We performed a comparison between Oracle Solaris and Windows 10 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."The backup capabilities are quite good."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten since we haven't faced any issues."
"It is a scalable solution. I recommend it for bigger companies."
"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."
"Its networking has helped me combine the power of a neural network with the benefits of virtualization to improve the AI's performance."
"Solaris' best feature is its stability."
"Solaris Zones and Containers are my favorite features."
"This product is stable, has good documentation, lots of solutions, a big community, and good support."
"The speed with SSD is great."
"The solution scales well."
"Windows 10 has a convenient user interface."
"One of the most valuable features is the ease of multitasking. It's easy to switch over different applications and multitasking is very free and flawless. Another useful feature is the ability to recover any data from a crash. Multiple benchmarking applications are supported by Windows, which isn't the case with Linux. So in case you need an application, you can Google it, find it, and easily install it. The user experience is also good. If you have the SSD installed in the laptop or machine, it will start like a boom. Windows is always ahead."
"I think that they have been doing a great job for a long time now when it comes to installation and user experience."
"There's a lot of documentation."
"I like that Windows 10 is easy to use."
"The performance is good."
"They could also enable Oracle OEM for x86 architecture as well."
"There is an issue where Solaris doesn't give the correct figures for memory use when checked."
"The solution is pricey and can be improved by lowering the cost."
"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."
"It is not easy to use. It doesn't have a user-friendly interface. It should be easy to use. We are planning to move from Solaris to Linux because Linux is more flexible and user-friendly. Its installation should also be easier. Solaris also needs specific hardware to work well, which is another reason why we are moving to Linux. It should be more flexible in terms of hardware. It should have better integration with other hardware platforms."
"Currently, there are two variants, there's SPARC and there's x86. I would have wanted a scenario where they're all just one product."
"Oracle customer service is slow at times."
"The Solaris code is open, and the documentation is accessible to all, not only to registered users. Also, the documentation does not support some solutions, and there are no other options."
"The solution could improve by providing web applications and have Windows 10 on Azure as a virtual machine."
"If someone is coming from a previous Windows experience, it could be complex."
"I think the price should be lower for all computer products. Microsoft is a major company that makes a lot of money, so maybe they have enough."
"It could have more integration and a better pricing plan."
"The solution could improve by adding more dashboards."
"The solution could improve in security, we use a third-party antivirus solution to keep it secure."
"The security needs to improve."
"I like the way it is already, I don't think I would improve anything about Windows 10. The licensing price could be cheaper, though."
