We performed a comparison between Oracle Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Operating Systems (OS) for Business solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Oracle is well-known for its strong security measures. I have a great deal of confidence in the security of the Oracle DB, including its ability to monitor changes made to the database."
"The main business advantage is maintaining compliance with Oracle licensing, avoiding non-compliance issues, and license revisions."
"Oracle Linux is a secure solution."
"It's very useful for hosting other Oracle products."
"Oracle Linux is very compatible with other platforms."
"The solution runs very well on inter-platform or HPE Intel servers."
"We use Oracle Linux to test our software, and we also recommend Oracle Linux to our customers."
"It is good for web, network, and file management."
"The solution offers a secure operation system."
"From a functionality perspective, the suite is quite rich. We like that."
"YaST simplifies the server management of SUSE allowing for a centralized utility to control most of the server functions."
"The technical support services are good."
"Out-of-the-box SLES supported all of our HBAs and hardware specific components."
"The main feature is that Linux is flexible to work with for most web-based applications."
"It is very easy to maintain, migrate and upgrade."
"The most valuable feature is that there is an inbuilt HANA firewall."
"Since it is a VM, it gets slow. It can be an area for improvement."
"It could be easier to reach a higher support level."
"They should improve in the area of entertainment applications for the average user."
"The security could improve in the solution."
"What can improve in the solution is a rather challenging question given that Oracle is pushing towards cloud computing and the closed nature of the system. Maintaining Oracle Linux behind a firewall can be a cumbersome process, as it requires manual intervention to copy repositories and obtain approval from internal authorities. With the current emphasis on cloud computing, the support and development of traditional, closed systems like Oracle Linux may not receive as much attention, leading to potential limitations in the system's capabilities and performance."
"The solution could improve by giving the client or customer more control."
"The price of Oracle Linux should improve, it is expensive compared to other solutions."
"It would be ideal if they added a faster implementation of the security fixes, if possible."
"The price of SUSE Linux Enterprise could improve, it is too expensive."
"I would like to see better functionality for interacting with cloud-based systems."
"If you want to do something simple like changing an IP number, you have to be quite aware of all the configuration files where you will change that."
"They should provide chatbot support for customers to open the troubleshooting cases directly."
"In the next release it would be nice to see more integration and better automation of processses."
"When working in a Department of Defense environment, Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) have to be followed. SLES is not really addressed directly here. It did make following security policy difficult."
"The product must improve its UI."
"We have had trouble integrating Autodesk with the SUSE manager."
