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."One of the main features of this solution is the ease of use."
"Solaris's best features are high availability, robustness, and database hosting."
"The backup capabilities are quite good."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of setup."
"Solaris is scalable because they have their own file system, like CFS."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Solaris is the incremental backup that happens in the system."
"It is a scalable solution. I recommend it for bigger companies."
"One of the most valuable features is the ease of multitasking. It's easy to switch over different applications and multitasking is very free and flawless. Another useful feature is the ability to recover any data from a crash. Multiple benchmarking applications are supported by Windows, which isn't the case with Linux. So in case you need an application, you can Google it, find it, and easily install it. The user experience is also good. If you have the SSD installed in the laptop or machine, it will start like a boom. Windows is always ahead."
"The most valuable feature is the interface."
"Provides easy integration."
"The ease of use and performance are two of my favorite features."
"Windows is really backward compatible."
"The main features of Windows 10 are ease of use and performance."
"Technical support is very good."
"The most valuable feature is that it's a good enough operating system for anyone who isn't technically proficient."
"They could also enable Oracle OEM for x86 architecture as well."
"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."
"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."
"More monitoring tools could be included in the product."
"The challenge arises from the differences in commands and configurations compared to more common systems like Linux."
"I don't want to receive any updates on Oracle"
"There is an issue where Solaris doesn't give the correct figures for memory use when checked."
"Oracle Solaris can improve by supporting all the recent features that are in the market from other competitors."
"Increasing the security would be beneficial."
"The Windows driver can be cranky sometimes. Sometimes the mouse won't work or the driver software gets cranky and stops working, so I have to reboot. This is the only annoying problem I've had with Windows. The driver's performance could be improved."
"I think that the user interface is a little bit complicated and can be more user-friendly."
"I have some challenges with the search box. It's a good tool, but sometimes there are some problems. For example, I can't find an application that I installed earlier."
"While the stability is okay, it could always be better."
"There could be more information available online for PowerShell."
"I want the solution's support to be improved. I want the support to be faster."
"Like all Windows products or like all the Microsoft products, like Office, it's priced a bit on the higher side."
