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."Solaris' best feature is its stability."
"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."
"Oracle Solaris is great due to the fact that it actually is meant for high-end servers."
"One of the main features of this solution is the ease of use."
"Solaris Zones and Containers are my favorite features."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten since we haven't faced any issues."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of setup."
"The product's most valuable feature is partitioning resources and optimizing hardware utilization effectively."
"The solution has good performance and has a good interface."
"The applications seem to run smoother on this solution than they did with Windows 7."
"Windows 10 is quite user friendly."
"I have found all the features to be valuable. I like the compatibility of Windows with other products, I can add applications. The general compatibility of Microsoft is good, I know that I can use all the Microsoft products."
"I like that Windows 10 is easy to use."
"It provides us with very good updates and security patching that is required."
"It's easy to use and the performance is good."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"Oracle customer service is slow at times."
"Oracle Solaris can improve by supporting all the recent features that are in the market from other competitors."
"Red Hat Enterprise Linux is more secure and better documented. So Oracle could learn from them when it comes to security and documentation."
"When we switch over to Solaris it was not easy because we had some troubles with the performance. Solaris is from Oracle and you would expect that it would run flawlessly, but we had some issues in sizing the previous Linux environment to the Solaris environment."
"The Solaris code is open, and the documentation is accessible to all, not only to registered users. Also, the documentation does not support some solutions, and there are no other options."
"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."
"This product is not as flexible as other similar solutions on the market today."
"I don't want to receive any updates on Oracle"
"The solution derails the battery too quickly, meaning the performance could be better."
"The solution could improve by reducing the number of updates that are required to stay secure. There are times when I am doing work on my computer and I get interrupted."
"In a new release, Microsoft could improve their Internet Explorer browser. It does not work as well for all sites as other browsers do, such as Google Chrome."
"If the system Windows 10 is operating on is not powerful it can become sluggish. They could improve by having two versions, a lightweight, and a higher performance version for more powerful computers."
"The solution should offer a bit of an easier integration with authentication methods, like FIDO or FIDO2 authentication with the USB-C. They should try to simplify the process of authenticating the user. Nobody wants to remember thousands of passwords."
"There are no missing features."
"If they could avoid the constant bombarding of the updates, which happens, that would be appreciated."
"It would be nice to have more integration with other platforms, something which is always welcome."
