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 is great due to the fact that it actually is meant for high-end servers."
"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 is pre-installed in our environment. Thus, it is simple to customize."
"Its networking has helped me combine the power of a neural network with the benefits of virtualization to improve the AI's performance."
"One of the main features of this solution is the ease of use."
"Solaris's best features are high availability, robustness, and database hosting."
"Solaris' best feature is its stability."
"Solaris Zones and Containers are my favorite features."
"The solution overall works well."
"Windows 10 is stable. Its performance is good."
"The Windows Store concept, in my opinion, is valuable."
"I have found no bugs or glitches in the solution."
"The most valuable feature is that it's a good enough operating system for anyone who isn't technically proficient."
"The ease of use has been great. It feels quicker and smoother."
"It's very simple to use."
"The solution is easy to use."
"If it could support other file systems, it would be better."
"It is not easy to use. It doesn't have a user-friendly interface. It should be easy to use. We are planning to move from Solaris to Linux because Linux is more flexible and user-friendly. Its installation should also be easier. Solaris also needs specific hardware to work well, which is another reason why we are moving to Linux. It should be more flexible in terms of hardware. It should have better integration with other hardware platforms."
"I would love to see improvements in SVM, so file systems could be increased or migrated without downtime to the environment, similar to what ZFS is capable of."
"Solaris is not easy to use. It needs better GUI, UI, and configuration tools."
"Solaris' package management could be improved, especially in comparison to Linux."
"The solution is pricey and can be improved by lowering the cost."
"Oracle Solaris can improve by supporting all the recent features that are in the market from other competitors."
"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."
"I would prefer to see an OS that is lighter."
"The price could be cheaper. If they want to compete with Linux, they need to actually come out at a lesser cost."
"The license for Windows 10 is a little bit expensive."
"Windows 10 should provide more frequent updates."
"Windows 10 could be improved with faster upgrades. I know they already made changes to the next version, so maybe I have to upgrade first and then check whatever I think was missing. Apart from that, I haven't really had any issues."
"They should lower the price point."
"Windows 10 could improve the performance of the interface, it was faster in Windows 8."
"I would just recommend that they focus more on security."
