I have worked with other operating systems. When I worked on Oracle, Oracle Linux was the only OS we could use. If there's a requirement to use Ansible Tower that is highly compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, then we use Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The solution we use depends on the customers’ requirements.

I have worked with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora, and Oracle Linux. People who are not inclined toward CLI will be more receptive and more open to UI-based offerings like Windows. People who are not administrators or developers want better UI and user exchange for an easier experience.

We have experience using Red Hat. To run SAP, we would recommend SUSE Linux Enterprise. Red Hat is also very good, but SUSE Linux Enterprise is a master in the SAP market.

I have experience with another solution before moving to SUSE Linux Enterprise. I did not make the decision to move to SUSE Linux Enterprise in our company.

I work with VMware and Hyper-V from Microsoft in my laboratory for testing purposes. I don't work with other teams or companies. Recently, I installed VMware ESXi.

I have used Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft System Center - Operations Manager, Microsoft Project, Team Foundation Server, IIS, and Windows Server, but not on an operational team. So, I know about these tools, but I don't work with them on a day-to-day basis. My experience is in voice devices like Mitel. I have experience with all the imported applications. However, I am currently working on configuring virtualization and virtual machines for a customer, a task that requires the use of these tools.

I'm from a Red Hat background and I also have experience working on SUSE. In my previous deployment, I found that SUSE was working slightly better than Red Hat. The main reason is that when we hand over the system to the team and we do a system readiness, everything is automated. Compare this with Red Hat, where there are some manual things that we need to do using the command line and from the sysctl settings as well.

One of the things that we need to explain to customers is why we recommend using SUSE Linux Enterprise over Red Hat, which they may already have installed.

A nice feature that Red Hat Spacewalk has is that it will automatically perform a vulnerability check on the Red Hat servers, which is something that SUSE is missing.

We have also used Windows Server for the same purpose. We found that on Linux, it is easier to use compared to deploying on Windows Server for some of those web-based applications. We do not need to have much interaction with it.

I'm familiar with Red Hat and Oracle as well.

I started my career as a web developer. I was really fond of cross-platform applications and cross-platform development. I've interacted with Mac operating systems. I've interacted with Windows, mainly. Nowadays, my personal favorite is an operating system called FreeBSD, which is not related to Linux at all. It's Linux-based, yet it's not Linux. It's different. Also, I have dealt with Android and iOS and that's mainly it. Windows, Linux, Macs, and the FreeBSD.

My organization moved from Solaris and HP-UX to SLES. These vendors' OEM hardware became too expensive and we were looking for an alternative. 

SLES proved to be a very extendable product, supporting most, if not all of our infrastructure. The major reason I chose to use the product was the extensive enterprise peripheral support. Out-of-the-box SLES supported all of our HBAs and hardware specific components. This was really what sold me.

I have used various different distributions of Linux. Currently, I am supporting Ubuntu and CentOS server deployments.

I have dealt with the Red Hat solution. 

I have been working with the cloud version of Microsoft. NET Framework for 10 years. We use it for administration processes and finance.

Previously, we used Microsoft products. The expensive license fees made us switch to open source.

Compared to Windows, use is more stable and scalable; easy to manage.
