My main use case for Oracle Linux is server administration, and I typically use it for web administration, application, and database administration in my work.

A specific example of how I use Oracle Linux with my databases is to implement our core banking system, where I use MySQL and manage the database.

Regarding how I use Oracle Linux, we are currently facing challenges with WebLogic, and we are using Apache and WebLog from Oracle that add to our tasks.

Oracle Linux helps with security and management in my bench system because we have many features that we can use to implement security, such as the firewall, which we configure, and it also helps when someone has to access our resource or database, especially concerning cybersecurity.

The best features Oracle Linux offers for my organization stand out significantly in terms of security, particularly the firewall. The firewall in Oracle Linux helps my organization because it is reliable, offers ease of configuration, and is dependable to use.

Oracle Linux provides fast updates, and the best aspect is that we can update our server without interrupting our service, which is very important for business continuity. When we moved to Oracle Linux, we noticed more performance in our applications, making our business operations smoother.

Oracle Linux has impacted my organization positively by helping us reduce downtime, improving our performance, making our applications quicker, and increasing our security; we can fix problems easily with Oracle Linux.

I believe Oracle Linux could be improved, but I am very happy with it as it is.

I have been using Oracle Linux for around eight years.

Oracle Linux is stable for my organization.

Oracle Linux's scalability is excellent for our needs because our organization uses it for everything to achieve our goals.

I have not had any recent experiences with the Oracle Linux support team; we are not currently using customer support, although I had an experience five years ago.

Before Oracle Linux, we used a different solution, and we switched because Oracle Linux improved our performance and helped us reduce downtime significantly.

To measure these improvements, I track cost savings and user satisfaction, both of which are essential metrics for us.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Oracle Linux has been that it is expensive.

My advice to others looking into using Oracle Linux is that if they are seeking performance, security, and reliability, Oracle Linux is the best option for any business.

I rate Oracle Linux 9 out of 10.

I have experience with Linux solutions.

The best features of Oracle Linux are repositories, support, and compatibility on Oracle database.

Oracle Linux's compatibility helps in integrating Oracle hardware and software effectively.

The updates are applied instantly once a CVE is identified, which makes it highly beneficial.

There is not any area that could be improved with Oracle Linux because it is very similar to Red Hat, and in our type of system, it cannot be achieved with other systems.

On a scale of one to ten, I would rate the technical support with Oracle as a 9.

I rate it a 9 because for some cases, the response time is not very high. They are a little slow to respond when we have problems; however, everything else was very good.

We evaluated SUSE Linux and Red Hat as other products.

The differences between Oracle Linux and SUSE Linux include the type of subscription, the value, and the compatibility, where Oracle Linux performs better.

The initial setup with Oracle Linux was very simple because it kept using the same installing type since the start, making it very simple to adapt everything.

In terms of pricing, Oracle Linux is the best benefit for the price compared to other licensing systems.

As for my experience with the pricing and licensing, I can say that as it's from the government, we conducted research about all the prices, and Oracle Linux was the best one available for what it can achieve.

We use OCI as our main cloud provider instead of AWS.

We are clients of the government with Oracle, linked from the government.

I would rate Oracle Linux a 9 out of 10.

Our clients are using Oracle Linux for core banking deployment and enterprise application deployment.

The solution works closely with the operating system kernel, which gives better performance in terms of multi-threading and a distributed database. We work based on Oracle specifications, and whenever there are critical patches and vulnerability tests, we update with the latest security patches. The collaboration with Oracle WebLogic and other Oracle tools enhances performance as well.

At this stage, we are uncertain about specific areas for improvement. There is support in place by Oracle, which is appreciated. AI could potentially optimize computing resources in the infrastructure side, especially in a multi-tier enterprise architecture.

We have been using Oracle Linux for more than five years.

The deployment of Oracle Linux is easy.

Oracle Linux is definitely stable. We are using it in a production environment.

We have not seen any scalability issues as we are running a considerable volume.

