We performed a comparison between Oracle Solaris, Ubuntu Linux, and Windows 10 based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Canonical, Oracle and others in Operating Systems (OS) for Business."Oracle Solaris's operating system is good."
"It stands out for its exceptional stability."
"Its networking has helped me combine the power of a neural network with the benefits of virtualization to improve the AI's performance."
"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."
"Solaris's best features are high availability, robustness, and database hosting."
"We like that the virtualization is built in, so you don't have to spend extra money on buying licenses for a hypervisor."
"This product is stable, has good documentation, lots of solutions, a big community, and good support."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten since we haven't faced any issues."
"It is stable and quite easy to use as compared to other Linux operating systems. They have created a system like Windows. It is simple and without any problems."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"Ubuntu is great because you get most of the packages or software you need. You get the latest updates and stuff fairly fast."
"The integration with other solutions like Apache is valuable."
"Ubuntu Linux is developer-oriented."
"This open source operating system promotes very secure environments with less possibility of being attacked. Support for this system is great because of its quick SLA."
"Stable and scalable Linux operating system that can test and run virtual machines."
"The most valuable feature of Ubuntu Linux is the price because we don't need to pay as it is used for selling equipment."
"The user interface of Windows 10 is good. It is better than the earlier versions. Its performance is also better than the earlier versions. These are the two good points for me."
"As we are talking about Microsoft, I have encountered no problems with the installation."
"Windows 10 is easier for people to learn than other alternative solutions. Microsoft has been doing a very good job recently with updates and integrations, such as the collaboration with Ubuntu."
"The product is user-friendly and runs on multiple PCs."
"Among the most valuable aspects are the graphics tools and the integrated security features, with a notably effective firewall."
"The installation process is pretty easy."
"Windows 10 has many features, all of which are pretty good. There's even an upgrade now, but I still haven't upgraded it yet. I can't remember what extra features Windows 10 offers compared to the previous version, but I have been pretty comfortable with Windows 10. It's easy to use."
"Microsoft technology is very simple and user friendly."
"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."
"The challenge arises from the differences in commands and configurations compared to more common systems like Linux."
"I believe before Oracle was using Oracle Linux, they were using Oracle Solaris for their customers who are using Oracle databases. This was because it was more optimized for the hardware built for it. It has good performance for the database only. However, if you take it out of the Oracle applications, it will not do well compared to other operating systems, such as Linux or even Windows can have better performance."
"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."
"Oracle customer service is slow at times."
"The solution is pricey and can be improved by lowering the cost."
"Solaris' package management could be improved, especially in comparison to Linux."
"For a broken Ubuntu system, you must do a new installation. There is no existing repair option."
"I don't like the graphical interface in Ubuntu and it should be better."
"The support can be improved."
"The user interface could be improved, as it looks a little bit older."
"They can improve the interface and give it an appearance similar to the Windows 11 operating system."
"Stability could be improved."
"The repository needs to be kept up to date all of the time."
"On the gaming side, things are happening but there are some games that should be ported to Ubuntu."
"The solution can improve security."
"There is room for improvement when it comes to the licensing."
"It would be better if they brought back the easy way to create multiple sessions on Windows 10. It's very complicated for our customers, and most of the time they need to call us to do it because they know that we are in an office environment and most of the time the competence is not for only one person. To optimize the resources, they need to have several sessions on the same desktop or the same workstation. This makes it easier to manage and maintain. My recommendation is to bring back the easy way and have several sessions on the same operating system. The price could be better as well."
"We'd always be happier if the enterprise version was a little bit lower in price."
"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."
"The technical support of Microsoft is sometimes hard to reach, they could improve in this area."
"There are a lot of frequent updates. They can reduce the number of updates and combine them into one monthly update. It also uses a lot of RAM and CPU, which should be fixed."
"The operating system could be more configurable and compatible in integrating with other operating systems."
