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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Using InfrOS accelerates the process of migration planning and execution."
"I have observed improvements in CI/CD infrastructure optimization, designing AI-native workloads, exploring pricing alternatives, and forecasting."
"It is a stable platform."
"The solution is easy to use, secure and allows for simple manipulation."
"SUSE Linux Enterprise is scalable."
"SUSE is one of the more mature versions of Linux and one of the best out there - it's very easy to install and upgrade."
"The initial setup for most modern Linux distributions is normally straightforward. Most of the common distributions use an ncurses or GUI install."
"The technical support services are good."
"The most valuable feature is that there is an inbuilt HANA firewall."
"The initial setup is simple and takes five minutes for deployment and if you have automation in place, it will take four minutes."
 

Cons

"I would really like to have features that will help me analyze my usage on existing environments in the cloud and suggest architectural optimization improvements."
"There is room for improvement in the Github connection."
"I have not seen an ROI with this solution."
"We have had trouble integrating Autodesk with the SUSE manager."
"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."
"The product must improve its UI."
"The documentation part needs to be better to highlight these features."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"They should probably just make clustering a bit simpler and also provide more descriptive log files for cluster services."
"We have had trouble integrating Autodesk with the SUSE manager."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"The license we pay is for Oracle. We make use of the community edition."
"I have to pay for a license in order to get support."
"SUSE Linux Enterprise is reasonably priced compared to other operating systems. I find it's a much better option for us than Oracle, for example, because of the pricing structure. The pricing is easier to explain to clients and makes it easier to get clients' commitment. The licensing is also simpler to manage and keep track of. Their responsiveness is great - they give feedback very quickly when we ask questions about licensing or other aspects. This helps ensure we're always at the gold standard regarding licensing and everything related to SUSE Linux Enterprise."
"As far as licensing goes, there is nothing unusual here. The price and model have worked fine for my organization."
"Regarding pricing, everybody would want it to be cheaper."
"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 price is reasonable."
