I do not have any numbers or examples regarding a return on investment to share because I do not conduct any tests to be able to decide this, but I know for a fact that I do not have to pay for subscription or licensing, and because it is Red Hat-based, most people know how to use it.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Oracle Linux has been very positive because when it comes to licensing and the likes, as I said, it is a downstream of Red Hat, so you do not have to pay much for licensing or subscription. The only thing you have to pay for is support.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I did not evaluate any other option before choosing Oracle Linux; I just went for it.
What other advice do I have?
I do not manage the system, but I manage the OS, so that is what I can provide.
The cost savings from using Oracle Linux come from the fact that since it is a downstream of Red Hat, you do not have to pay for subscription, while you enjoy most of the benefits of Red Hat, so we use it.
I would advise others looking into using Oracle Linux to try it, and if they are comfortable with it, then they can go ahead.
I gave this review an overall rating of seven out of ten.
Experienced delays with support but have consistently managed robust deployments across complex environments
What is our primary use case?
My use cases with Oracle Linux recently include the government of Goiás state in the Secretary of Economy, a GM concessionary of vehicles named Jorlan in Goiás, and Alnutri Alimentos, a rice and chili factory. Additionally, I have worked with the Ministry of Exterior of Brazil and many others.
What is most valuable?
In my opinion, the best features of Oracle Linux are its strong stability for running databases, particularly Oracle databases, and its use of DNF for package management. I believe DNF is a strong and modern way to manage Linux packages, more effective than yum and Zypper. Moreover, the memory usage and management in Oracle Linux are very robust, and the kernel is well-adapted for database users, making it one of the best options for running databases like MySQL and MariaDB as well.
What needs improvement?
I do not understand the licensing for Oracle Linux.
For how long have I used the solution?
My first use of Oracle Linux began in 2013, marking the start of my experience with this operating system.
How are customer service and support?
I find Oracle's support to be deficient in response time; it is often low, and the call options for small price forms are difficult. However, the knowledge base is very good and fair, and I believe the main feature of Oracle support, formerly known as Metalink, is an extremely useful resource.
I would rate the support as a six or seven, concluding that my score is about seven.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Currently, my company is not an Oracle customer, although it was a partner before 2010 and was involved in third-party colocation in Brazilian sales markets in 2006. After 2010, my company and I have utilized other databases too. While we still use Oracle for consulting on Oracle Linux and its databases, the market primarily uses other databases, shifting our Linux support from SUSE to Oracle Linux.
What other advice do I have?
Regarding Matillion data in ETL, I do not have experience with materialized views.
I have experience with other products besides Snowflake , including AWS RDS in the on-premise world, an OCI Oracle database, SQL Server in an on-premises environment, SQL in Azure , Big Data from GCP, and a bit of experience with Databricks and Oracle HeatWave too.
I have experience with Oracle database versions from six to 24 AI.
Oracle Linux is the Oracle operating system, specifically Oracle Enterprise Linux .
I have experience with Oracle Linux from the sixth version to the eighth version, with a small experience using the ninth version as well.
My use of Oracle Linux does not include Ksplice for zero downtime updates; I am unclear on that feature.
Regarding SE Linux security, many customers disable this feature; however, in some use cases within the Secretary of Economy and the Ministry of Exterior Commerce of Brazil, this feature is enabled. Although I don't have extensive experience with this feature, I find that SE Linux offers impressive security strength within the Linux environment, and it also restricts inappropriate access for databases.
Oracle Linux has good integration and usability with Red Hat Linux because it is based on Red Hat. Moreover, it is normally compatible with SUSE and other Linux distributions and supports standard communication protocols like SSH. Additionally, it maintains compatibility with Windows servers.
In my opinion, I don't currently see potential improvements for Oracle Linux because I believe its features are sufficient for database environments and more, particularly in the Red stack. Overall, I believe Oracle Linux is good as it is.
In my opinion, the price for Oracle Linux is fair and acceptable for companies in the market that utilize it.
My overall score for Oracle Linux as a product is ten.

My main use case for Oracle Linux is for administration, specifically full administration for Unix servers, such as hosting applications, monitoring the server health, and all the administration tasks I have been using it for.
I am hosting applications on those servers and monitoring the servers that are operating on Oracle Linux with full monitoring.
What is most valuable?
The best features Oracle Linux offers include security, as I have found it to be more secure than Ubuntu , Red Hat, and other Linux distributions. Additionally, it is easier to use than the other Linux operating systems.
What makes Oracle Linux more secure and easier to use than other Linux operating systems I have tried is the configuration of the firewall, SSH, and a few other configurations. These are easy to follow and set up.
I remember that the repositories for Oracle Linux are more stable than those of others. For instance, with Ubuntu , I have faced some issues related to the repository for the NFC files. The repositories of Oracle Linux are working smoothly more than others.
Oracle Linux has positively impacted my organization as most servers we are using are Oracle Linux. We prefer using it. The reason my organization prefers Oracle Linux is for its performance and reliability. In general, the operating system is cleaner and easy to use and follow.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before Oracle Linux, we were using Red Hat, but it was an old version.
What was our ROI?
I have not seen a return on investment with Oracle Linux.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Our experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing involved using VMware Cloud, and I have no idea about the cost.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I did not evaluate other options before choosing Oracle Linux. This is the first time I am evaluating an operating system.
What other advice do I have?
I recommend using Oracle Linux as your first choice for Linux distributions. I have rated this review a 10.
Has reduced operational time and supports critical daily functions with strong query performance
What is our primary use case?
Common examples include organizational operations such as running mission-critical Oracle databases for business functions including enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRMÂ ), and data analytics. These are the main use cases I can identify. Ksplice as well as database host operations use Oracle Linux exclusively because our test servers and test charging system servers are already established in Oracle Linux.
All of our test lab servers are deployed in Oracle Linux, and customer queries, customer data, and customer report collection are all dependent on Oracle Linux nowadays. Oracle Linux RHELÂ compatibility is excellent for our use. The revenue impact has been significant, as our work has become considerably easier and time consumption has decreased substantially by using Oracle Linux. This directly correlates to revenue improvement as well.
What is most valuable?
Oracle Linux RHEL compatibility is exceptional because it is binary and source compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux , which ensures broad compatibility with existing applications. Deep integration is also an important key factor in using Oracle Linux.
DTrace is a dynamic tracing framework that allows me to perform real-time analysis of the running system in my daily work to identify performance bottlenecks. This is an important example of Oracle Linux that I use both within my organization and outside of it.
What needs improvement?
When comparing industry trends, I want to add that there are different workloads such as Oracle Database for implementing pre-installation packages, which can ensure all dependencies are met for a smoother installation process. These aspects could be improved, as well as streamlining of DevOps.
