We performed a comparison between Oracle Solaris 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."Solaris' best feature is its stability."
"The product's most valuable feature is partitioning resources and optimizing hardware utilization effectively."
"Solaris Zones and Containers are my favorite features."
"Its networking has helped me combine the power of a neural network with the benefits of virtualization to improve the AI's performance."
"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."
"We like that the virtualization is built in, so you don't have to spend extra money on buying licenses for a hypervisor."
"Oracle Solaris is great due to the fact that it actually is meant for high-end servers."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The installation process is pretty easy."
"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."
"In terms of most valuable feature, it has all the features. We have to use the workforce application like Microsoft Office 365. We are dependent on the operating system."
"Windows 10 is easy to use."
"Windows 10 is easy to use and has good performance."
"I am impressed with the tool's Microsoft Office products and its functionality."
"The performance is decent. I don't see many incidents of it crashing."
"The product is easy to use."
"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."
"Oracle Solaris can improve by supporting all the recent features that are in the market from other competitors."
"There is an issue where Solaris doesn't give the correct figures for memory use when checked."
"Oracle customer service is slow at times."
"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 tool is quite complex and difficult for anyone trying to use or study it."
"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."
"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."
"The stability could improve and it could be more secure."
"At the beginning of the year, there was a Windows patch update that created a lot of problems for our customers. They kept on getting the blue screen."
"It could be more stable."
"The enterprise version I have contains many things that are not intended to be enterprise; they are intended for home customers. This includes things like some games and some stuff like that."
"Stability-wise, it's okay. Sometimes my laptop slows down when I have a lot of applications open, but this could be a laptop issue rather than a Windows 10 issue."
"There are times I have slow performance on my laptop using Windows 10 but I am not sure if it is the laptop hardware or the solution."
"The installation consumes a lot of space and the response time is not as fast as it should be."
"I prefer Linux over Windows 10 because the command prompt is better in Linux."
