linux development environment in VirtualBox never freezes.

The service could also be improved if the cost of Oracle support was not so expensive.

We've been using the product for more than a year.

The solution is stable.

I have a free version of the product without support. So far, all the answers I've needed were in the extensive Oracle documentation.

Positive

Our previous development environment used to crash in the virtual machine; it was slower, not well integrated with Oracle VM Box, and the support was poor.

Before that, we used Windows 7, which crashed twice, forcing us to start everything from scratch. This is why we switched to Linux.

The initial setup was straightforward, and deployment took less than an hour.

We use the product as a virtual machine in a development environment for development purposes only. We still do not use Oracle Cloud. The company is oriented towards Amazon Web Services, but on Oracle Linux, we are playing with Kubernetes and Docker.

I don't use the Oracle Linux administrative dashboard.

The product is stable and up to date. The Linux command prompt is always the same. I just fit it, and it suits my needs. That's why I would recommend it.

I would rate Oracle Linux a nine out of ten.

We were using Oracle Linux for moving the SAP on Oracle workloads to the cloud.

Overall Oracle Linux is very good.

The price of Oracle Linux should improve, it is expensive compared to other solutions.

I have been using Oracle Linux for approximately three years.

We have ad a very good experience with Oracle Linux, and we have been happy.

Oracle Linux is in the cloud making it very scalable.

The scalability of Oracle Linux can depend on many factors. We are currently working on a UK project, it changes completely. For those systems, approximately 600 to 800 users work on those SAP systems which are hosted on Oracle Linux.

We are using close to 55 VMs now in our current project.

My colleagues who are junior architects have contacted the support and the feedback has been great.

We switched from Red Hat to Oracle Linux. 

Oracle Linux was not our first choice but it was our company requirement.

Oracle Linux's setup is straightforward. The process was no different for us as compared to Red Hat or SUSE.

The implementation of Oracle Linux was done in-house.

The number of people needed to implement and support Oracle Linux depends on the duration of the project and the number of VMs. In the current project that we're working on, we have close to 60 Oracle VMs and, over a period of four to six months, we did the implementation with one engineer, it is fairly simple.

Oracle Linux license and support are far more expensive than Red Hat or SUSE.

I rate Oracle Linux an eight out of ten.

I like that it's very stable and lightweight and that it requires very little resources.

Performance can always be improved.

We have been using this solution for about ten years.

It's highly stable.

The technical support is good, and I would rate it at eight on a scale from one to ten.

Positive

We were using HP-UX previously, but HP-UX had problems with Oracle. The licensing costs skyrocketed. Also, Oracle stopped supporting databases on Unix. Unix as an operating system seems to have died out; nobody uses it now.

Implementation takes time, but once you have done it, you can forget about it. It's highly stable.

We implemented it ourselves.

We have a yearly license, and I think Oracle charges too much.

I would recommend any Linux product. However, I would prefer Ubuntu Linux because Oracle costs too much.

I would rate Oracle Linux at eight on a scale from one to ten.

We are using Oracle Linux for server systems.

I have been using Oracle Linux for approximately one year.

The stability of Oracle Linux is good.

Oracle Linux is scalable, We have thousands of systems running on it.

We have no plans to increase usage but we are only maintaining what we have.

I would rate the support from Oracle a four out of five.

We have previously used CentOS, which is quite different from Oracle Linux. and Red Hat because we are running Oracle databases.

The initial setup is reasonably straightforward.

We did the implementation of Oracle Linux in-house. We have two people who are supporting this solution.

The price of Oracle Linux is similar to Red Hat. That's the reason why we went, with a combination of CentOS and Red Hat, and then later to all Oracle Linux. We not do not have to maintain two different solutions.

If you choose the support there are additional costs but there are not any other costs.

The price of Oracle Linux overall could be less expensive.

Oracle Linux is very good. Oracle has put a good amount of effort into enhancing it from generic, plain Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Oracle's purposes. The support is good, it is all we asked for.

I rate Oracle Linux a nine out of ten.
