We performed a comparison between Oracle Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), and Ubuntu Linux 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."It helps us to create users and groups. We can also plan on the access that will be given to them. I use it for identity management during the installment and configuration process. We use it to start or stop processes and services. Another use case of the solution is post-opening."
"The features that I have found to be the most valuable are the performance, stability, and support that Oracle offers for the solution."
"Once installed, the product is good, I like it. The core of the software is really good."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It is a good solution, and the performance is good."
"Oracle Linux for Oracle databases is the top. There's no doubt whatsoever."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Linux is the RPM package manager."
"I feel the stability to be the solution's best feature."
"Everything is just stable and works well."
"The solution provides more detailed control."
"The package management, repository, and satellite repository are easy to use."
"The support and the stability are Red Hat Enterprise Linux's most valuable areas."
"There are millions of commands you can use, although we use only five or ten."
"One of the most valuable aspects is the ease of installing packages on the server."
"The feature that I like the most is that we can integrate it easily with our existing infrastructure. We found that it is much easier to deploy RHEL in our environment compared to a competing distribution like Ubuntu."
"We are a Managed Service Provider. Red Hat Enterprise Linux enables us not to be worried about vulnerabilities, security, and patching."
"The setup is fairly easy."
"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."
"Ubuntu is rather stable, simple to deploy, stable, and well supported by an open-source community."
"The solution provides good security."
"I like the flexibility."
"The feature that I most like in Ubuntu is that it is really easy to use. Ubuntu is very easy to use and comes with many available packages. I think that Ubuntu is a good solution for the small business or a small lab."
"The solution has a very good graphical user interface."
"Stable and scalable Linux operating system that can test and run virtual machines."
"Since it is a VM, it gets slow. It can be an area for improvement."
"It is not a user-friendly solution."
"I would want Oracle to explore more of Kubernetes and micro services."
"It does not have any reporting on attempted intrusions."
"Oracle Linux could improve by having better compatibility with other solutions. Some aspects of the configuration are difficult. I was using Oracle Linux on a Mac computer and it was very difficult to set up."
"We'd like it if it was a bit more secure."
"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."
"There were some problems when updating the operating system, which affected the system as a whole."
"The Modules feature is awesome but it could be even better."
"Red Hat Enterprise Linux's monitoring could be improved. I would like additional monitoring features, like a greater ability to monitor services and workloads running. Satellite can provide centralized monitoring of subscriptions and deployments. You can build a monitoring console, but there is no native monitoring."
"The solution could provide more APIs and GUI interfaces."
"Red Hat Enterprise Linux should modernize its UI to make navigating the screens easier."
"Sometimes they don't have new versions for applications like Apache or PHP. I understand it's because they have to have support for them, so they can't have the latest version all the time, but that's the main thing I see that could be improved."
"The solution's modules feature could be better."
"It would be great to have an overview of how various Red Hat products work together. They can show how to tie all those pieces together and how to have the products that we work together for our day-to-day processes."
"All resources should be available on the website."
"The solution could improve its GUI personalization."
"The encryption of the partition regarding software systems could be improved."
"Ubuntu should create some specific features, like Red Hat. Red Hat has provided many features for open-source, like FreeIPA."
"You need a lot of bandwidth during the initial setup in order to pull from the repository. Without good bandwidth, you'll get cut off and the implementation will fail."
"When you talk of some of the flexibility, like you want to install from scratch, Windows is more user-friendly compared to Linux."
"The solution's initial setup is complex, and its technical support is not very good."
"For a broken Ubuntu system, you must do a new installation. There is no existing repair option."
"It could be easier for beginners and the user interface could be more user-friendly."
