Stable, Standard, Performant
What do you like best about the product?
Application stability and Performant OS. Always gives reliable performance even under stress. The systems are pretty standard and help with a lot of the devops style deployments to go absolutely smooth. Love the Linux community.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Oracle Repositories sometimes lack some of the nicer tools that many other Xnix systems like CentOS and Ubuntu support out-of-the-box. I did love to see them pre-packaged or atleast remain available through additional repo files.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Several benefits - Deployment of many of our systems, playing around with new technologies are tried on OL6/OL7. Benefits are innumerably many - to brief our development, stage and prod. systems are on Oracle Linux.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very stable and standard Linux system. If you are looking for personal desktops choose a different flavour of Linux, but if you are looking for enterprise grade deployments this is a good choice.

Oracle Linux

Easy to use, upgrade and secured. Patch upgrades are simple. Normal linux commands works.

No GUI interaction so developer needs terminal use habit (though it's common for unix systems).

For application servers deployments.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try out it. Best for app servers.
Linux for SW development
What do you like best about the product?
Orcale Linux is as good as red hat linux.

Some of the packages are not as up to date.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use oracle linux day to day for SW development.
Must Have OS Choice
What do you like best about the product?
I work across many different types of organizations. In some cases, Oracle Linux is being used for all database servers across the entire organization. In some cases, it is being selectively rolled out to replace legacy Unix systems. Plus in a few isolated cases, I've helped to replace Windows database servers with Oracle Linux. The common theme across all these different types of organizations is that they want the best Linux for running Oracle, which is pre-tuned and optimized as well as well supported by the database vendor. Oracle Linux wins hands down on these points.
What do you dislike about the product?
The operating system could be improved in its compatibility with older applications.
There are fewer users of Oracle Linux than other versions, potentially making it harder to obtain outside support.
Sometimes customer support from Oracle can be challenging.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
If you are going to deploy Oracle on an Intel or AMD based server then Oracle Linux is by far your best choice. The operating system is built and packaged from the ground up to be the single best and easiest OS for running an Oracle database. But while it may be a custom solution, it's probably 98% or more the same as Redhat and CentOS from an OS admin point of view - so easy to hire resources as any Linux admin can work with Oracle Linux with almost zero changes to their existing practices.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The software does really well in systems that work with databases. It does really well in its connectivity to Oracle database applications. It also provides a great deal of stability and can provide fairly stable functionality for remote systems that have users requiring limited assistance. Installing Oracle Linux is fairly easy and less time consuming than other Linux versions.
Oracle linix from a DBA perspective
What do you like best about the product?
I have been working as an oracle dba since 2011, i have worked with several OS like IBM Aix , hpux, redhat but I tottally preffer Oracle Linux because all the prerrequisites are already installed.
What do you dislike about the product?
It does not have anything new, it is Bassically linux red hat
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Oracle dbms hosting, its faster to deploy an on premise oracle db in oracle linux than any other OS.
Stability and security of Oracle Linux
What do you like best about the product?
I like how flexible it is to create commands and use them in configuring and using Oracle Database 10. I tried using Oracle 10g on Windows, but it's not as flexible as Oracle Solaris.
What do you dislike about the product?
The aspect of learning so many commands can be tiring; its hard to work around some concepts if you are not familiar with the necessary commands.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I wanted to scale the nodes of my company's network. Since Oracle Linux is optimized for performance, it is easy to scale very easily. The exception is only when I use RAC. I have to tune based on the nodes I am working with.
It's Oracle's RedHat
What do you like best about the product?
Being an Oracle database Solution Architect since 10 years, i have a preference to use Oracle products if they are really good. Oracle Linux is very well suited for Oracle products like Oracle EBS Suite and Oracle Database. Although, you can run these products on other supported OS like RedHat but certain features like smart scan for Exadata is only supported on Oracle Linux.
What do you dislike about the product?
The slow GUI. If you happen to use GUI interface of Oracle Linux, it's slow sometimes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Oracle Linux for our database servers and ERP server hosting Oracle E-Business Suite. The support is pretty cheap and is fairly simple for anyone with RedHat background.
