We performed a comparison between openSUSE Leap, Oracle Solaris, and Windows Server 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 most valuable feature by far has been the virtualization capabilities of the operating system."
"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."
"Stable - it just runs without the necessity to reboot."
"I use openSUSE Leap as the base for the Kubernetes cluster we run in-house."
"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 backup capabilities are quite good."
"It stands out for its exceptional 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 provides an ease of use."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Solaris is the incremental backup that happens in the system."
"One of the main features of this solution is the ease of use."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"It is a scalable solution. I recommend it for bigger companies."
"Provides workspaces for the entire organization with fewer resources."
"The features that I like the most are that it's easy to use and the integration."
"We chose Windows Server because it is easy to use, and easy to maintain."
"With SSO authentication and Active Directory services, users' contact domains and everything are available. It can help users benefit from the tool while sharing authentication, user access, rollback, and other areas."
"It is very stable and easy to install."
"I like the fact that Windows Server is user friendly."
"The installation was straightforward and easy."
"The solution is easy to use. We are satisfied with its performance."
"There is room for improvement in the console."
"In the future, the Active Directory could improve."
"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."
"I would like openSUSE Leap to have better link integration with Windows."
"Somehow the change from OS12.x via 13.x to Leap was a bit bumpy and some old issues seemed to reappear."
"The solution is pricey and can be improved by lowering the cost."
"The primary drawback with this product is the lack of version updates."
"Solaris' package management could be improved, especially in comparison to Linux."
"More monitoring tools could be included in the product."
"Red Hat Enterprise Linux is more secure and better documented. So Oracle could learn from them when it comes to security and documentation."
"Oracle Solaris can improve by supporting all the recent features that are in the market from other competitors."
"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."
"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 solution needs to be more stable and secure."
"It should have more stability and fewer automatic updates. A CLI approach, similar to Linux, is missing right now."
"The user interface needs improvement."
"Perhaps the scalability could be better."
"I would like Windows to come up lighter because the footprint itself can consume more than 300GB. It would probably take close to 100GB of space to install a Windows operating system because it has got so many features."
"I would definitely like to see bolting monitoring tools. To monitor the server you usually have to install third party tools. I would like to be less reliant on third-party tools. They always create some sort of security issue regarding ports that need to be opened, that type of thing. Windows Server has internally monitorable software but remote monitoring software would be a great add-on."
"It can have more integration with different platforms."
"The solution could improve by being more user-friendly."
