Oracle Linux Reviews

We use the solution for our internet banking product. 

I like the product's stable distribution. The tool offered us very good experience since it was very stable. 

I would want Oracle to explore more of Kubernetes and micro services. 

The solution is stable and it is one of the reasons for us to choose the product. 

The product's setup is okay. My company has an experienced team for the product's deployment. The deployment took two days to complete. 

We did the tool's deployment in-house. 

I would rate the product a nine out of ten. The solution is one of the best Linux OS for servers. 

We use the solution to manage the databases.

The solution's most valuable feature is its capability to provide a safe and secure environment.

They should make the solution user-friendly. Also, they should add documentation and video lessons to guide us about its new features. We have a team of specialists who can train us on it, but we need help finding enough information.

It is a stable solution.

The solution's technical support team answers all our queries.

The solution's initial setup is complicated.

It is an expensive solution for us. 

It is challenging to work with Oracle Linux, but it is a stable and secure solution. I recommend it to others and rate it as an eight.

We use this solution as an operating system to run Oracle databases through.

We have found that this solution significantly improves our ability to run test scenarios, and parallel queries, across massive databases.

We find the consolidated support for this solution and other same vendor systems to be an extremely valuable feature.  This allows for faster resolution of issues and consistency of support personnel.

We would like to see the cloud setup to be evolved, to allow for setting up of clusters of the operating system for this solution. 

We have been working with this solution for the last year and a half.

We have rarely encountered any issues with the stability of this solution, and when they do occur they are generally issues with storage and not the operating system.

We have found this to be an easily scalable solution.

The technical support for this solution is good, and they are usually able to resolve any issues we escalate to them.  However, it takes time for the engineers to contact us, and can take up to three days for an issue to be resolved completely.

As we only escalate high priority issues to them, that we cannot deal with in-house, the time delay can be a problem.

Neutral

We switched to this solution for the portability of operating system that it offered us.

The initial setup for this solution is fairly easy, and has the advantage of all the prerequisites being installed due to the operating system being in place. 

The total deployment took less than five hours to complete, and the majority of this time was taken up with restoring the data from one of our UAT environments.

The implementation, and deployment, of this solution was carried out in-house.

We have found the ROI for this solution to be from the consolidated support, and the time this saves.

The licensing for this solution is based on the number of calls running Oracle databases, and are purchased either annually, or every three years.

We would recommend this solution for new Oracle database deployment, particularly if the staff working with the solution are not very experienced or highly technical.

We would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We use this solution to create some scripts, and push, start, and stop our product.

It is a good solution, and the performance is good.

It has a very good operating system, and if anyone wants a secure one, Oracle Linux is a good choice.

Features related to use, feel, and user experience could be improved. It could also have a more user-friendly interface.

We have been using this solution for the past 15 years and are using the latest version.

The stability is very good.

It is a scalable solution.

The technical support is good, and we use the support sometimes. I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.

Positive

The initial setup was straightforward. We did not need an integrator for deployment and completed it ourselves. I rate the setup an eight out of ten.

I rate this solution a nine out of ten, and I would recommend this solution to others.

We use it on-premises because there is more data and then we download and upload it to the cloud. Customers are a little upset whenever they have to upload all the data to the cloud and they are also very specific. Whoever is working with us has the data on their systems.

We are not impacted by new releases, because whenever there is a new release, we are informed by our IT team and we prepare accordingly. However, if the number of releases is too frequent you begin to doubt the stability of the system even if it is stable. So if a new release is required, it will be better to consolidate all the features in one release instead of sporadic releases.

We have been using this solution for ten years. It is deployed on-premises which is more secure. 

It is a stable solution with a secure operating system.

Oracle Linux is scalable because it allows for a hybrid cloud environment. We have more than 100,000 users in our company.

Our IT team handles interactions with technical support, so we route everything through them. It has been smooth, and we have gotten some good responses, even over email.

I rate this solution a ten out of ten because I am happy with the platforms.

I am using Oracle Linux for databases.

Oracle Linux's most valuable feature is flexibility.

Oracle Linux could improve by having better compatibility with other solutions. Some aspects of the configuration are difficult. I was using Oracle Linux on a Mac computer and it was very difficult to set up.

I have been using Oracle Linux for approximately five years.

I have found Oracle Linux to be stable. I'm not receiving any issues when I use it, when I connect it to the other parts with the setup, it has been stable.

Oracle Linux has good scalability.

The technical support is good. Whenever I'm having an issue that cannot be resolved, I get in contact with Oracle and then they resolve it fast.

The price of Oracle Linux could be less expensive for those who are running a small freelance company, such as I do. We use the solution fully but the income that you're receiving is slow.

I would advise others that are interested in implementing this solution to try it out. However, they need to know what they are doing first because if you don't know the solution well, you will not be able to implement it properly, and that will not yield correct results.

I rate Oracle Linux an eight out of ten.

We use it for billing and for Oracle applications.

There are several valuable features in Oracle Linux. For example, it's very secure and stable. You don't have to reboot it frequently. You also don't have memory issues, especially when it is engineered with platforms like Exadata and Oracle Cluster. These give you the most throughput and performance.

Oracle Linux performs best on Linux or Unix. However, you cannot get the same performance or stability in Windows.

I've been using Oracle for, maybe, 20 years.

It's very stable and gives you the best performance when it is on Linux and Unix.

It is very scalable, especially on platforms like Oracle Cluster and Exadata.

Technical support has been good.

We switched to Oracle Linux because of its security and stability.

Installation requires a lot of skills and is not easy. An expert is required to handle it.

Depending on the size of the company and the size of the business, no less than two or three people are required for deployment and maintenance. If it's a huge implementation, it would require more staff.

I think that we have a yearly license.

You need skilled people to handle Oracle Linux. It's not easy to find those who are skilled in Linux.

I definitely recommend this solution and would rate it at eight on a scale from one to ten.

I primarily use the solution for running personal and business applications. 

The performance is good and the solution has been stable. 

The interface is user-friendly.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. 

The solution could be less costly.

I've been using the solution for quite some time. It's been a few years at this point. 

The solution has been stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. The performance is good and it's a reliable product.

We have roughly less than 50 people using the solution in our organization.

I've used technical support in the past. There's not much to say. The support has been fine. 

We did not use a different solution. We've been using the product for many years at this point. 

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's not overly complex or difficult. 

I was able to handle the implementation process on my own. I did not need outside assistance. 

We would prefer it if the licensing costs were lowered. 

We pay a yearly licensing fee.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. The product has been very reliable for me over the years. It has good capabilities. 

Would recommend the solution to other users and organizations.
