We performed a comparison between Oracle Linux and Windows 10 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."Oracle Linux has fulfilled all my requirements so far. It has very advanced features, especially the latest product for this Oracle in a cloud infrastructure."
"We find the consolidated support for this solution and other same vendor systems to be an extremely valuable feature. This allows for faster resolution of issues and consistency of support personnel."
"When it comes to my favorite features of Oracle Linux, I have been impressed with its ability to facilitate a smooth and efficient workflow system. This system is responsible for gathering data from multiple cameras and transferring this information to the backend systems. The system comprises around 10 to 12 servers, all of which are integrated into a highly reliable and redundant cluster setup. Currently, we are using Red Hat Linux for our production needs, however, we have plans to switch over to Oracle Linux in the near future. The reason for this change is due to the specialized nature of our system which precludes the use of cloud computing capabilities."
"It is a scalable solution."
"With Oracle Linux Ksplice specifically, we have organizations looking for minimum downtime. We're able to apply hot-patching at any time; once we've proven they're tested, ready to go, we don't need to take downtime to apply them."
"Very stable."
"The speed is quite good."
"The performance, feasibility, and flexibility of the I/O subsystem are valuable to us."
"I have found all the features to be valuable. I like the compatibility of Windows with other products, I can add applications. The general compatibility of Microsoft is good, I know that I can use all the Microsoft products."
"We use Windows 10 as an operating system for endpoints."
"When it's new it's very fast."
"Speaking about how the solution actually supports hardware compatibility compared to previous versions, I would say that it can pretty much work with almost any type of computer."
"One feature I have found most valuable is Windows Hello. Windows Hello brings in a password-less solution, wherein users don't need to type in their password. They can do biometric logins or pin-based logins."
"It's user-friendly."
"The solution is easy to use compared to other solutions, such as Mac OS. I am very familiar with Windows 10 since I have been using Windows since I was very young. It is always evolving to meet make new standards."
"My impression is that the security via windows defender is good enough that I no longer feel a need for another third-party security solution."
"I think the pricing could be improved to be more competitive."
"It does not have any reporting on attempted intrusions."
"I would want Oracle to explore more of Kubernetes and micro services."
"Oracle Linux, needs to support more packages."
"The installation documentation needs to be improved"
"There needs to be overall better integration."
"Time drifts happen frequently, and the database restarts automatically to protect data integrity."
"It will be better to consolidate all the features in one release instead of sporadic releases."
"Like all Windows products or like all the Microsoft products, like Office, it's priced a bit on the higher side."
"The apps view that I get on my screen is not much useful for me. If I have to search for anything, I go to the Search bar and type there. They can maybe include integration with some third-party products."
"The security could be improved. I have had colleagues who have gotten their files corrupted somehow."
"The stability of the product has certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"It could be more secure. We just want them to focus on security."
"The search feature could be improved."
"It should be more secure and should have an antivirus."
"While the stability is okay, it could always be better."
