"The most valuable feature by far has been the virtualization capabilities of the operating system."
"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."

"Solaris is not easy to use. It needs better GUI, UI, and configuration tools."
"Solaris' package management could be improved, especially in comparison to Linux."
"Currently, there are two variants, there's SPARC and there's x86. I would have wanted a scenario where they're all just one product."
"They could also enable Oracle OEM for x86 architecture as well."
"If it could support other file systems, it would be better."
"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."
