Helps to run Python-based scripts but needs enhancement in user experience
The most important feature of the solution is the ability to run Python-based scripts.  Mode Analytics needs to improve the overall user experience.  I have been working with the solution for two years.  I rate the solution's stability a ten out of ten.  I rate the tool's scalability a seven…

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.

Pros

"The most valuable feature I would say is the flexibility in editing."
"The solution is simple for people from a viewing perspective, not a coding perspective."

"The most important feature of the solution is the ability to run Python-based scripts."
"It is very easy to maintain, migrate and upgrade."
"The return on investment has been significant, especially considering its cost-effectiveness compared to other solutions."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"It's a flexible solution."
"The solution is easy to use, secure and allows for simple manipulation."
"Out-of-the-box SLES supported all of our HBAs and hardware specific components."
"The initial setup for most modern Linux distributions is normally straightforward. Most of the common distributions use an ncurses or GUI install."
"SUSE Linux was stable for me. I did not experience any problems with its stability."
 

Cons

"Mode Analytics needs to improve the overall user experience."
"I think in terms of User Interface, I would say it can be better."
"The solution could run faster."
"The data visualization is cumbersome in Mode Analytics. I want the solution to add a map that has an easy interface. The UI is slow sometimes."
"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."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"Sometimes it is a bit of work for developers to change the configurations."
"Compared with the competition, of late actually, the solution has increased its pricing tremendously."
"The solution has to be fine-tuned with better documentation."
"The free version sometimes has security holes."
"I would appreciate the product's future releases being lighter and operating more efficiently on smaller systems."
"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

"My decision-maker found the pricing expensive, but it is okay for me."
"Mode Analytics is cheap compared to other tools."
"The pricing is per user."
"The product's licensing options align well with the evolving landscape of Linux variants."
"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."
"The product is expensive. We purchase its yearly license."
"The license we pay is for Oracle. We make use of the community edition."
"When we first implemented this product, we had licenses for support."
"The platform is affordable."
"I have to pay for a license in order to get support."
