The solution is very, very stable and runs particularly well for Unix and Linux environments. You can let the machine run without turning it off for a long time and it will still work well. That is completely different than working with Windows or other substandard operational systems.

Stability is rated a ten out of ten. 

The solution is very stable and has been running for months with no issues. 

On occasion, we install patches to fix security vulnerabilities. 

When we start the installation, we decide the purpose of the server based on the expected database size. If the database is under 100 GB, we will allocate resources accordingly. If the database will be about 100 terabytes or 500 terabytes, then we adjust our allocation. Sometimes, in our UAT (User Acceptance Testing) databases, we allocate less memory, which can cause some minor issues.

Otherwise, in production environments, we take our time. When switching to new hardware, we dedicate at least three months to proper testing. We purchase hardware licenses, software licenses, and database licenses all together. 

We never rush installation because we conduct thorough testing. We test everything from the production database to the standby database. We heavily load the standby database, and if it performs perfectly, then we switch roles – standby becomes production and vice versa. We perform many transactions on both sides to check the load balance.

Once satisfied, let's say we have 20,000 users, each with approximately three active sessions – that's potentially 60,000 sessions. We observe how the server handles this, how much CPU is consumed during peak times. 

Peak times in most organizations are generally from nine to five, with cool down from ten to twelve, then after breaks, again from 02:00 to 04:30 P.M. We monitor CPU consumption and RAM utilization during these peak hours. We check every step, and only when we say, "Okay, this server can support our new hardware and software, we have no issue" – only then do we make the switch.

In terms of availability and stability requirements, it competes well with other major Linux distributions like Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Ubuntu.

I rate the product’s stability an eight out of ten. The operating system has some issues with the network time protocol.

It is a stable solution. We rarely face any issues with the machine.

We have ad a very good experience with Oracle Linux, and we have been happy.

The solution was stable. It was reliable. There were no bugs or glitches. I'd rate the stability seven out of ten in terms of reliability. 

The solution is stable.

The solution is indeed stable. After conducting a thorough evaluation and comparison between a Red Hat system and an Oracle Linux system, the kernel stability remains constant and unaltered. There was no observable difference in the stability between the two systems. Additionally, during the period of usage, no issues or problems regarding stability were encountered.

We are in live banking production servers using Oracle Linux. 

Yes.

The solution is stable.

It's a very stable product.

Based on our experience so far, the stability of this solution has been good. I would rate it an eight out of ten for its stability.

I give the stability an eight out of ten. Some of the setups are not supported by Oracle Linux.

The tool’s stability depends on the system. The operating system’s stability is good. 

The solution is stable and we have been using it for over ten years.

The solution is stable. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. It is reliable. 

The stability of Oracle Linux is good.

The stability is very good. The databases are all VMs. Sometimes the database might have an underlying condition, hardware condition, and Oracle will send us an alert to tell us to please restart our databases so that they can be moved to another piece of hardware by a certain date. If we don't do it on our own, they will do it. That, however, leaves room for corruption. Also, you run the risk of not telling our customers ahead of time that there might be a little bit of downtime.

The solution is very stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's very reliable in terms of performance.

It is stable and mostly reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze on us. 

I don't think that we had any kind of stability issues. Most of the time, if I remember correctly, we worked with Oracle Linux when it was a part of the private cloud. By private cloud, I mean it was in VM. Being in VM with limited resources, sometimes the software packages would crash, but I don't recall the operating system ever crashing. The issues we experienced were due to the software and filter packages, not the operating system.

Linux is an extremely stable platform. You implement it and you can forget it. On top of it, Oracle has added a lot of features which has made it extremely stable. We have been doing this since 2003, I have not faced any major outage at any of my customers or of any mission critical application on Oracle Linux.

We have had no issues with the stability.

The tool's stability is good. I would rate the product's stability a ten out of ten. 

Oracle Linux is a stable product, and I would rate the stability an eight out of ten because sometimes there are issues when installing patches or renewing licenses.

It is a stable solution.

The stability is very good.

What we experienced is, the stability is key. What we can't take into account with customers is how they're going to want to use the platform, once we've installed it, once we've got different solutions running on that platform.

This product is more stable as compared to the competitor product that we have. It is more reliable. It doesn't break quite as often. It's user-friendly.

The product is 99.99% stable.

Very stable

We have not had any issues related to stability of the OS. Application-related issues have caused the downtime.

It's highly stable.

The solution has been stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. The performance is good and it's a reliable product.

Oracle Linux is a stable solution. 

When you take Red Hat and strip several applications off of it and optimize it to work with Oracle databases, Oracle Linux is the most stable Linux.

I have found the solution to be stable.

I haven't seen any big stability issues with a couple of customers that are doing Oracle Linux. The only issues we have seen are more generally kernel-related, so Red Hat would have the same issue.

