ROI

Sentiment score
4.2
Google Chrome Enterprise reduces costs by extending device life and minimizing IT expenses with affordable licensing and maintenance.
Sentiment score
4.8
SUSE Linux Enterprise provides higher returns for SAP deployments than Red Hat, offering cost-effective subscription pricing and support savings.
I have seen a return on investment by switching our clusters from on-prem to Azure public cloud, using our same Bring Your Own Licenses, which saved costs on licensing.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
3.6
Google Chrome Enterprise support is generally positive, with helpfulness praised, but users desire improved accessibility and installation guidance.
Sentiment score
6.2
SUSE Linux Enterprise offers reliable paid support with variable costs, often supplemented by community resources and user forums.
There could be more detailed guidance on new installations like Google Authenticator, as the process is often vague and lacks fine-tuned information.
The online support often redirects us to FAQs instead of connecting to a real person.
If I were to rate support for Google Chrome Enterprise from 1 to 10, with 10 being the best, I would give it nine.
SUSE Linux Enterprise provides a stable, secure, and well-supported platform for enterprise workloads, with powerful management tools and robust support for clustering, cloud, and containers.
The customer support is good; whenever we have opened a case, they have provided detailed explanations of the issues and resolutions.
I rate the customer service 10 out of 10 because SUSE has 24/7 availability support, extended support, security, multi-Linux distribution support, upgradation, and everything is user-friendly.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.2
Google Chrome Enterprise is highly scalable, efficient on old devices, and leads in cloud-based system adoption and management.
Sentiment score
6.6
SUSE Linux Enterprise is scalable, easy to maintain, cloud-compatible, and reliable, although some package compatibility issues exist.
Firefox is slightly more efficient as it uses less memory.
Its scalability is quite good since we are using Azure, which allows us to easily scale up or down our resources as needed.
SUSE Linux Enterprise is widely recognized for its strong scalability, making it suitable for organizations of all sizes, from small businesses to global enterprises.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
3.8
Google Chrome Enterprise is praised for its stability and reliability, with occasional issues possibly due to hardware constraints.
Sentiment score
8.0
SUSE Linux Enterprise is stable and reliable, with occasional glitches, especially in newer versions or specific configurations.
Google Chrome Enterprise is stable, and I haven't faced any stability problems.
The servers work properly, provide alerts for high CPU and memory usage, but do not encounter CPU or memory issues.
 

Room For Improvement

Google Chrome Enterprise users seek better RAM management, improved speed, AI features, pricing flexibility, and broader market availability.
Users of SUSE Linux Enterprise face challenges with updates, integration, costs, support, and seek improved documentation and features.
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.
Security is a top concern, and further strengthening default security policies, simplifying compliance management, and integrating advanced vulnerability management tools would be a valuable improvement.
The license we subscribed to should carry over within the same instance family.
We face difficulties troubleshooting issues without sufficient resources.
 

Setup Cost

Google Chrome Enterprise pricing is reasonable, with license costs varying and education discounts, praised for security and responsive resellers.
SUSE Linux pricing is mixed, affordable compared to Red Hat, but costs increase with support and add-ons.
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.
Upgrading an instance results in overlapping or double subscription fees.
The licensing cost is a bit high.
 

Valuable Features

Google Chrome Enterprise ensures security, seamless integration, and productivity with automatic updates, cloud operations, and extensive device synchronization.
SUSE Linux Enterprise is praised for seamless upgrades, YaST management, Oracle/SAP support, security, performance, and BTRFS flexibility.
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.
SUSE Linux Enterprise is designed for scalability with built-in support for high availability, clustering, and seamless integration with major cloud platforms.
SUSE has a high availability cluster with syncing, and in production environments where zero downtime is expected, the high availability SAP cluster helps us to keep production up 24/7.
The LVM is very easy to configure, along with simple disk scanning compared to other systems.

Featured Reviews

Sonu Thomas - PeerSpot reviewer
Adapting to changes is smooth with flexible storage options and responsive support
I can't use Google Chrome Enterprise for my bank site because it could be the bank site issue. Something is breaking on the logging page itself, so it could be a cookies issue. As long as it is working in Edge, I am content with that. Google account storage could use some improvements. They should have a better compression mechanism or increase the free data space to the next level; at least make it 30 or 40 GB. According to the current trend, increasing the free version is better so that people can sustain for some time before making a purchase. There could be more flexible options for pricing and license for Google Chrome Enterprise. Currently, there are maybe two, three, or four options, but there should be something lesser than one TB. Customers should be able to choose extra storage according to their needs, such as 50 GB on demand, rather than predefined sizes. There aren't many complaints about the Google Admin console; maybe some improvements, especially with the parent control part. Perhaps I didn't explore that much; that could be a reason.

Has delivered expert training and enabled smooth migrations using automated deployment tools
SUSE Linux Enterprise is a mature and reliable platform, but there are areas where it can be improved. Modernizing the system management tools is important as many users appreciate YaST for its centralized management, but there is a growing demand for more modern, web-based, and modular tools. The introduction of tools such as Agama, a web-based installer, and Cockpit in newer releases is a step in the right direction.SUSE has made progress with multi-Linux support, allowing organizations to manage and support not just SUSE systems but also other distributions such as Red Hat and CentOS; continuing to expand these capabilities, especially for hybrid and multi-cloud environments, will help organizations manage diverse infrastructure more effectively. Security is a top concern, and further strengthening default security policies, simplifying compliance management, and integrating advanced vulnerability management tools would be a valuable improvement.
