We performed a comparison between openSUSE Leap, Oracle Solaris, and Windows 10 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 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."
"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."
"I use openSUSE Leap as the base for the Kubernetes cluster we run in-house."
"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 stability of the solution is good."
"We like that the virtualization is built in, so you don't have to spend extra money on buying licenses for a hypervisor."
"Solaris Zones and Containers are my favorite features."
"It stands out for its exceptional stability."
"This product is stable, has good documentation, lots of solutions, a big community, and good support."
"We use the solution as an internal operating system."
"The backup capabilities are quite good."
"Oracle Solaris is great due to the fact that it actually is meant for high-end servers."
"The stability of the solution is good. it doesn't crash or freeze and there are no bugs or glitches. It's quite reliable."
"One useful feature of Windows 10 is its connectivity with mobile devices and ability to make cableless connections with external devices."
"The most valuable features of Windows 10 are the GUI and the compatibility with mostly all the software available on the market."
"It is easy to install and has good information."
"All I can say is that it's a very stable operating system."
"The solution overall works well."
"The product is quite user-friendly and easy to navigate."
"The product is powerful and fast."
"There is room for improvement in the console."
"The initial system setup or network configuration of the solution is not straightforward and can be improved."
"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."
"In the future, the Active Directory could improve."
"Somehow the change from OS12.x via 13.x to Leap was a bit bumpy and some old issues seemed to reappear."
"Solaris is not easy to use. It needs better GUI, UI, and configuration tools."
"Oracle customer service is slow at times."
"They could also enable Oracle OEM for x86 architecture as well."
"Solaris' package management could be improved, especially in comparison to Linux."
"I believe before Oracle was using Oracle Linux, they were using Oracle Solaris for their customers who are using Oracle databases. This was because it was more optimized for the hardware built for it. It has good performance for the database only. However, if you take it out of the Oracle applications, it will not do well compared to other operating systems, such as Linux or even Windows can have better performance."
"Oracle Solaris can improve by supporting all the recent features that are in the market from other competitors."
"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."
"The scalability of the solution can be improved."
"The solution could be more secure and user-friendly."
"It takes a lot of hard drive space when you're using it. I also have Windows 10 on my personal computer, and it does take up an awful lot of hard drive space. This is probably something about which nothing can be done, and it is just a pet peeve of mine."
"Users should be able to access the system remotely."
"The price could be cheaper. If they want to compete with Linux, they need to actually come out at a lesser cost."
"I would prefer it if the solution was cheaper."
"It is incompatible with some communications when you need to share some data."
"The operating system could be more configurable and compatible in integrating with other operating systems."
"The solution could improve in security, we use a third-party antivirus solution to keep it secure."
