openSUSE Leap Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Senior Manager at Cognizant4.5I test servers with openSUSE Leap before deploying them with SUSE Linux Enterprise in our office. The BTRFS file system for snapshots is invaluable. It's cost-effective compared to Red Hat, although switching seamlessly to SUSE Enterprise could be improved.
CEO at Scott Solutions LLC5.0I use Leap for stable, enterprise-class virtualization, especially for smaller clients, finding its capabilities impressive and a seamless SLES alternative. While the GUI is a challenge, I'm a very big fan.
Judicial Technician - Specialty Computer Operator at Tribunal Regional do Trabalho da 4ª Região - Porto Alegre/RS4.5I use openSUSE Leap as a secure operating system for servers due to its stability. However, configuring my video card is challenging due to limited documentation. Better integration with Windows is needed. I previously switched from SolarWinds because it was outdated.
Talent Acquisition Manager, APAC at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees4.5After a hack, I chose openSUSE Leap for its secure firewall, finding it stable, scalable, and easy due to my FreeBSD experience. Though Active Directory needs improvement, I highly recommend this solution. Setup was easy and cost reasonable.
Director Technology & Engineering at a retailer with 10,001+ employees4.0For private use, I find this solution very stable with good open-source support. My only concern is that upgrading from previous OS versions to Leap was bumpy, though this wouldn't impact new users.
Maintenance Specialist at Tecnomatica5.0I use openSUSE Leap for DevOps, especially with containers in Podman, and find it easy to manage servers compared to other tools. However, improvements are needed in the console, automation, and application integration. It's a worthwhile investment.
