SUSE Linux Enterprise Initial Setup
The initial setup is easy and can be deployed on the cloud. It takes half an hour to complete the process.
The deployment process includes creating an instance and cloning it via the application with the help of an operating system image. Further, we install and deploy multiple applications on the cloned system.
View full review »The initial setup is straightforward. The time taken for deployment depends on the configuration and whether it is being deployed on a virtual machine or physical hardware. Whether we need a custom set of packages or a bare metal hypervisor depends on the customer’s requirements.
View full review »The initial setup process is easy with assistance from a consultant or support team. It is very simple to install and requires a maximum of two executives to work on the implementation. We can use a web interface in a development portal to repair the console and manage registered servers.

The initial setup is straightforward. One of the things I like about Linux is that it's a lot easier to update than, for instance, Windows. I have experience with Windows, but the last eight years I have been using primarily Linux and only use Windows when I need to clean because sometimes you try to watch videos on Linux and they don't work or require you to install an additional decoder. As far as patching goes, Linux is a lot easier to patch than Windows and a lot easier to protect than Windows, I think.
The initial setup was straightforward. Also, if it is deployed on cloud, it's very straightforward. The deployment can take from ten to 30 minutes.
The initial setup of SUSE Linux Enterprise is simple.
The time of the implementation depends on the project, such as the length of time and how many VMs you have. For example, if I need to have 100 VMs I will need three people.

The product's initial setup phase was easy.
The solution is deployed on the public cloud and on an on-premises model.
The solution can be deployed in a few minutes. The solution's on-premises deployment in our company's data center takes a few minutes. Our company has a few tools to automate most of SUSE Linux Enterprise-related work, so it's an automated process.
Three people take care of all the product-related deployment processes in our company.

The initial setup is simple and takes five minutes for deployment and if you have automation in place, it will take four minutes.

The setup process isn't too difficult and is the same for all operating systems, especially with Linux, regardless of the distribution. However, if I need to perform specific tasks, such as adding external devices like a network adapter, then finding the correct driver can be challenging. It's tough to answer how long the deployment process takes since it depends on the type of device being used. If all the required drivers are available in the distribution or for all interfaces, then the installation is quick and easy.
In the deployment process, the first step is to install VirtualPBX and the necessary applications for voice configuration, such as conference and phone. After that, it's important to connect the device and establish a virtual connection. However, I needed to consult with the developer and IT department to determine the type of network redundancy or software redundancy required. Then, I try to understand and learn the configurations of VMware or Hyper-V.
Most of the time, integration becomes easy when you put all the information on the table and collaborate with other teams and departments, such as the IT department. From their end, they provide a guide on the exchange along with the provider. If everything is taken into account, then it becomes easier.

The solution is very simple to set up. It is not overly complex or difficult. I'd rate it nine out of ten in terms of ease of deployment.
What we did is we came up with a template of what we wanted our image to look like. For example, simple things such as a date and time setting, the region setting on the OS itself, patching, having the latest patches, and user management. We came up with a template of what we like to call a golden image that was already installed with everything that we usually use on a day-to-day basis on our server. We took that golden image, and we deployed it on every other little application that we needed to install.
This means that we do not have to repeat similar processes, for example, user management, installing the latest patches, configuration, et cetera - basic OS-level configurations.
Our strategy is basically to have a golden image with all the settings that we think are necessary and that apply to all of the systems that are running across our environment, and then we use that golden image to continuously deploy new systems when need be.
The full deployment itself takes less than 20 minutes. Normally it's done by one system admin.
There is no maintenance needed per se. Maybe this is patching and a monthly OS checkup. That's it.

The length of time for deployment depends on the environment. For a VM installation, it will not take more than 20 minutes. Deploying within a data center is longer, but will still not take more than one hour.
View full review »The initial setup is straightforward and because we are using VMware, and we already have a set of templates, the installation takes maybe 30 minutes at most.

Technical Presales Consultant/ Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
The initial setup is straightforward. It's not as easy as Ubuntu. Sometimes you can run into hiccups with the drivers. Other than that, it's amazing. There's also a GUI, there is an interface. You just basically run your settings and click next, next, next, and you're good to go.
The installation and registration process was complicated because of security settings. We didn't receive support services to tackle the difficulties. It requires four to five executives for maintenance.

It also was very easy to setup, and offered an easy to use advanced setup option as well. This helped to create special configurations for different use cases.

The initial setup is a bit complex. You need to have an expert with the expertise to assist you, but, it doesn't take a lot time.
We have a team of five people to maintain this solution.
