Fast, easy to set up in-house, and reliable
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
We like that we can use the C++ coding while working with it.
The speed is quite good.
It's mostly very stable.
The operating system is fine.
It's pretty simple to setup, and we can do it in-house as it is not complex.
The solution is open-source.
What needs improvement?
The network interface should be modernized. It's a bit out of date.
It could be more scalable.
For how long have I used the solution?
We've used the solution for one project. We've used it for a few months. I haven't used it for that long just yet.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is stable and mostly reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze on us.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability could be better.
We have two or three people using the solution right now and do not have plans to increase usage.
How are customer service and support?
We did not use technical support. We've never had a need to reach out. I cannot speak to how helpful or responsive they would be.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I've also used CentOS. The setup and scalability are the same as Oracle.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward. I haven't noticed any complexities. The deployment takes several days. It doesn't take too long.
We have a team that handles deployment and maintenance. There are about five people and they are engineers.
What about the implementation team?
We handled the setup ourselves. We did not need outside help. Our support team could easily deploy it.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The licensing is open-source. We do not have to pay for licensing.
What other advice do I have?
We are using version nine. I cannot recall the exact version number.
I'd recommend the solution to others.
I would rate the solution nine out of ten.
A stable product that offers good experience
What is our primary use case?
We use the solution for our internet banking product.
What is most valuable?
I like the product's stable distribution. The tool offered us very good experience since it was very stable.
What needs improvement?
I would want Oracle to explore more of Kubernetes and micro services.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is stable and it is one of the reasons for us to choose the product.
How was the initial setup?
The product's setup is okay. My company has an experienced team for the product's deployment. The deployment took two days to complete.
What about the implementation team?
We did the tool's deployment in-house.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate the product a nine out of ten. The solution is one of the best Linux OS for servers.
Secure, robust, and user-friendly
What is our primary use case?
Oracle DB is used in one of the use cases that you have worked on, specifically for the database aspect. It is likely that all of the solutions that have been deployed and are currently running use the Oracle database.
What is most valuable?
Oracle is well-known for its strong security measures. I have a great deal of confidence in the security of the Oracle DB, including its ability to monitor changes made to the database.
The interface is good.
What needs improvement?
Pricing could be improved.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Oracle Linux for four years.
We are not working with the latest version.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would rate the stability a nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Oracle is highly scalable.
In our company, we don't use it ourselves, but some of our clients have deployed it for their own use.
They have fifty users
The number of users increases as our clients open more branches in their network. As the number of branches grows, so does the number of clients and users utilizing the system.
How are customer service and support?
What makes technical support easier for us is that the Oracle DB is used for the CVS that is used. Therefore, the same person who provides support for Oracle is also able to provide support for CVS, which simplifies the process for us.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
At present, we are not as closely associated with Process Maker as we are with Microsoft and IBM. This is because many of our clients also use SharePoint and Office 365.
I am currently in the process of learning more about SharePoint myself. While I have some experience with the design aspect, I am trying to improve my skills and knowledge in this area through training and practice.
In the past, we used Microsoft technology, but we made the switch to Oracle due to its superior security and robustness.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup process can be challenging and not particularly straightforward, but with effort and careful reading, it can be successfully achieved.
What about the implementation team?
The deployment was a team effort since it was a project being deployed for a client.
During the deployment, we had a project manager on-site who provided guidance on the steps involved in the process, particularly with regard to migrating from an Oracle environment.
The most significant challenge we encountered during the deployment was data migration from the old platform, which was an SQL version. Data cleanup was also a time-consuming issue that we faced. However, once the data had been cleaned and set up properly, the rest of the process became much easier.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We pay an annual subscription.
When it comes to budgeting, it is easier to plan for a new subscription because you can allocate a specific budget for it.
What other advice do I have?
I would highly recommend this solution.
I would rate Oracle Linux a nine out of ten.

We sought the help of other people to deploy the solution.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The product's pricing is cheap. The tool's pricing is yearly.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate the solution a ten out of ten.
Compatible with RedHat operating systems, stable and easy to set up
What is our primary use case?
We use Oracle Linux for Virtualization Platform, DNS Servers, Database Servers and IT infrastructure observability tools
How has it helped my organization?
Orlacle Linux has provided a redhat compatible open source OS for diverse needs. We smoothly run on Oracle OS; KVM virtualization environment, Postgesql databases, Zabbix, Grafana, Fluentd and other observability tools. We have seen a remarkable improvement as DNS queries are fast and the platforms can be easily secured with no worries of security issues arising due to unpatched systems.
What is most valuable?
There is full compatibility with RedHat-based operating systems, in particular Centos, which we widely deployed before Oracle Linux (OL).
What needs improvement?
For usability, the GUI options during the initial setup could be included with advanced OS tuning and optimization, currently as with most Linux systems that can be done via CLI.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Oracle Linux for more than three years
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Very stable
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Very scalable, especially with available support options
How are customer service and support?
Haven't used the customer service and support

Implemented in-house
What was our ROI?
100%
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It's an open source OS freerly available. Support subscription is paid
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Yes, Rocky Linux, Alma Linux and OpenSuse
What other advice do I have?
A pretty stable and secure operating system that perfectly serve as an alternative to Centos OS.
