a business-centered take on classic linux

  • May 24, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
built in business ready tools sets this os apart from most others. ex: oracle has built in accounting software that makes buying programs to help with that unnecessary.
What do you dislike about the product?
its still based on linux, linux has always been incompatible with most windows programs. (cannot open executables)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
whatever you are using it for linux in general is generally lighter and faster than its competitors. adding a suite of business tools as oracle did is just icing on the cake.

Drop-in Replacement for RedHat

  • April 27, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is binary compatible with RedHat and existing RedHat installs can be converted to Oracle Linux with only updating 2-3 RPMs and can be done live without a reboot. In addition, Oracle Linux support comes free with our Oracle/Sun X86 hardware. We've saved a considerable amount of money on support by switching.
What do you dislike about the product?
Support requires using Oracle's Support Portal (MOS), which is not very intuitive and is showing it's age. Often times a Google search yields much better and faster results than engaging Oracle Support or using MOS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been using and paying for RedHat support for many years and rarely open a case with them. This resulted in wasted money. We also utilize Oracle X86 hardware which comes with Oracle Linux support included. We've been able to completely eliminate our RedHat support costs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are using or plan to use Oracle X86 hardware, Oracle Linux will eliminate your need for a separate software support contract. RPMS designed for RedHat will work on Oracle Linux as there is only a 2-3 rpm difference between them.

Oracle Linux best Linux for Oracle databases

  • April 07, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Oracle Enterprise Linux comes with additional optimizations to maximize Oracle performance and stability. Plus the distro already inlcudes all the best RPM's one would have to manually find and install on other Linux distro's. Plus Oracle Linux comes with complete ASM support already built in. Again less work to get things setup and working.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some generic utility RPM's (e.g. bleachbit) do not install properly all the time. Sometimes it takes a little work or waiting for the RPM to get updated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We run all our Oracle databases on Oracle Entreprise Linux. It has allowed us to standardize on a stable and highly performant platform that is easy to adminster for Oracle databases.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want Oracle to run optimally on your hardware then Oracle Enterprise Linux is your best choice. The cost is also very attractive. Plus Oracle Linux stays in sync with any and all Oracle requirements. For example ASM support is native and reliable/stable. Other distros put the onus of extra work on you to get things working.

Oracle Enterprise Linux for Oracle Products

  • April 01, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The first that I was thinking when I get of Oracle Enterprise Linux(OEL) is cheaper than others enterprise operating systems, second is that is Oracle products friendly, I used the first version of OEL and my good impression was/are:

1. Kernel with support ASM native, it's not necessary to determine versioning ASM kernel, the repositories automatically download required versions, without dealing with license acceptance.
2. Oracle DB Prerequisites is easy install with only download a packages: oracle-rdbms-server-VERSION-preinstall, it automatically downloading and installing any additional software packages, creating the user oracle and the groups oinstall, modifying kernel parameters in /etc/sysctl.conf, power off NUMA support on systems, etc, this could take hours on other operating systems.
3. Basically, OEL is tuning for optimal performance of the database MySQL and Oracle Database v11/v12.
4. And not more important, patches of Oracle Database products are released on OEL first.
What do you dislike about the product?
IMHO (and professional), OEL is optimized for Oracle Products: Oracle Weblogic, Oracle DB, Oracle MySQL, Oracle Primavera, etc, but if my business don't need other Oracle products, so, I should analyze and using other distributions.

Recommendations to others considering the product
If you used an Oracle Product on you IT Business company, have more sense used OEL as your operating System, at least for running the databases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fast deployment of multiple Databases on client IT Bussiness, misconfigurations can put your data at risk, spend time and effort, OEL is faster to automated database deployments with Oracle Real Application Clusters(RAC) and PUPPET, it has helped me save a lot of time and effort.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Most focus for development Open Source and management tools

A robust, comprehensive LInux distro for Oracle database users

  • March 21, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Oracle Linux is a streamlined Linux distro that is compability with many rpm and application packages and is one of the more widely supported distros out there. Its strong business and networking support can help admins to implement the distro with less trouble than other versions of Linux.
What do you dislike about the product?
Like other forms of Linux, it can be a learning curve from Windows admins and users alike. Difficulty can be found when adding drivers for non-standardized hardware or perpherials.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a basic enterprise level OS, the Linux distro has been a great use for basic networking needs without the higher costs of a Windows Server OS. Its similarity to Red Hat Linux is also an added plus. It offers a fairly standardized setup with wide compability with Linux applications as well as support from the community.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Would be buyers may want to look at Red Hat Enterprise Linux instead. It offers the same features and greater levels of compatibility with other applications.
