We performed a comparison between Oracle Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), and SUSE Linux Enterprise 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.
"One of the main features of this solution is it is secure."
"It's very useful for hosting other Oracle products."
"The graphical interface is fine. And the documentation is extremely valuable."
"The performance is good and the solution has been stable."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Linux is the RPM package manager."
"The most valuable feature is the binary compatibility i.e. that Oracle Linux is 100% compatible with Red Hat Linux."
"It's mostly reliable."
"The installation is straightforward and it did not take very long."
"With Red Hat, the community is so robust. Most of the time, while waiting for a Red Hat engineer to call us back, the solution to the issue is already provided."
"There are some nice integrations with scanning for vulnerabilities. That is the feature I have enjoyed the most because I am a security person, and that is my bread and butter."
"I prefer it to Windows because of the level of configuration, level of control, and the ability to see the performance of processes on a given system. I prefer the control over logging and the ability that logging gives you to investigate a problem."
"The most valuable feature is the reliability of Red Hat's support."
"Red Hat support is pretty good. They're online, so you can look up things once you have support. Their AB integration has improved. It's easy to manage storage for moving, syncing LBM, etc."
"Its scalability and ease of setup and configuration are most valuable. When we have a hardware failure, we just save the configuration files, and in about half an hour, we have another server running with the same configuration. It is really easy to replace servers. This is the best feature."
"Until now, RHEL has been the most stable OS I have ever seen. Nothing seems to break, with frequent updates. I have been running it 24/7 for the past 18 months and it runs flawlessly."
"The tool's most valuable features are stability and maturity. Linux offers cost efficiency. Red Hat comes at the top of other Linux vendors. I am very satisfied with RHEL's maturity."
"I have not experienced any issues with this operating system."
"The stability of the solution is good. We have not had any issue with performance."
"It also was very easy to setup, and offered an easy to use advanced setup option as well. This helped to create special configurations for different use cases."
"The main feature is that Linux is flexible to work with for most web-based applications."
"The technical support services are good."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"Linux is easy to use. You have more control on a Unix system."
"Out-of-the-box SLES supported all of our HBAs and hardware specific components."
"Technical support slow to respond."
"The support process is time-consuming as it involves several steps."
"We would like to see the cloud setup to be evolved, to allow for setting up of clusters of the operating system for this solution."
"The solution can be improved by making it more user-friendly for basic users to reduce the time it takes to learn the commands and to reduce the dependencies that come with the OS so the deployment time can be reduced."
"They should improve in the area of entertainment applications for the average user."
"The licensing price could be better."
"The solution needs to improve there their capability with most of the applications."
"In the next release, I would like for Autonomous Linux to be available to all users so that the OS administration can be automated."
"Deploying clusters on Red Hat, as well as on Oracle Linux, is a bit involving. I'd like them to simplify the setup or at least give meaningful log files to be able to see what's happening at the cluster level."
"Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization isn't up to the mark as compared to VMware and Hyper-V, but they're moving everything on OpenShift for containers and virtual machines, which is stable. If you go into the virtualization layer, they still need to improve a lot of things, but with regards to OpenShift, containers, Docker, and other things, they are doing well."
"I would like training to be added to the subscription. It would be useful for when you have to train yourself or get a certification. There are many things that we are not using because we don't know how to use them. Having training included in the subscription would help us in learning more things and utilizing the full power of the solution."
"The solution could provide more APIs and GUI interfaces."
"One challenge we've faced is with databases. Configuring and implementing DBs is much easier in non-Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems, especially in Microsoft."
"We had issues migrating from the old to the new RHEL version in the virtual environment. It forced us to spin up a new virtual environment to have the new RHEL version."
"Support for older versions of the operating system could be improved. If people can't afford to upgrade, or if they have servers that are outdated, they need to be able to provide back-field support for those."
"We need to have more flexibility on the developed versions. Not everybody is ready to subscribe to enterprise versions. They would like to test the tool without subscriptions."
"They should improve their educational portal."
"Compared with the competition, of late actually, the solution has increased its pricing tremendously."
"The product must improve its UI."
"The interface could improve."
"I would like to see better functionality for interacting with cloud-based systems."
"I have not seen an ROI with this solution."
"The solution could be more stable."
"We have had trouble integrating Autodesk with the SUSE manager."
