We performed a comparison between openSUSE Leap, Oracle Linux, and Oracle Solaris based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Canonical, Oracle and others in Operating Systems (OS) for Business."I use openSUSE Leap as the base for the Kubernetes cluster we run in-house."
"The most valuable feature by far has been the virtualization capabilities of the operating system."
"openSUSE Leap has helped me with using containers in Podman."
"The solution is easy for me to use because the backend is derived from FreeBSD and this is something I have been using for over 20 years."
"The solution is very stable after it is configured. It is hard to have a panel slow, a problem, misconfiguration, or any kind of loss function."
"Stable - it just runs without the necessity to reboot."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Oracle Linux for Oracle databases is the top. There's no doubt whatsoever."
"The stability is excellent and the initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable features are performance, frequent update patches, and security."
"If we use Linux, Solaris, or some other operating systems, we have to build a lot of packages using RPMs (the packet manager). That's a difficult task. With Oracle Linux, we use a single command to update from the Oracle website."
"The performance is good and the solution has been stable."
"The speed is quite good."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of the commands which take little time to learn."
"Solaris' best feature is its stability."
"Oracle Solaris is pre-installed in our environment. Thus, it is simple to customize."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of setup."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"It works well. It is very stable and very good. It is also very safe. It cannot be easily infected by viruses or attacks."
"Solaris's best features are high availability, robustness, and database hosting."
"This product is stable, has good documentation, lots of solutions, a big community, and good support."
"The product's most valuable feature is partitioning resources and optimizing hardware utilization effectively."
"The initial system setup or network configuration of the solution is not straightforward and can be improved."
"Somehow the change from OS12.x via 13.x to Leap was a bit bumpy and some old issues seemed to reappear."
"In the future, the Active Directory could improve."
"There is room for improvement in the console."
"Like most Linux-based operating systems, the biggest challenge Leap faces is the GUI."
"I would like openSUSE Leap to have better link integration with Windows."
"Oracle Linux, needs to support more packages."
"We'd like it if it was a bit more secure."
"I think they should also pay more attention to the open-source community."
"The product's support is expensive."
"The download speed is not good. Oracle can improve their servers capacity, especially in Asia."
"Oracle Linux performs best on Linux or Unix. However, you cannot get the same performance or stability in Windows."
"They could introduce the same level of remote capabilities, which are available with VMware applications to build distant environments."
"The GUI could be made more attractive."
"Oracle customer service is slow at times."
"When we switch over to Solaris it was not easy because we had some troubles with the performance. Solaris is from Oracle and you would expect that it would run flawlessly, but we had some issues in sizing the previous Linux environment to the Solaris environment."
"I don't want to receive any updates on Oracle"
"Oracle Solaris can improve by supporting all the recent features that are in the market from other competitors."
"The solution is pricey and can be improved by lowering the cost."
"Solaris is not easy to use. It needs better GUI, UI, and configuration tools."
"There is an issue where Solaris doesn't give the correct figures for memory use when checked."
"Currently, there are two variants, there's SPARC and there's x86. I would have wanted a scenario where they're all just one product."
