Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
We are using the firewall for intrusion prevention, and it has performed well. With Oracle Linux Ksplice specifically, we have organizations looking for minimum downtime. We're able to apply hot-patching at any time; once we've proven they're tested, ready to go, we don't need to take downtime to apply them. It provides for stable Oracle deployments. | The work is now faster and more efficient because most of the running programs do not crash during the run stage, like the previous version we were using for work. |
Cons | |
It does not have any reporting on attempted intrusions. 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. Kernel updates need improvement. | The frequent update of the Operating system is bad because, during each update, most of the programs or applications do not function well. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
The pricing and licensing are good. | Information Not Available |
