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."This product is stable, has good documentation, lots of solutions, a big community, and good support."
"Solaris's best features are high availability, robustness, and database hosting."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Solaris is the incremental backup that happens in the system."
"Solaris is scalable because they have their own file system, like CFS."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten since we haven't faced any issues."
"We like that the virtualization is built in, so you don't have to spend extra money on buying licenses for a hypervisor."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of setup."
"Microsoft recently has been doing a lot to improve their products and we've been happy with the advances."
"The installation process is pretty easy."
"I like that it's a very easy solution to use. It's also very easy to integrate it for our customers. It's a very intuitive operating system, and if they take their time to go through it quickly, they can use it without any support."
"One of the most valuable features is that there is one processor. Some other valuable features are the firewall, antivirus protection, Microsoft Defender, and Outlook."
"The most valuable feature is how friendly the interface is. I expect that we will soon go up to Windows 11 because it's already available."
"Windows 10 is a pretty standard platform. It does its job."
"The solution overall works well."
"I have found Windows 10 to be very user-friendly and has good performance."
"The solution is pricey and can be improved by lowering the cost."
"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."
"Solaris is not easy to use. It needs better GUI, UI, and configuration tools."
"There is an issue where Solaris doesn't give the correct figures for memory use when checked."
"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 don't want to receive any updates on Oracle"
"This product is not as flexible as other similar solutions on the market today."
"It's difficult to determine the source of an issue when it comes to performance."
"Windows explorer does not support two windows systems."
"There is a lot of preloaded information on Windows 10, that impacts the memory position."
"So it would be nice to have the option to switch between this design and the previous one. Working with Windows 7, I preferred to use commands or applications like in the old version."
"Security-wise, Windows 10 should be more stable."
"The performance isn't perfect. It does not provide a good value for the money you spend on it."
"I would prefer it if the solution was cheaper."
"Windows 10 is not so stable sometimes. We've seen bugs before, so we contacted Microsoft technical support and they resolved it."
