SUSE Linux Enterprise Reviews

My customers are happy with the features and the stability of the code. Also the availability of extended support of each version for a few years after normal support ends. Unique advantages are offered by the special edition SES for SAP applications.

I have been using SUSE Linux Enterprise for approximately three years.

The solution is very stable.

SUSE Linux Enterprise is scalable.

I don't have personal experience with the support - however my experience with selling subscription and support contracts over the years indicates that vendor support is adequate because end-users are happy.

Positive

I have dealt with the Red Hat solution. 

I am not an end-user deploying the solution, so  ROI is not really applicable. However, as the subscription price of the solution is quite lower than comparatively featured Enterprise Linux Server offerings, the ROI should be correspondingly higher.

As with all commercially supported open source software, there is no license fee for this solution, users buy annual or multi-year support subscriptions.

I do recommend this solution to customers who deploy enterprise open source linux systems. If customers order it we sell it to them.

I rate SUSE Linux Enterprise a nine out of ten.

We have a large user base and applications that are distributed. So some are on Unix, and others are on Windows.

Linux is easy to use. You have more control on a Unix system.

SUSE could make more APIs available.

We've been using Linux Enterprise for almost two years.

Linux Enterprise is quite stable.

We haven't had to contact SUSE support thus far.

The price of Linux Enterprise could be lower.

I rate SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 out of 10.

The solution can be useful for operating systems, such as running certain applications. We use it as a community solution. 

In the next release it would be nice to see more integration and better automation of processes. 

I have been using SUSE Linux Enterprise for around 20 years. 

The performance is good. I am satisfied with it. 

We have a maintenance contract with Oradist, which is the Oracle firm in Tunisia. 

I was not involved in the installation. I am part of the development team, am responsible for the integration of our solution and belong to the BI team. I use Pentaho Business Intelligence and take advantage of the community.

We have 16 people responsible for the deployment and maintenance. 

The license we pay is for Oracle. We make use of the community edition. 

While I don't install the solution, I use it as part of the development team.

The solution is easy to use, secure and allows for simple manipulation. 

I feel no need to modify the interface or GUI. 

The solution comprises our entire server. We have many people who make use of the solution. 

I recommend the solution to others, both SUSE OS and Oracle Database. 

I rate SUSE Linux Enterprise as a ten out of ten. 

We use this as our operating system. It's a platform to deploy solutions.

I have not experienced any issues with this operating system.

The initial setup could be simplified.

I would like to see integration with other solutions.

I have been working with SUSE Linux Enterprise for three years.

It's a stable solution. I have not experienced any issues.

SUSE Linux Enterprise is a scalable product.

We have approximately 200 users in our organization.

Technical support is okay.

I have been working with the cloud version of Microsoft. NET Framework for 10 years. We use it for administration processes and finance.

The initial setup is a bit complex. You need to have an expert with the expertise to assist you, but, it doesn't take a lot time.

We have a team of five people to maintain this solution.

You definitely need the help of an consultant for the installation.

I have to pay for a license in order to get support.

I am responsible for project management. I follow up and track the progress and provide reviews to the customers.

I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it. That said, there is always room for improvement.

I would rate SUSE Linux Enterprise an eight out of ten.

SuSe has an offline repository in DVD media. It's easy to use, although not as easy as Ubuntu is.

The administration tools are very useful.

We use it as a webserver: DNS Server and LDAP server.

The updating package:

We had trouble installing packages outside of the repository.
There were often conflicts in the existing version;

A depends on B, B depends on C, and etc...so we must upgrade to C and B before installing A.

Since 2010.

So far the use is very stable and we've never experienced any constraints.

No.

We do not pay for a subscription, so we do not get support. But out there, there are a lot of forums that can help us to solve the problem.

Previously, we used Microsoft products. The expensive license fees made us switch to open source.

Compared to Windows, use is more stable and scalable; easy to manage.

Initial setup is straightforward. They have a very good GUI/user interface.

We're not subscribed to any support. So far, without a subscription, there are no obstacles.

We've tried some Linux distro.
Limited internet connection made us look for distros which have repository on DVD.
Ubuntu may be the best choice for beginners if you have reliable internet access.

Look for products that have broad support and community, because it is very helpful when experiencing problems.

We are using SUSE Linux Enterprise for application management.

The interface could improve.

We installed this solution seven years ago and we are not using it very much. I have been using this solution for approximately six years.

The stability of the solution is good. We have not had any issue with performance.

We have not had any issue with the scalability.

We have approximately five people using this solution in my organization.

The installation was not difficult.

The deployment took a team of two and if you had administrators it would be convenient.

There is a free tier and a paid support tier. If you do not need support, then the solution is free to use. If you need support then there is an option for that as well.

We are not using this solution very much anymore and we are moving away from this platform.

I rate SUSE Linux Enterprise an eight out of ten.

SUSE Linux Enterprise is a critical component. We also use it with SUSE Rancher. 

This solution is used to run the master node of Kubernetes and Rancher, which are co-dependent, and it does not run on Windows.

It is very powerful and different from Windows.

It is very simple to use.

You don't have to click, you just enter the commands.

It's a flexible solution.

I would like to see GUI improved, it could be more user-friendly.

I have been using SUSE Linux Enterprise for seven months.

SUSE Linux Enterprise is a stable product.

Technical support is very strong. Many resources can be found on the internet.

They offer enterprise-level support, similar to Red Hat and SUSE.

We are satisfied with the technical support.

If you are a technical person, the setup is easy, but if you are not, it can be quite complex.

Anyone can use Linux because it is open-source. If you require technical assistance, you will have to pay for it.

I don't have a lot of experience with this solution, I have recently completed my MCA, as well as my internship.

I would rate SUSE Linux Enterprise a ten out of ten.
