We performed a comparison between Oracle Solaris and SUSE Linux Enterprise 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."We like that the virtualization is built in, so you don't have to spend extra money on buying licenses for a hypervisor."
"This product is stable, has good documentation, lots of solutions, a big community, and good support."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Solaris is the incremental backup that happens in the system."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten since we haven't faced any issues."
"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."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"Solaris' best feature is its stability."
"The operating system is efficient in terms of security."
"The initial setup for most modern Linux distributions is normally straightforward. Most of the common distributions use an ncurses or GUI install."
"The stability of the solution is good. We have not had any issue with performance."
"It is very easy to maintain, migrate and upgrade."
"The solution offers a secure operation system."
"I have not experienced any issues with this operating system."
"The solution is easy to use, secure and allows for simple manipulation."
"SUSE Linux's most valuable feature is the documentation - there is a lot of documentation about how to create custom servers."
"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."
"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."
"Solaris' package management could be improved, especially in comparison to Linux."
"The tool is quite complex and difficult for anyone trying to use or study it."
"This product is not as flexible as other similar solutions on the market today."
"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."
"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."
"Red Hat Enterprise Linux is more secure and better documented. So Oracle could learn from them when it comes to security and documentation."
"The interface could improve."
"SUSE could make more APIs available."
"They should provide chatbot support for customers to open the troubleshooting cases directly."
"I would like to see better functionality for interacting with cloud-based systems."
"The only stability issues that I can recall encountering with SUSE would be with KDE. However, that is limited to just the desktop environment as I have not had stability issues with most server functions."
"The free version sometimes has security holes."
"The product must improve its UI."
"The price of SUSE Linux Enterprise could improve, it is too expensive."
