Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Canonical, Oracle and others in Operating Systems (OS) for Business."Stable - it just runs without the necessity to reboot."
"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."
"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."
"openSUSE Leap has helped me with using containers in Podman."
"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."
"It has a good amount of mount points."
"We don't have any failing cases. Oracle releases regular hot patches, so we don't have many difficulties."
"The stability of Oracle Linux is good."
"The main business advantage is maintaining compliance with Oracle licensing, avoiding non-compliance issues, and license revisions."
"The solution has zero downtime and is easy to optimize right out of the box."
"It is good for web, network, and file management."
"The product can scale."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of the commands which take little time to learn."
"We find the initial implementation process to be quick and easy."
"We can scale the solution if we need to."
"We have not contacted technical support."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to be used in a virtualized environment."
"Microsoft is a trusted brand and I enjoy working with it."
"User friendly and compatible with the scalar product applications."
"The most valuable feature of Windows Server is the ease of use and the applications that are available."
"PowerShell is a great feature of the solution."
"There is room for improvement in the console."
"Somehow the change from OS12.x via 13.x to Leap was a bit bumpy and some old issues seemed to reappear."
"I would like openSUSE Leap to have better link integration with Windows."
"The initial system setup or network configuration of the solution is not straightforward and can be improved."
"Like most Linux-based operating systems, the biggest challenge Leap faces is the GUI."
"In the future, the Active Directory could improve."
"Pricing could be improved."
"It could be easier to reach a higher support level."
"Oracle Linux could improve by having more documentation."
"It could be more scalable."
"What we found in moving from Oracle Linux 6 to Oracle Linux 7 was the whole interfacing with the application and the fact that operating had all changed, all the commands had changed. You need to be aware that there is some kind of training, some kind of handover required for your technical guys, understanding different ways of interacting with it. Bear that in mind."
"It does not have any reporting on attempted intrusions."
"The security and integration could improve."
"We'd like it if it was a bit more secure."
"The solution could be more reasonably priced."
"The reporting, event logging, and event management functionalities need to be improved."
"The solution could improve by being more secure."
"When it comes to virtualization, VMware is a bit more advanced in terms of security. Hyper-V does provide facilities, but it probably has to do a bit more work in terms of encryption. People will normally go for VMware because of the features that it has as a server, particularly the virtualization feature."
"The only thing that could be improved is the price."
"In the next release, I would like to see better pricing."
"We are finding some of the configurations inside the group policy not very straightforward. We had some difficulties, for example, just trying to figure out how to configure and how to block the usage of MP3 files, and so on."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
