We performed a comparison between openSUSE Leap and Oracle Solaris 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."The solution is very stable after it is configured. It is hard to have a panel slow, a problem, misconfiguration, or any kind of loss function."
"Stable - it just runs without the necessity to reboot."
"openSUSE Leap has helped me with using containers in Podman."
"I use openSUSE Leap as the base for the Kubernetes cluster we run in-house."
"The most valuable feature by far has been the virtualization capabilities of the operating system."
"The solution is easy for me to use because the backend is derived from FreeBSD and this is something I have been using for over 20 years."
"The backup capabilities are quite good."
"The product's most valuable feature is partitioning resources and optimizing hardware utilization effectively."
"Oracle Solaris provides an ease of use."
"Solaris' best feature is its stability."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"We use the solution as an internal operating system."
"Oracle Solaris is pre-installed in our environment. Thus, it is simple to customize."
"Oracle Solaris was the preferred operating system for their customers to run their databases on and to get the best performance. It performs well with Oracle applications. Additionally, there are some features inside that are called zones which are Linux containers."
"Like most Linux-based operating systems, the biggest challenge Leap faces is the GUI."
"There is room for improvement in the console."
"The initial system setup or network configuration of the solution is not straightforward and can be improved."
"I would like openSUSE Leap to have better link integration with Windows."
"In the future, the Active Directory could improve."
"Somehow the change from OS12.x via 13.x to Leap was a bit bumpy and some old issues seemed to reappear."
"The scalability of the solution can be improved."
"Oracle Solaris can improve by supporting all the recent features that are in the market from other competitors."
"I believe before Oracle was using Oracle Linux, they were using Oracle Solaris for their customers who are using Oracle databases. This was because it was more optimized for the hardware built for it. It has good performance for the database only. However, if you take it out of the Oracle applications, it will not do well compared to other operating systems, such as Linux or even Windows can have better performance."
"It would be helpful if the solution offered backend management. In the 11.4 version, Oracle added a management console. It would be great if we maybe had a user management tool to go with it."
"This product is not as flexible as other similar solutions on the market today."
"If it could support other file systems, it would be better."
"I would love to see improvements in SVM, so file systems could be increased or migrated without downtime to the environment, similar to what ZFS is capable of."
"Setting up Oracle Solaris can be complex because it requires more commands than other systems."
