Optimized database workloads have run securely and reduced licensing costs through virtualization
The major advantage of Oracle Linux 9 | Support by SupportedImages is that the update is free. Not just the patching and other things, but the update, some classes and other things, and some packages which I get free updates. If someone wants to use it, the license is free. If someone needs support, they can purchase the support. If someone does not purchase the support, there are free updates from Oracle. This is the major advantage to the customer, as they say that they are getting updates free. With Red Hat Linux, I have to purchase the support, otherwise I cannot get the update. Customers prefer that they are using it free and getting the update, and if they need support, they can purchase it anytime. The other part is that Oracle database runs well on Oracle Linux 9 | Support by SupportedImages. Whenever there are Intel servers in customer places and customers want to run Oracle database, they prefer Oracle Linux 9 | Support by SupportedImages. Oracle Linux 9 | Support by SupportedImages has very better security, but a few of the packages of Oracle still are not compatible with Oracle 9. So still in database perspective and grid perspective, I prefer 8. The feature is that it is very stable, memory consumption is low, and no additional service runs in the background. I can minimize the additional services if I want to stop it, it will stop. It is basically Red Hat Linux modified kernel, so those who know Red Hat Linux earlier can easily use Oracle Linux 9 | Support by SupportedImages. The other thing is that whenever I require, I can use the KVM of Oracle Linux 9 | Support by SupportedImages free of cost for virtualization. The Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel is a valuable feature. Security part differs, as it is built by the security team and the operating system team must enforce it. However, installation is very easy. Anyone can install it within twenty minutes without issues.

Real-time chat has boosted one-to-one messaging and user engagement in my mobile projects
The best features PubNub offers, in my opinion, are one-to-one chat, as I mentioned in my review, and the great SDK documentation which allows for easy integration that does not take much time. Setting up channels, message listeners, tracking user status to determine whether users are online or offline, and ensuring reliable message delivery are all great features. I find myself relying on all three of those features the most because the presence tracking is great, the delivery speed is superb compared to other SDKs, and the user status updates immediately pop up, which is significant. The integration is very easy, so any new developers can easily understand the integration process thanks to the clear documentation. PubNub has positively impacted my organization as I have received numerous reviews and feedback stating that the chat works much faster and cleaner, and everyone appreciates it, saying it feels powerful. After implementing PubNub, I noticed positive outcomes such as client feedback acknowledging that they enjoyed the chat features and found them much faster than in other applications, which I believe is very positive feedback for any organization.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"When you run your data center in Oracle Linux 9 | Support by SupportedImages and use Oracle KVM, the value of your ROI is a maximum of two years."
"Switching to Oracle Linux 9 | Support by SupportedImages saved us around one million SAR in licensing uplift, but it did not save on employees or time, and switching required additional training."
"If we had implemented all of this on our own, we would have had to hire at least 50 more employees for that, so we are very happy with PubNub and we have saved a lot of time."
"PubNub saves development time because we do not have to create a complete chat backend and frontend from scratch, enabling a plug-and-play approach that saves time, effort, and money for the company."
"PubNub's push notification and chat features stand out because of ease of use and very easy integration within our application."
"PubNub has positively impacted my organization as I have received numerous reviews and feedback stating that the chat works much faster and cleaner, and everyone appreciates it, saying it feels powerful."
"The speed and efficiency of PubNub, which helps transfer data in real-time with very low latency, received positive feedback from our customers."
"PubNub has positively impacted my organization by reducing implementation time and developers' work, making it very easy to implement and enabling fast development that has reduced the developers' time by 40-50%."
 

Cons

"I gave Oracle Linux 9 | Support by SupportedImages a rating of nine and Oracle support a rating of five because of the difficulty in reaching a working solution and the lack of experienced consultants provided."
"The graphical management is not yet up to the mark compared to Red Hat Linux."
"The reliability of PubNub is really good, but occasionally we face issues where users complain about messages or push notifications not being delivered within a short period of time, as it occasionally takes longer, which could be due to outages."
"Since PubNub is a paid library, it may not be useful for everyone."
"I gave PubNub a rating of nine out of ten because of the many features discussed, but I deducted one point because the cost increases with scale."
"Regarding customer support from PubNub, around six years ago, we did not receive good support."
"Most of the time there are some instances at the load peak hours or sometimes payload is missed by the application or SDK at the SDK level."
"I believe PubNub can improve in terms of pricing transparency, as I previously mentioned, since that is the only thing I think should be improved because for smaller projects or startups, estimating scaling costs can be challenging."
