Oracle Solaris is a good solution, but I don't think it is widely used. Most companies prefer Linux or Windows. However, its security features are good. I rate the overall product a six out of ten. Users need to be mindful of the tool's flexibility.
It would be hard for a newbie with no experience with Oracle to learn about the product. I recommended the tool to those who plan to use it. At a point when I was looking to design my own database and make it look similar to Oracle Solaris, I realized that it could get expensive. I rate the overall tool a ten out of ten.

The platform is highly efficient and stable, offering a straightforward toolset compared to others. One notable advantage is its simplicity; where other operating systems might require four or five commands, Solaris typically accomplishes the same task with just one command. I would rat it nine out of ten.
We are customers and end-users. I'd advise potential users to use it. They have declared a long support life, and Solaris it will be supported until 2034. Although you don't see a future roadmap, they have declared support for the existing Solaris until 2034, which is a very long way to go. If you get it now, you know that you will still be able to use it for ten years. I'd rate the solution ten out of ten. It offers great flexibility.
I give the solution a nine out of ten. Unlike most Oracle products which are complex to set up this solution can be deployed with the help of the Oracle documentation for a UAT or IST integration case environment purpose. There are over 60 people using the solution in our organization. If cost is not an issue I recommend the solution.
In my observation in the last two to three years, the support for Oracle Solaris has dropped. Oracle is more moving into Linux platforms. I rate Oracle Solaris a six out of seven.
This product is stable, has good documentation, lots of solutions, a big community, and good support. Oracle Solaris is a good product, but it is expensive. Therefore, I would rate it at eight on a scale from one to ten.

The suitability of this product depends on the use case. There are other products that are more flexible and better to use these days. It was stable, so I would recommend it for some cases but more often than not, we wouldn't use it anymore. I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

If you downloaded Oracle databases you could use this solution but there are better solutions, such as Oracle Linux. Linux has proven to be better performance than Solaris in many aspects. If you approach Oracle and ask them, which one you should use Oracle Solaris or Oracle Linux, they would say Oracle Linux. I rate Oracle Solaris a seven out of ten.

I would prefer Linux then Oracle Solaris because it is more open. If you are in a commercial environment, then use a commercial Linux version, not a free version. We have seven customers using Red Hat, the support is very good, and there are hardly any issues. I will not recommend Solaris because of the attitude of Oracle, what we have experienced in the database, how they handle licenses, and legally. They are not a company that is fair and are very aggressively trying to get money. However, they provide a solid solution. I rate Oracle Solaris a nine out of ten.
I would recommend this solution. It is stable and safe but not easy to use. It is very good for Oracle applications. I would rate Oracle Solaris a seven out of ten.

We are just customers and end-users. We don't have a business relationship with Oracle. I would 100% recommend the solution to other organizations. The solution has been quite reliable and secure. For an enterprise environment, it's a great product. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

In our company, we don't use Oracle Solaris. As a person, I was employed as a Solaris System Administrator. I'm just a consultant. We don't use Oracle Solaris, because we're not big enough to use the solution ourselves. Overall, I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. I would highly recommend Oracle Solaris. It's a stable operating system and it's been around for a long time. If you're planning to have an Oracle Database, the best operating system for the Oracle Database is Oracle Solaris. If anybody is implementing a new solution or a new environment and thinks of putting in Oracle Database, the first option would be Oracle Solaris, then they can look at other OSs like Windows and Linux.
I would suggest that you test it in your environment. Start small and see what it can do, and reach out to me for any help. You'll see it is a solid solution that more people should adopt.

I always recommend Solaris because of its robustness, high availability, scalability, virtualization, excellent support, security and very good hardware.
Oracle Solaris is a trusted business platform that provides consistent compatibility, is simple to use, is always secure, and is designed to help you run your modern and legacy enterprise applications. The solution is the most recommended enterprise operating system for Oracle Database and Java applications and is engineered for large-scale enterprise deployments.

Best choice for professional workers: I personally suggest Oracle Solaris. I'm happy to test the Oracle Solaris 11.4 Beta.
Use deployment tools for automation and avoid doing everything manually. Deployment tools help to avoid errors and create a standardized environment.
