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."Stable - it just runs without the necessity to reboot."
"The most valuable feature by far has been the virtualization capabilities of the operating system."
"openSUSE Leap has helped me with using containers in Podman."
"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."
"I use openSUSE Leap as the base for the Kubernetes cluster we run in-house."
"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."
"We use the solution as an internal operating system."
"This product handles databases well; they run on top of the operating system."
"Oracle Solaris provides an ease of use."
"This product is stable, has good documentation, lots of solutions, a big community, and good support."
"Oracle Solaris is pre-installed in our environment. Thus, it is simple to customize."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"It is a scalable solution. I recommend it for bigger companies."
"Oracle Solaris is great due to the fact that it actually is meant for high-end servers."
"There is room for improvement in the console."
"Like most Linux-based operating systems, the biggest challenge Leap faces is the GUI."
"I would like openSUSE Leap to have better link integration with Windows."
"The initial system setup or network configuration of the solution is not straightforward and can be improved."
"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."
"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."
"The primary drawback with this product is the lack of version updates."
"Solaris' package management could be improved, especially in comparison to Linux."
"The tool is quite complex and difficult for anyone trying to use or study it."
"The scalability of the solution can be improved."
"Red Hat Enterprise Linux is more secure and better documented. So Oracle could learn from them when it comes to security and documentation."
"The challenge arises from the differences in commands and configurations compared to more common systems like Linux."
"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."
