Featured Reviews

Martin Kuenzle - PeerSpot reviewer
Allows domain experts who aren't software developers to create domain models
For improvements, I'd like to see more maturity in the product, especially regarding enterprise vendor lock-in. The whole area isn't mature enough yet. I think it will develop over time. More competitors are coming up now. I'd like to see better integration with specific vendors who specialize in managing data products. We need more standards beyond the W3C standards from the semantic web that have been around for twenty-five years.
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

"metaphactory is a central tool for implementing these data products. We're considering it for pharmaceutical modeling and connecting to graph databases. It's the only product our company uses with Graph DB."
"It is very easy to maintain, migrate and upgrade."
"Linux is easy to use. You have more control on a Unix system."
"SUSE Linux Enterprise is scalable."
"The solution offers a secure operation system."
"The initial setup is simple and takes five minutes for deployment and if you have automation in place, it will take four minutes."
"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."
"I have not experienced any issues with this operating system."
"SUSE Linux's most valuable feature is the documentation - there is a lot of documentation about how to create custom servers."
 

Cons

"For improvements, I'd like to see more maturity in the product, especially regarding enterprise vendor lock-in. The whole area isn't mature enough yet. I think it will develop over time. More competitors are coming up now. I'd like to see better integration with specific vendors who specialize in managing data products. We need more standards beyond the W3C standards from the semantic web that have been around for twenty-five years."
"They should probably just make clustering a bit simpler and also provide more descriptive log files for cluster services."
"The quality of support offered by SUSE Linux Enterprise is not that great, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The software management side was a bit difficult, especially compared to Ubuntu."
"All distributions of Linux could use some improvement."
"Sometimes it is a bit of work for developers to change the configurations."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"SUSE could make more APIs available."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."
"Anyone can use Linux because it is open-source."
"The price is reasonable."
"As far as licensing goes, there is nothing unusual here. The price and model have worked fine for my organization."
"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 product is expensive. We purchase its yearly license."
"There is no license for this solution, there is only a subscription of support available."
"The platform is affordable."
"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."
