We performed a comparison between openSUSE Leap, Oracle Solaris, and Ubuntu Linux 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."The most valuable feature by far has been the virtualization capabilities of the operating system."
"Stable - it just runs without the necessity to reboot."
"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."
"I use openSUSE Leap as the base for the Kubernetes cluster we run in-house."
"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."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten since we haven't faced any issues."
"Oracle Solaris was the preferred operating system for their customers to run their databases on and to get the best performance. It performs well with Oracle applications. Additionally, there are some features inside that are called zones which are Linux containers."
"It stands out for its exceptional stability."
"One of the main features of this solution is the ease of use."
"The product's most valuable feature is partitioning resources and optimizing hardware utilization effectively."
"It is a scalable solution. I recommend it for bigger companies."
"Oracle Solaris provides an ease of use."
"This product is stable, has good documentation, lots of solutions, a big community, and good support."
"It is scalable. I can customize it based on what I want to do."
"Ubuntu Linux is easy to start, and MicroK8s is easy to deploy. Plug into the back-end storage and networking is also easy. It is good to start with 3-4 nodes, but hard to scale. For production grades like 20 or 100 nodes, we go with the RedHat for on-premise."
"RTO with the use of templating support for VMware for fast deployment of recovery or new systems, with the least amount work needed on custom settings, within application installed from install repositories. Shorter overall time with the vetted packages. Normally install and go."
"The auto upgrade operating system feature."
"Ubuntu is good for machine learning. It's also a good option for any type of application, like multimedia and movies."
"Its performance is valuable. I am satisfied with it."
"It is stable and quite easy to use as compared to other Linux operating systems. They have created a system like Windows. It is simple and without any problems."
"The most valuable feature of Ubuntu Linux is the price because we don't need to pay as it is used for selling equipment."
"I would like openSUSE Leap to have better link integration with Windows."
"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."
"Like most Linux-based operating systems, the biggest challenge Leap faces is the GUI."
"There is room for improvement in the console."
"The scalability of the solution can be improved."
"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."
"Oracle Solaris can improve by supporting all the recent features that are in the market from other competitors."
"Solaris' package management could be improved, especially in comparison to Linux."
"It is not easy to use. It doesn't have a user-friendly interface. It should be easy to use. We are planning to move from Solaris to Linux because Linux is more flexible and user-friendly. Its installation should also be easier. Solaris also needs specific hardware to work well, which is another reason why we are moving to Linux. It should be more flexible in terms of hardware. It should have better integration with other hardware platforms."
"Red Hat Enterprise Linux is more secure and better documented. So Oracle could learn from them when it comes to security and documentation."
"The primary drawback with this product is the lack of version updates."
"There is an issue where Solaris doesn't give the correct figures for memory use when checked."
"More drivers for hardware such as different network adapters should be developed."
"The config file can be changed in many ways, but with other solutions, there is only one way to configure the system."
"Like most Linux systems, they can just keep increasing support in Ubuntu for hardware systems. They can increase the number of drivers so that Ubuntu can work on more hardware. They have been improving greatly, but they can definitely keep doing that."
"Lacks the ability for disk expansion."
"People with a Windows background may not find the solution's user interface user-friendly."
"Lack of integration with other operating systems."
"The solution could be more stable and secure."
"The documentation is very poor."
