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 is great due to the fact that it actually is meant for high-end servers."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"We like that the virtualization is built in, so you don't have to spend extra money on buying licenses for a hypervisor."
"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."
"Its networking has helped me combine the power of a neural network with the benefits of virtualization to improve the AI's performance."
"Solaris' best feature is its stability."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Solaris is the incremental backup that happens in the system."
"Solaris Zones and Containers are my favorite features."
"The operating system itself is good."
"Good user interface, flexible and stable."
"The initial setup was fairly straightforward. It took just about a day."
"It is stable. I have a lot of applications running on it, and all the applications are running fine. I don't have any problems with it."
"It's easy to use."
"I have found that the solution is easy to use, intuitive, and has a good user interface."
"Windows 10 provides good functionality and is easy to use."
"With Windows 10, unlike the earlier versions, you have Defender, which is an added advantage."
"The primary drawback with this product is the lack of version updates."
"It would be helpful if the solution offered backend management. In the 11.4 version, Oracle added a management console. It would be great if we maybe had a user management tool to go with it."
"The challenge arises from the differences in commands and configurations compared to more common systems like Linux."
"More monitoring tools could be included in the product."
"If it could support other file systems, it would be better."
"This product is not as flexible as other similar solutions on the market today."
"The scalability of the solution can be improved."
"Oracle customer service is slow at times."
"The solution can improve by making it more private and allowing users to know what operations are going on in the background code."
"They need better upgrading. It is not updating for me at all."
"It takes a lot of hard drive space when you're using it. I also have Windows 10 on my personal computer, and it does take up an awful lot of hard drive space. This is probably something about which nothing can be done, and it is just a pet peeve of mine."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The solution could improve by having better security."
"They should change their policy to include some basic support for more than just updates."
"It would be better if it were more stable. Security could also be better."
"I'm currently facing an issue on Windows 10 related to pop-up notifications. The problem is identifying which specific application requires attention when the taskbar notifies about an important event. For instance, when working on an application, the taskbar appears with a notification but doesn't indicate which application needs attention. I have to minimize the active application windows to identify it, which can be inconvenient."