Previously, we were using other operating systems like Red Hat and SUSE Linux. We switched because we are using tightly coupled Oracle products, and Oracle Linux gives better performance.

It is easy to deploy.

The solution provides the best return on investment. It saves more than forty percent of resources.

Oracle Linux is affordable because it is open-source. However, if critical support is needed, payment is required.

We previously evaluated Red Hat and SUSE Linux.

Our overall experience with Oracle Linux is very positive. I would rate it a nine out of ten. While support can sometimes be delayed due to ticket complexities, Oracle Linux could benefit from new computing resource optimizations, possibly involving AI.

We are using Oracle ERP and Oracle Database, and we have installed Oracle tools and applications on Oracle Linux in a virtual environment.

Oracle Linux is secure, and we have end-to-end support from Oracle, from the operating system to applications and ERP. It provides peace of mind. Additionally, we prefer Oracle Linux over Windows to safeguard against different attacks and viruses. It's all happily integrated, providing a reliable and consistent environment for my team, which I value greatly.

Expertise in Oracle Linux is not extensive, so it was challenging to find someone with experience in this technology. Initiating educational programs or certifications locally available would enhance its adoption. The learning curve is significant, and certain processor models take time for compatibility testing. We often have to use older processors until compatibility is confirmed.

I have been using Oracle Linux for probably the last four to five years.

It was straightforward to install. We ensure compatibility with new hardware initially and then work in a virtual environment with a master VM we can copy and configure.

Oracle Linux is very stable. Our environment is locally deployed, and we don't experience performance or latency issues.

Oracle Linux is somewhat scalable; I would rate it seven out of ten. New processor models sometimes lack immediate compatibility with Oracle Linux, requiring the use of previous models until support is available.

Oracle's technical support is excellent, and I would rate it as nine out of ten.

For us, the installation of Oracle Linux is straightforward. When new hardware is introduced, we ensure its compatibility before deploying in a virtual environment.

The return on investment from using Oracle Linux is the peace of mind it provides my team. Everything from Oracle tools to applications is well integrated within Oracle Linux.

Oracle Linux is affordable. While ERP may be expensive, Oracle Linux and KVMs are not on the higher side in terms of cost.

Overall, I rate Oracle Linux as eight out of ten. I would also advise considering improving educational programs and certifications to facilitate learning and greater expertise.

We are currently using Oracle Linux in our organization for handling various systems. My experience with Oracle Linux is mainly in managing it for server performance and handling different operating systems like Linux, Windows, and UNIX.

I find Oracle Linux's troubleshooting capabilities to be straightforward and simple to use. The commands are very user-friendly, making it easier for me to manage and troubleshoot. Additionally, Oracle Linux has American Standard levels of security, which I consider to be quite good. I find the stability to be excellent as the system manages outages effectively.

I have been working with Oracle Linux for about one year.

I have not experienced any stability issues with Oracle Linux. It is very stable compared to other systems.

I find Oracle Linux to be quite scalable. It handles device performance well, automatically managing any issues that arise.

The setup was already done for us by third parties. We did not do the initial setup ourselves.

They already set it up for us, and we used an already done setup.

I would recommend Oracle Linux, but before recommending it, I need to be prepared to answer all related questions. I would rate my personal knowledge of Oracle Linux five out of ten. However, I would rate the solution itself nine out of ten overall, as it has shown to be very efficient and user-friendly.

Currently, I see that everyone is looking into Linux. People are migrating to Linux from different proprietary hardware systems, which are often more expensive than x86 systems. This is the reason for moving to Linux.

When it comes to Linux, if I have Exadata and all Oracle Linux operating systems, these are what I deal with. Nutanix, with hardware offering software-defined storage, also helps me. For clients with unlimited licenses, the advantage of HXIT6 hardware is that the license is not a constraint, prompting them to switch.

Oracle consistently performs better, like with Oracle Solaris. Linux systems are similar, however, Oracle Linux offers an unbreakable system. Oracle has just started this from version eight, which is distinct.

