Managed platform has reduced our operations workload and delivers faster cluster startups
I wouldn't say it's specifically an Oracle Linux pro, but when using Oracle Linux with a Kubernetes engine, it provides you with all the necessary libraries that it needs for a startup. This means quicker startup time and quicker joining to the cluster. It's just fast when you use Oracle Linux because it's optimized for your OKE engine. When I mention quicker startup time and easier joining to the cluster, it means you have a pretty good startup when you want to scale, you don't have to wait longer times just for your nodes to come up. When you have your traffic spiking, you don't want to wait that two to three minutes extra for a node to join the cluster, so that's where you have that advantage. And even for the customers when we give them access, it's a better startup since it's optimized and has all the necessary libraries. When I mention our workload is reduced because it's managed and optimized, it is approximately 80 to 90 percent of our workload is reduced because Kubernetes also releases frequent updates. You don't have to migrate to a new one; when you're migrating, it's pretty quick. All the security patches are handled by Oracle. The newer updates are provided by Oracle, and you don't have to test it. You will need to do some rounds of testing, but way less than managing your own Linux.

Integration capabilities enhance operational efficiency while limited support impacts overall satisfaction
The most valuable feature in Zoho One is integration. You can either use custom integration using Deluge script, or there is another tool called Zoho Flow, which is similar to Zapier, where you can use it to integrate different applications. You can create webhooks, and you can use different methods to integrate all different things. Integration capability is the field where Zoho One is used mostly. Zoho One uses Zoho Analytics, which is among the top tools in the market for analytics, reporting, and dashboards. When you are using one of the top tools in the market for analytics and have its integration available, you can integrate with any of the Zoho One applications, which includes more than 45 applications, including CRM and Books. This provides you with high analytics capabilities, allowing you to create a report for anything, from anywhere, for any process.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Ksplice is the solution's most valuable aspect; basically, what that allows us to do is it allows us to patch and update the Kernel without a reboot."
"When it comes to my favorite features of Oracle Linux, I have been impressed with its ability to facilitate a smooth and efficient workflow system. This system is responsible for gathering data from multiple cameras and transferring this information to the backend systems. The system comprises around 10 to 12 servers, all of which are integrated into a highly reliable and redundant cluster setup. Currently, we are using Red Hat Linux for our production needs, however, we have plans to switch over to Oracle Linux in the near future. The reason for this change is due to the specialized nature of our system which precludes the use of cloud computing capabilities."
"The configuration with Oracle database and Oracle Center databases is easy."
"When it comes to running most Oracle products on Linux, I almost always choose Oracle Linux because of its familiarity and ease-of-use."
"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."
"Since we have migrated our workload to Oracle, we do see significant savings in our cost."
"I recommend Oracle Linux to everyone who needs the stability of RHEL and the newest kernel."
"I like the product's stable distribution. The tool offered us very good experience since it was very stable."
"Zoho One is fully customizable—in Zoho One, you get more than 45 applications, which include inventory management, accounting management, and CRM, as well as Zoho Creator, which allows you to create custom applications."
"Zoho One is a good application; I think there are a lot of tools that help you to make your work faster, you can automate a lot of operative work, so you can save time in making detailed and operative activities and just focus on the strategic."
 

Cons

"Desktop environments should be designed better."
"For larger enterprises, Oracle VM is preferred."
"I would prefer Ubuntu Linux because Oracle costs too much."
"The technical support for Oracle Linux is just okay. It is not as helpful or friendly as their application support."
"Also, you wouldn't fully replace another Linux product with Oracle Linux."
"Improve performance and integration with new releases without affecting the ability and stability of the system."
"I think there's a lot of room for improvement."
"We were using Red Hat Linux. We went to Oracle because of licensing problems. We went back to Red Hat because of support problems."
"The only area in Zoho One that can be improved is the support."
"I think that when you are running CRM and at the same time Zoho Analytics, and at the same time Zoho Recruit, the apps get very slow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is free to use with a support subscription rather than having to buy licenses."
"The solution has no fees."
"The solution is less expensive than Solaris and allows for use of existing hardware."
"This is an open-source product that can be used free of charge."
"The price of Oracle Linux could be less expensive for those who are running a small freelance company, such as I do. We use the solution fully but the income that you're receiving is slow."
"The pricing and licensing are good."
"The licensing cost is expensive. It should be reduced by at least half."
"It is an expensive solution for us."
