We performed a comparison between openSUSE Leap, Oracle Solaris, 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."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."
"openSUSE Leap has helped me with using containers in Podman."
"The solution is very stable after it is configured. It is hard to have a panel slow, a problem, misconfiguration, or any kind of loss function."
"Stable - it just runs without the necessity to reboot."
"The most valuable feature by far has been the virtualization capabilities of the operating system."
"I use openSUSE Leap as the base for the Kubernetes cluster we run in-house."
"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."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten since we haven't faced any issues."
"The product's most valuable feature is partitioning resources and optimizing hardware utilization effectively."
"One of the main features of this solution is the ease of use."
"Oracle Solaris is great due to the fact that it actually is meant for high-end servers."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of setup."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The solution is easy to use and secure."
"I like that it has many features that are easily displayed."
"I am impressed with the tool's Microsoft Office products and its functionality."
"This solution is easy to use. I am satisfied with the solution."
"Windows setup isn't very complicated. Mostly, we have someone proficient in Windows to do our installations."
"It showcases a diverse range of applications without consuming excessive storage."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The ease of use has been great. It feels quicker and smoother."
"Somehow the change from OS12.x via 13.x to Leap was a bit bumpy and some old issues seemed to reappear."
"In the future, the Active Directory could improve."
"I would like openSUSE Leap to have better link integration with Windows."
"There is room for improvement in the console."
"Like most Linux-based operating systems, the biggest challenge Leap faces is the GUI."
"The initial system setup or network configuration of the solution is not straightforward and can be improved."
"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."
"If it could support other file systems, it would be better."
"Red Hat Enterprise Linux is more secure and better documented. So Oracle could learn from them when it comes to security and documentation."
"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 primary drawback with this product is the lack of version updates."
"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."
"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."
"It would be helpful if the solution offered backend management. In the 11.4 version, Oracle added a management console. It would be great if we maybe had a user management tool to go with it."
"It would be helpful if Windows had its own antivirus to protect the OS. They should provide an antivirus with it."
"Major update, that poses an issue should be able to be rolled back."
"Windows 10 could improve its security and they have not added anything extra to the solution from the previous versions."
"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 updates take a lot of time to complete, and they could be faster."
"So it would be nice to have the option to switch between this design and the previous one. Working with Windows 7, I preferred to use commands or applications like in the old version."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"I like the way it is already, I don't think I would improve anything about Windows 10. The licensing price could be cheaper, though."
