We performed a comparison between Oracle Solaris and Windows 10 based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Operating Systems (OS) for Business solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"We like that the virtualization is built in, so you don't have to spend extra money on buying licenses for a hypervisor."
"It is a scalable solution. I recommend it for bigger companies."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"This product is stable, has good documentation, lots of solutions, a big community, and good support."
"It stands out for its exceptional stability."
"The ability to manipulate the zones and the files within the zones from a global OS provides us flexibility that no other virtualization can match."
"Oracle Solaris provides an ease of use."
"Windows is so widely used that almost every problem has been encountered by someone else. There are usually multiple solutions or workarounds available online. So, in that sense, the support is pretty good."
"I like that it's really easy to use."
"I have found Windows 10 much better than the previous versions. It performs well, is easy to use, and is easy to use for new users."
"I like how Windows 10 is quite stable."
"The latest versions of the solution have increased their level of stability. It's quite good now."
"The most valuable feature is the interface."
"Technical support is available 24/7 and we find them to be helpful."
"I have found that the solution is easy to use, intuitive, and has a good user interface."
"The scalability of the solution can be improved."
"The Solaris code is open, and the documentation is accessible to all, not only to registered users. Also, the documentation does not support some solutions, and there are no other options."
"Solaris' package management could be improved, especially in comparison to Linux."
"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."
"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."
"They could also enable Oracle OEM for x86 architecture as well."
"I don't want to receive any updates on Oracle"
"The solution is pricey and can be improved by lowering the cost."
"Increasing the security would be beneficial."
"The user interface could improve for the Portuguese language and more features should be added."
"It would be better if there were more integration with Linux and Azure."
"If you need servers to be deployed in a production environment then you definitely want to look at a different operating system."
"The solution could be more secure."
"It would be nice if the next version of Windows had more integration."
"The solution’s security and stability could be improved."
"The solution could improve by adding more dashboards."