The big benefit is that you have additional stability if you run Oracle products, because you always have the guarantee that if you upgrade anything, Oracle software will continue running. You're not running the risk that you'll break anything, within reason. A bug is always possible, but if you're running an Oracle shop, running Oracle Linux makes absolute sense because it is part of their testing strategy to ensure that the databases work if they bring out stuff.

That is, in general, what I tell my customers: "You're running an Oracle database, use Oracle Linux." There is stuff in there that helps you run your database optimally and those guys always have their own products in mind. If you are an Oracle shop, don't go for Red Hat. You've got the financial part, but also it's from the same vendor. They know the guys from database themselves, and they keep them in mind when they bring out a patch. That makes absolute sense.

What's really nice about the stability is that even when you have situations that might cause issues with other OSs, other variants of Linux, Oracle Enterprise Linux seems to do a better job of catching and handling those exceptions. An example would be, maybe I'm doing a wrap-cluster or I'm using ASM, automatic storage management, there are some cases where those products can cause an error that might cause a different distribution of Linux to maybe hang or lock or get confused. With Enterprise Linux it seems to be a non-issue. It's very stable.

We have just transitioned about four customers as of now. We haven't faced any such challenges as of now.

We have rarely encountered any issues with the stability of this solution, and when they do occur they are generally issues with storage and not the operating system.

We hit a couple of bugs in the early days of Oracle Linux 5 but in the last few years, the platform has been extremely stable.

I have not had any stability issues. My databases servers have been up since the last maintenance and there have been no issues during the business day.

We have had no issues with the stability.

It's very stable and gives you the best performance when it is on Linux and Unix.

The stability I found is extremely good.

We did not encounter any stability issues.

Oracle Linux is the best Linux operating system that I have ever known. It is very stable and strong.

We've had absolutely no problems at all, we've never had any stability issues with Oracle Linux.

We have never encountered any stability issues.

It's incredibly stable. We've had little to no issues with instability.

It's been very stable. We've very rarely had any issues with instability.

Oracle Linux is a really stable solution.

I rate Oracle Linux ten out of ten for stability.

It's stable. We use Oracle Linux because it has a stable kernel, perhaps, more so than other vendors.

We have not encountered any stability issues. It was very stable. Safety is at the highest level and there has never been a problem.

The solution is stable and we have no issues with it.

Stability, scalability, like I said, it compares directly with Red Hat. In some things, the packages, the ability to reach out to the Oracle yum packages, and do automatic updates, it gives you the ability to scale. 

Patching, there's quarterly patches. I actually think they may even do bi-weekly patches now for Oracle Linux. 

The scalability, as long as you have someone to manage it, you're good to go and it's right up there in reliability with the Red Hat stuff.

The operating system is fairly stable.

We have had no issues with the stability. The OS is stable and reliable on a hardware layer stack, and Oracle has done a very good job of that. Oracle has done a good job of validating hardware Oracle Linux Hardware Certification List. We are very happy with the investment we have made.

The solution is highly stable.

The Oracle container engine is actually built on the Enterprise Linux kernel. So I think it's extremely stable and secure. I think it's one of the most stable and secure Linux variants in the world. When we actually build our Docker containers we utilize Oracle Linux as a basis for those as well.

Linux is stable. OVM could be better but it's still stable enough to do day-to-day operations.

Stability and scalability, we don't have any issues. We're running it on PCA, we're running on bare metal, we're running on different cloud configurations, OVM. For us, UEK versions 2 and 3 have been very stable and very scalable. We run RAC on it as well.

Of course, we have had stability issues. Linux is a work in progress.

From a stability perspective, Linux has been around for decades, and Oracle Linux is going to be around for a long, long time, and it’s going to be a dominant player.

We've had no issues with stability.

I feel the stability to be the solution's best feature. 

Oracle Linux is very stable.

It is a very stable platform. It never goes down.

I think it's fine, there's no issue there. It's been very, very stable.

The solution is stable.

I have found the solution to be stable.

It's pretty stable. We haven't seen any major problems so far. If we have issues, then we have to open an open source ticket with Red Hat. And they do resolve those, with solutions, but so far we haven't seen any roadblocks.

We have not encountered stability issues.

A handful of customers that are using it haven't had any issues with the stability.

There have been no issues with the stability.

I have seen running production systems on it, there is no issue at all, because of the operating system.

Linux is always stable and Oracle Linux is no different. Customers are predominantly running their systems on Linux.

The solution is stable.

In the early days of using the product, Fujitsu had some issues with both the stability and functionality of the product. Oracle was very responsive to this feedback and, as a result, has incorporated many of the ideas that were shared by Fujitsu. The result is a market-leading solution.

Very stable. I think it's a very mature system, so I think it is, in general, quite stable and in a high performing state.
