We performed a comparison between Oracle Linux 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."It is a stable solution. We rarely face any issues with the machine."
"If we use Linux, Solaris, or some other operating systems, we have to build a lot of packages using RPMs (the packet manager). That's a difficult task. With Oracle Linux, we use a single command to update from the Oracle website."
"The configuration with Oracle database and Oracle Center databases is easy."
"We are using the firewall for intrusion prevention, and it has performed well."
"Oracle Linux for Oracle databases is the top. There's no doubt whatsoever."
"The user interface is comfortable and easy to use."
"Oracle Linux's most valuable feature is flexibility."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It's a flexible solution."
"The stability of the solution is good. We have not had any issue with performance."
"It's easy to set up."
"The solution offers a secure operation system."
"SUSE Linux Enterprise is easy to configure for those who are not hardcore command-line driven."
"The technical support services are good."
"The initial setup for most modern Linux distributions is normally straightforward. Most of the common distributions use an ncurses or GUI install."
"The initial setup is simple and takes five minutes for deployment and if you have automation in place, it will take four minutes."
"What can improve in the solution is a rather challenging question given that Oracle is pushing towards cloud computing and the closed nature of the system. Maintaining Oracle Linux behind a firewall can be a cumbersome process, as it requires manual intervention to copy repositories and obtain approval from internal authorities. With the current emphasis on cloud computing, the support and development of traditional, closed systems like Oracle Linux may not receive as much attention, leading to potential limitations in the system's capabilities and performance."
"The main challenge for new users of Linux is the command-line interface (CLI). It can be intimidating if you're not familiar with it."
"I would want Oracle to explore more of Kubernetes and micro services."
"The licensing price could be better."
"The graphic interface could be improved to work better in a desktop environment."
"The download speed is not good. Oracle can improve their servers capacity, especially in Asia."
"Occasionally, we might get an alert to restart our database, and if we don't do it on our own, the system will do it automatically. That can cause downtime issues if your clients aren't expecting it."
"They could introduce the same level of remote capabilities, which are available with VMware applications to build distant environments."
"The solution could be more stable."
"I would like to see GUI improved, it could be more user-friendly."
"The product must improve its UI."
"They should probably just make clustering a bit simpler and also provide more descriptive log files for cluster services."
"The platform doesn't support certain APMs."
"The only stability issues that I can recall encountering with SUSE would be with KDE. However, that is limited to just the desktop environment as I have not had stability issues with most server functions."
"Red Hat has more packages that are available than SUSE does. I'd love to see more projects based on SUSE."
"The quality of support offered by SUSE Linux Enterprise is not that great, making it an area where improvements are required."
