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."
"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 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."
"openSUSE Leap has helped me with using containers in Podman."
"Stable - it just runs without the necessity to reboot."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that Linux has cost-effective licenses."
"I like this product much better than some other similar solutions."
"The solution is scalable."
"The initial setup is simple."
"I think Ubuntu's main strength, as opposed to using the other Linuxes, has been its ability to encourage user feedback."
"For us, OpenStack is awesome. We want something that will be much simpler than a broad and complicated solution."
"I like its computation speed compared to Windows and other similar features."
"Windows Server is most commonly used and practiced."
"It's important to us that it is easy to use and has easy maintenance because we don't have specialists"
"The main feature of the solution is it has a graphical interface."
"Setting up Windows Server is pretty straightforward. It takes anywhere from a few hours to a day. One person can do it if it's not a complex environment."
"Windows Server can be used for any kind of application. It is an operating system that supports enterprise applications. There is no application that doesn't go with Windows."
"I like that it's a stable product. For me, it's working fine."
"The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"The biggest advantage of Windows Server is the services. It offers the ability to configure services, so your application can run on a Windows Server."
"In the future, the Active Directory could improve."
"There is room for improvement in the console."
"I would like openSUSE Leap to have better link integration with Windows."
"Somehow the change from OS12.x via 13.x to Leap was a bit bumpy and some old issues seemed to reappear."
"Like most Linux-based operating systems, the biggest challenge Leap faces is the GUI."
"The initial system setup or network configuration of the solution is not straightforward and can be improved."
"The solution could improve by being more user-friendly."
"Ubuntu Linux could improve by having more out-of-the-box functionality for common plug-and-play devices, such as printers. It's sometimes more difficult to plug-and-play printers with Ubuntu Linux. You need to work a bit and make some drivers work. They need to work a bit on plug-and-play devices."
"The config file can be changed in many ways, but with other solutions, there is only one way to configure the system."
"Developing more applications for businesses could work better, but that is not part of the OS piece. Let the developers work on other apps, therefore the needs for consuming less memory do not affect the performance of this OS version."
"The solution's initial setup is complex, and its technical support is not very good."
"On the gaming side, things are happening but there are some games that should be ported to Ubuntu."
"The solution could improve by having the user interface use fewer resources."
"I find the solution could be easier to use, more flexible, user-friendly, and have a better UI."
"I would like to see better integration with other operating systems."
"The performance is good but we have had some issues when we use virtual machines."
"There's a short availability that could be much better."
"Compared to Linux, the solution is a bit difficult to deploy."
"The solution's licensing cost is expensive and could be improved."
"Windows Server could always be more secure."
"Windows Server could be improved with cheaper licensing costs."
"The solution could offer higher availability."