Addressing room for improvement in Oracle Linux, some applications supported by other operating systems are not supported, which is a pain.

I've been working with Oracle Linux and Linux Red Hat since version five.

DP is present in all infrastructure sectors because it's open-source. Testing determines stability, as continuous Linux use and installations reveal more bugs. Unlike stable products like Solaris, open-source products are not fully tested, which is common.

It is easy to scale.

I find that Oracle is always good in customer service, but it depends on the backend. The initial support request handling is crucial. Not all support engineers at Oracle are the same, so sometimes I experience good support that resolves issues quickly, while other times, it loops. This is common. That said, overall, Oracle support is good.

When comparing Red Hat and Oracle Linux, people often focus on popularity, and both are almost the same. Mainly, I notice that the popularity varies. The difference lies in their marketing and presentation.

One person is enough to deploy everything from infrastructure to the operating system.

Ultimately, Oracle Linux as a product rates nine out of ten. It's very easy to use. For Linux, it's nothing too complicated. Taking care of the necessary tech accounts, subscriptions align similarly. The focus is on what is used on top of Linux with the move towards database 23, which incorporates AI, testing and migration are ongoing.

When comparing operating systems like Solaris, support for new versions is diminishing, forcing migrations to Linux, such as Oracle Linux or Red Hat, both being popular. Depending on preferences, some support Oracle Linux, while others favor Red Hat, which is more popular initially.

Our primary use case for Oracle Linux is that we are using it on Oracle Cloud. Our ERP is on Oracle Cloud as well. We downloaded a PDF to compare Oracle Linux with Ubuntu Linux for a vendor request on a project.

Our objective was to move from on-prem infrastructure to cloud infrastructure. By selecting Oracle Linux instead of Windows or Red Hat, we reduced costs significantly since Oracle Linux is free.

Additionally, having Oracle application and operating system from the same vendor makes things easier and provides a single point of contact for resolution.

First of all, the cost is a significant advantage of Oracle Linux. The platform is stable, and there is no risk of viruses, unlike the Microsoft platform. We moved from Windows platform to Oracle Linux because it is free, leading to a reduction in costs.

Also, since it's from the same vendor as Oracle applications, it's easier to manage issues, making not just the solution cost-effective but also streamlined in management.

The user interface for Oracle Linux could use improvement. Coming from a Windows environment, switching back to command-line interface is time-consuming. Having a user interface would make tasks easier, saving time by avoiding the need to remember command-line instructions.

We have been using Oracle Linux for more than a year now, and it has been stable without issues in our production database and application.

Oracle Linux is stable. I would rate its stability as eight or nine out of ten.

The technical support for Oracle Linux is just okay. It is not as helpful or friendly as their application support. The response is not as useful, and it could be improved.

We were previously on Windows platform, and we moved to Oracle Linux since it is free and reduces costs.

I am unable to answer how the initial setup was as it was done by our implementation partner. They handled all the initial setup before handing it over to us.

Our implementation partner created all the virtual machines and handled the initial setup and migration project.

Oracle Linux contributed to reducing our operational costs by about ten percent by saving us from the operating system and license costs we would have had to pay Microsoft.

The cost of Microsoft OS is pretty high, and switching to Oracle Linux, which is free, reduced our costs by about 20% to 25%. For about ten servers, this was a significant saving.

The core engine of Oracle Linux is based on Red Hat, making it a stable solution quickly. It is relatively better for enterprise customers rather than individual users.

Oracle Linux is stable and cost-effective. I would rate the overall solution as eight out of ten.

With improvements in support and user interface, Oracle Linux should continue to improve. I would recommend it depending on cost factors and enterprise suitability.

I was using it in a production support scenario with an Oracle database installed on Oracle Linux.

It is very compatible because it's from the same product family, so it makes the work very easy.

Managing upgrades, especially moving from one version of Oracle Linux to another, can be challenging.
