We performed a comparison between Oracle Solaris and Ubuntu Linux 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."Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten since we haven't faced any issues."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution. I recommend it for bigger companies."
"Solaris is scalable because they have their own file system, like CFS."
"Its networking has helped me combine the power of a neural network with the benefits of virtualization to improve the AI's performance."
"Oracle Solaris provides an ease of use."
"Oracle Solaris is great due to the fact that it actually is meant for high-end servers."
"We use the solution as an internal operating system."
"The solution has proven to be scalable. It can scale quite well."
"The solution has a very good graphical user interface."
"The product’s stability is valuable."
"Ubuntu Linux is more secure and has additional security features than some other operating systems."
"The solution is flexible and user-friendly."
"The solution is stable."
"Open source with a fast OS."
"Ubuntu Linux has the advantage of performance. It runs very quickly."
"More monitoring tools could be included in the product."
"I don't want to receive any updates on Oracle"
"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."
"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."
"Currently, there are two variants, there's SPARC and there's x86. I would have wanted a scenario where they're all just one product."
"This product is not as flexible as other similar solutions on the market today."
"The tool is quite complex and difficult for anyone trying to use or study it."
"Oracle Solaris can improve by supporting all the recent features that are in the market from other competitors."
"The installation of Ubuntu is somewhat complicated, requires better documentation."
"I think Ubuntu's performance is fine and so is its user interface. However, the latter is not as fancy as Microsoft Windows. It could be a bit fancier and easier to use."
"The vendor must provide an official support team."
"The solution could improve by having the user interface use fewer resources."
"We use and have previously used Windows 10 which is a lot better."
"The solution is a little complicated to customize and could be made easier."
"The biggest improvement, which is also applicable to Linux in general, with Ubuntu Linux is getting things standardized as to where you're going to put your configuration files and how they're going to work. Package names also need to be improved so that the package name doesn't have any match with configuration file systems and things like that. Ubuntu is still better than some of the others, such as Red Hat Linux or CentOS."
"I don't like the graphical interface in Ubuntu and it should be better."
