We performed a comparison between openSUSE Leap and Oracle Solaris 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 solution is very stable after it is configured. It is hard to have a panel slow, a problem, misconfiguration, or any kind of loss function."
"I use openSUSE Leap as the base for the Kubernetes cluster we run in-house."
"The most valuable feature by far has been the virtualization capabilities of the operating system."
"openSUSE Leap has helped me with using containers in Podman."
"The solution is easy for me to use because the backend is derived from FreeBSD and this is something I have been using for over 20 years."
"Stable - it just runs without the necessity to reboot."
"We use the solution as an internal operating system."
"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."
"Solaris's best features are high availability, robustness, and database hosting."
"Oracle Solaris's operating system is good."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Solaris is the incremental backup that happens in the system."
"Its networking has helped me combine the power of a neural network with the benefits of virtualization to improve the AI's performance."
"It is a scalable solution. I recommend it for bigger companies."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"There is room for improvement in the console."
"The initial system setup or network configuration of the solution is not straightforward and can be improved."
"Like most Linux-based operating systems, the biggest challenge Leap faces is the GUI."
"I would like openSUSE Leap to have better link integration with Windows."
"Somehow the change from OS12.x via 13.x to Leap was a bit bumpy and some old issues seemed to reappear."
"In the future, the Active Directory could improve."
"More monitoring tools could be included in the product."
"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."
"The tool is quite complex and difficult for anyone trying to use or study it."
"The scalability of the solution can be improved."
"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."
"Red Hat Enterprise Linux is more secure and better documented. So Oracle could learn from them when it comes to security and documentation."
"The challenge arises from the differences in commands and configurations compared to more common systems like Linux."
