Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
7.4
Google Chrome Enterprise cuts infrastructure costs and revitalizes devices, offering significant time savings despite minimal license discounts.
Sentiment score
8.8
Oracle Linux enhances ROI through cost savings, reliability, security resources, and integration with Oracle applications, reducing operational costs.
Everything from Oracle tools to applications is well integrated within Oracle Linux.
Our team is comfortable using Oracle Linux as it integrates well with Oracle tools, making everything work seamlessly.
Oracle Linux contributed to reducing our operational costs by about ten percent by saving us from the operating system and license costs we would have had to pay Microsoft.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
5.3
Google Chrome Enterprise provides useful online help, but direct support can be delayed, with mixed customer service experiences.
Sentiment score
7.1
Oracle Linux support varies in quality, praised for knowledgeable staff but criticized for responsiveness and inconsistency across service tiers.
The online support often redirects us to FAQs instead of connecting to a real person.
There could be more detailed guidance on new installations like Google Authenticator, as the process is often vague and lacks fine-tuned information.
Not all support engineers at Oracle are the same, so sometimes I experience good support that resolves issues quickly, while other times, it loops.
Oracle's technical support is excellent.
It is not as helpful or friendly as their application support.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.6
Google Chrome Enterprise is scalable, versatile, and highly rated for remote management, despite Firefox potentially using less memory.
Sentiment score
7.4
Oracle Linux excels in scalability, handling diverse workloads effectively in varied environments with reliable performance and flexibility.
Firefox is slightly more efficient as it uses less memory.
It handles device performance well, automatically managing any issues that arise.
Oracle should make the process faster, as we sometimes have to use a previous processor model to ensure compatibility.
New processor models sometimes lack immediate compatibility with Oracle Linux, requiring the use of previous models until support is available.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
6.6
Google Chrome Enterprise is praised for exceptional stability and performance, though lower-spec systems may face issues with many tabs.
Sentiment score
8.1
Oracle Linux is praised for its stability, robustness, and performance, making it a trusted choice for diverse enterprise environments.
Google Chrome Enterprise is stable, and I haven't faced any stability problems.
Testing determines stability, as continuous Linux use and installations reveal more bugs.
Oracle Linux is very stable.
Our environment is locally deployed, and there are no performance issues or latency problems.
 

Room For Improvement

Google Chrome Enterprise needs better memory management, AI integration, and security updates while addressing virtualization and plugin concerns.
Oracle Linux needs improvements in security, usability, compatibility, cloud capabilities, and support to compete with Red Hat.
If we have a laptop with basic configuration, it eats up a lot of RAM and slows down the system.
This causes hesitation in installing them due to concerns about hidden costs and inadequate information.
Having a user interface would make tasks easier, saving time by avoiding the need to remember command-line instructions.
There are significant limitations as we are not able to customize the system, and we are forced to use standard features which are not suitable for our business.
Oracle Linux's outage management can be improved to better handle outages.
 

Setup Cost

Google Chrome Enterprise pricing is competitive, with discounts available, praised for value in security and maintenance over competitors.
Oracle Linux is free and open-source, but paid support is cost-effective with negotiable prices compared to competitors.
It's a bit on the higher side, but we prefer to stick with it because of the security, ease of maintenance, and the company's reputation.
While ERP might be expensive, Oracle Linux and KVMs are not on the higher side.
The cost of Microsoft OS is pretty high, and switching to Oracle Linux, which is free, reduced our costs by about 20% to 25%.
Oracle Linux is affordable.
 

Valuable Features

Google Chrome Enterprise offers robust security, centralized management, and efficiency with seamless device access, affordability, and consistent performance.
Oracle Linux offers stability, integration with Oracle products, cost-effectiveness, security, and seamless migration, optimized for enterprise environments.
The security it offers is an advantage, which is crucial for us due to HIPAA compliance concerns.
Google Chrome Enterprise is my preferred browser over Firefox and Microsoft Edge.
I enjoy using features that are more sophisticated in terms of centralized management to maintain consistent security.
Since it's from the same vendor as Oracle applications, it's easier to manage issues, making not just the solution cost-effective but also streamlined in management.
Oracle Linux offers an unbreakable system.
Oracle Linux has American Standard levels of security, which I consider to be quite good.

Thomas Waltair - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides outstanding performance and resource savings with effective customer service
The solution works closely with the operating system kernel, which gives better performance in terms of multi-threading and a distributed database. We work based on Oracle specifications, and whenever there are critical patches and vulnerability tests, we update with the latest security patches. The collaboration with Oracle WebLogic and other Oracle tools enhances performance as well.
