Oracle Solaris Reviews

It's solid in terms of security; secured systems.

In terms of monitoring, they have quite a bit right now, but it could be a little bit better, especially with all of the virtualized resources.

I have been using the database for 15 years.

It has been stable, pretty much.

Down time has not been because of the OS.

Under load, it has scaled well.

It will definitely meet our needs going into the future.

Technical support is pretty good. Sun used to support it, and now it’s Oracle. We use technical support mostly for the database, and now both the software, the OS, as well as the hardware, are all from the same vendor.

The company has had it for, pretty much, since I joined the company.

The upgrades are pretty straightforward, now-a-days. You can do live upgrades and things like that pretty well.

I definitely recommend it.

When I’m looking at vendors to work with, I definitely look for one with a good reputation of being reliable because that provides a solid foundation for the many components that will run on it. It's definitely not like the sort of software that you can get from some new start-up, which might provide more features and value. The product and the vendor have to be proven.
