Featured Reviews

Nitesh Saxena - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides virus protection but needs improvement in the area of policy implementation
The product has a lot to improve in the area of policy implementation. If our company wants to give a separate policy to a particular client, user or system, it is very difficult to manage it. There is no categorization in the web filter option. If you want to search for a particular content to be blocked in the web filter, the search option is not there. You have to manually choose the option in the tool and then check it.
Naveen Venugopal - PeerSpot reviewer
Efficient IT management with crucial automatic updates but needs developer-friendly configuration
Sometimes it is a bit of work for developers to change the configurations. Some kernels will not fit with some packages, and this aspect could be improved. Furthermore, the system's rigidity when updating packages and services needs improvement. Additionally, there should be more loosely bound functionalities to improve developer experience.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Phish Blocker is a valuable feature."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"SUSE Linux Enterprise is stable."
"Out-of-the-box SLES supported all of our HBAs and hardware specific components."
"The tool’s idempotency ensures all configurations are in place at all times."
"It's a flexible solution."
"The main feature is that Linux is flexible to work with for most web-based applications."
"SUSE Linux had a clean user interface, which was a valuable feature for me."
"The most important feature is the automatic kernel lifecycle subscription, which is critical for us because the server cannot go down once we start offering any services on the cluster."
"It's easy to set up."
 

Cons

"The product has a lot to improve in the area of policy implementation."
"The documentation is not clear."
"SUSE could make more APIs available."
"The solution could be more stable."
"Compared with the competition, of late actually, the solution has increased its pricing tremendously."
"The free version sometimes has security holes."
"Red Hat has more packages that are available than SUSE does. I'd love to see more projects based on SUSE."
"When working in a Department of Defense environment, Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) have to be followed. SLES is not really addressed directly here. It did make following security policy difficult."
"All distributions of Linux could use some improvement."
"The only stability issues that I can recall encountering with SUSE would be with KDE. However, that is limited to just the desktop environment as I have not had stability issues with ​most server functions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is quite cheap."
"I consider it an averagely-priced tool."
"As far as licensing goes, there is nothing unusual here. The price and model have worked fine for my organization."
"Anyone can use Linux because it is open-source."
"There is a free tier and a paid support tier. If you do not need support, then the solution is free to use. If you need support then there is an option for that as well."
"I would advise others to download the free or strictly open source versions, then test them in their environment before committing to a purchase. This will allow for testing suitability for applications that they want to run."
"I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"The platform is affordable."
"The license we pay is for Oracle. We make use of the community edition."
"The tool is expensive compared to Red Hat. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
