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."The most valuable feature of Oracle Solaris is the incremental backup that happens in the system."
"Oracle Solaris's operating system is good."
"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."
"We use the solution as an internal operating system."
"This product is stable, has good documentation, lots of solutions, a big community, and good support."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten since we haven't faced any issues."
"This product handles databases well; they run on top of the operating system."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The product is user-friendly and runs on multiple PCs."
"The solution is useful for end-user computing."
"One useful feature of Windows 10 is its connectivity with mobile devices and ability to make cableless connections with external devices."
"Windows setup isn't very complicated. Mostly, we have someone proficient in Windows to do our installations."
"The licensing is reasonable."
"Windows 10 is very up-to-date. It's a big upgrade from Windows 7. Cortana is a very important feature."
"Windows 10 is a user-friendly product."
"The solution is pricey and can be improved by lowering the cost."
"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 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."
"If it could support other file systems, it would be better."
"The challenge arises from the differences in commands and configurations compared to more common systems like Linux."
"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."
"Red Hat Enterprise Linux is more secure and better documented. So Oracle could learn from them when it comes to security and documentation."
"We are using Defender for security protection, which is part of Windows 10. We have been receiving a lot of spam mail, but when we speak to Microsoft, they claim the email is from a genuine website. However, inside that mail, there is a link, and when we click the link, it is spam. They need to improve their customer support when dealing with these types of issues."
"Support could be better."
"I think that the user interface is a little bit complicated and can be more user-friendly."
"This solution is good enough, but Windows is always playing catch-up when it comes to development. An improvement I would like to see is in Windows updates. They don't seem to test the updates."
"MS Office or Internet Explorer has a big ribbon on top, which occupies needed space."
"System resource consumption is more than Linux. I would like better RAM and better memory optimization."
"It could have more integration and a better pricing plan."
"It would be nice to have more integration with other platforms, something which is always welcome."
