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."It is a good solution, and the performance is good."
"The main business advantage is maintaining compliance with Oracle licensing, avoiding non-compliance issues, and license revisions."
"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."
"We don't have any failing cases. Oracle releases regular hot patches, so we don't have many difficulties."
"It is a stable solution. We rarely face any issues with the machine."
"Oracle Linux is very compatible with other platforms."
"It is good for web, network, and file management."
"The good thing about Oracle Linux is that it's free, as long as you don't want support."
"Windows 10 is easy to use."
"Even if users aren't very technical, they can use Windows."
"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."
"Windows 10 is very up-to-date. It's a big upgrade from Windows 7. Cortana is a very important feature."
"The solution's price is affordable."
"I've pretty much used the solution without incident."
"Very reliable and user friendly."
"The performance works very well and the solution is flexible and stable."
"I think the pricing could be improved to be more competitive."
"We'd like it if it was a bit more secure."
"There needs to be overall better integration."
"The solution could improve by giving the client or customer more control."
"Another notable aspect that could be improved is minor compatibility with Red Hat."
"What we found in moving from Oracle Linux 6 to Oracle Linux 7 was the whole interfacing with the application and the fact that operating had all changed, all the commands had changed. You need to be aware that there is some kind of training, some kind of handover required for your technical guys, understanding different ways of interacting with it. Bear that in mind."
"I would like Oracle Linux to have more frequent updates."
"It will be better to consolidate all the features in one release instead of sporadic releases."
"The solution could improve in security, we use a third-party antivirus solution to keep it secure."
"Windows reboot too often, it is a nightmare. I hate it."
"They have a lot of updates, and most of these updates don't have a major feature. We do an update, and we usually don't see any new features from the end-user perspective, which is quite unlike phone updates, where after the update, we usually see something really new. We should be required to update Windows 10 only for major changes. The updates also take a lot of time. When the updates are going on, the PC becomes a bit slow."
"Windows 10 wasn't a very stable solution."
"The tool needs to include NetMeeting which helps people to collaborate."
"Windows 10 needs to be a little bit more secure."
"It could be more stable."
"I would like to have more security."
