We performed a comparison between CentOS and SUSE Linux Enterprise 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 stability of this solution is its most useful feature. It is a high quality product and you know what you're getting. You also receive wide support from the community."
"I like how you can alternate certain things and minimize admin features on there and just let it run on specific scripts. It's nice. Even if I had to put it in a container, I'd still do it. I prefer Linux over Windows any day."
"The product is based on Red Hat and very stable."
"Very robust and easy to work with."
"The open architecture is useful for us. That's why we're using CentOS."
"The solution is extremely stable."
"We particularly like that we can remove the graphic user interface to minimize attack settings for the operating system."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The solution offers a secure operation system."
"SUSE Linux Enterprise is easy to configure for those who are not hardcore command-line driven."
"Out-of-the-box SLES supported all of our HBAs and hardware specific components."
"It's easy to set up."
"It also was very easy to setup, and offered an easy to use advanced setup option as well. This helped to create special configurations for different use cases."
"The tool’s idempotency ensures all configurations are in place at all times."
"SUSE Linux Enterprise is scalable."
"The initial setup for most modern Linux distributions is normally straightforward. Most of the common distributions use an ncurses or GUI install."
"This solution is no longer suited to our business following the change they have made to the release process. It is no longer an enterprise solution."
"The solution could be more scalable."
"The GUI interface could always be better."
"I would like the integration to be more secure."
"It would be useful if reporting were included as part of the basic license."
"Previous versions were unstable."
"CentOS could improve by having troubleshooting logs."
"There is no notification before updates are applied to the solution, which occasionally means that new functionality isn't compatible with how the product is currently being used, and causes issues."
"The free version sometimes has security holes."
"The product must improve its UI."
"The platform doesn't support certain APMs."
"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."
"When working in a Department of Defense environment, Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) have to be followed. SLES is not really addressed directly here. It did make following security policy difficult."
"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."
"I would like to see better functionality for interacting with cloud-based systems."
