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."We use the solution as an internal operating system."
"The backup capabilities are quite good."
"The ability to manipulate the zones and the files within the zones from a global OS provides us flexibility that no other virtualization can match."
"Oracle Solaris is pre-installed in our environment. Thus, it is simple to customize."
"It is a scalable solution. I recommend it for bigger companies."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"Solaris is scalable because they have their own file system, like CFS."
"One of the main features of this solution is the ease of use."
"It is very easy to maintain, migrate and upgrade."
"Out-of-the-box SLES supported all of our HBAs and hardware specific components."
"The operating system is efficient in terms of security."
"From a functionality perspective, the suite is quite rich. We like that."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the installation part...We don't face any issues related to the operating system or application."
"It is a stable platform."
"The technical support services are good."
"The initial setup is simple and takes five minutes for deployment and if you have automation in place, it will take four minutes."
"Oracle Solaris can improve by supporting all the recent features that are in the market from other competitors."
"Oracle customer service is slow at times."
"The tool is quite complex and difficult for anyone trying to use or study it."
"More monitoring tools could be included in the product."
"It is not easy to use. It doesn't have a user-friendly interface. It should be easy to use. We are planning to move from Solaris to Linux because Linux is more flexible and user-friendly. Its installation should also be easier. Solaris also needs specific hardware to work well, which is another reason why we are moving to Linux. It should be more flexible in terms of hardware. It should have better integration with other hardware platforms."
"The Solaris code is open, and the documentation is accessible to all, not only to registered users. Also, the documentation does not support some solutions, and there are no other options."
"When we switch over to Solaris it was not easy because we had some troubles with the performance. Solaris is from Oracle and you would expect that it would run flawlessly, but we had some issues in sizing the previous Linux environment to the Solaris environment."
"The challenge arises from the differences in commands and configurations compared to more common systems like Linux."
"If you want to do something simple like changing an IP number, you have to be quite aware of all the configuration files where you will change that."
"The price of SUSE Linux Enterprise could improve, it is too expensive."
"They should provide chatbot support for customers to open the troubleshooting cases directly."
"Red Hat has more packages that are available than SUSE does. I'd love to see more projects based on SUSE."
"The product must improve its UI."
"I would like to see better functionality for interacting with cloud-based systems."
"The solution could be more stable."
"We have had trouble integrating Autodesk with the SUSE manager."
