SUSE Linux Enterprise Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Senior Lead DevOps Engineer at Kyndryl5.0I've used SUSE Linux Enterprise for over six years, appreciating its stability, scalability, and strong support, though it has a learning curve and could benefit from modernized tools and improved access to newer packages.
Lead Desktop Support Technician at a healthcare company with 10,001+ employees4.5I personally used SUSE Linux for regular use and exploring different Linux distros. Its clean interface was valuable, though software management was challenging compared to Ubuntu. I encountered hardware compatibility issues, but it worked well for personal desktop use.
Senior cloud engineer at a tech services company with 201-500 employees4.0I've used SUSE Linux Enterprise on Azure for SAP HANA systems and found it stable, robust, and easy to manage, though better documentation would help; its performance and reliability justify the higher licensing costs.
Research Engineer at a educational organization with 10,001+ employees3.5We use SUSE Enterprise Edition primarily for its reliable automatic kernel lifecycle subscription, crucial for maintaining service uptime. However, configuring can be challenging, needing improved flexibility for developers. We're exploring alternatives like Ubuntu and Rocky Linux for cost-effective machine learning infrastructure.
IT Manager at a wellness & fitness company with 5,001-10,000 employees5.0I use this stable and reliable OS for our SAP landscape, but the licensing model needs improvement, as upgrades within the same instance family result in overlapping fees and double subscriptions, which has caused ongoing issues.
Linux System Administrator at Adapt IT5.0I've been using SUSE Linux Enterprise since 2003 for a petroleum company. It's admin-friendly, handles kernel modules well, and offers strong community support. However, service setup can be inconsistent across hardware, and error handling needs more transparency and specificity.
Technical Architect at Peristent Systems4.0I use SUSE Linux Enterprise for deploying and automating solutions for my customers. Its valuable features include Ansible for configuration deployment and strong security. However, the UI needs improvement to increase adoption, particularly among non-technical users and educational institutes.
Senior Manager at Cognizant4.0As a system administrator supporting multiple clients, I found SUSE Linux Enterprise's patching and BTRFS file system valuable. Although it requires better documentation, it offers a 70% higher ROI than RHEL, which is also more expensive.
