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.

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.

I have no suggestions for improvements regarding Oracle Linux. Everything is going well.

I have been using Oracle Linux for three years.

Oracle Linux is stable.

The scalability of Oracle Linux is working fine, and there are no issues we have faced regarding scalability.

I have not interacted with Oracle's support team. All the cases we were solving were done by ourselves in the team.

Before Oracle Linux, we were using Red Hat, but it was an old version.

I have not seen a return on investment with Oracle Linux.

Our experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing involved using VMware Cloud, and I have no idea about the cost.

I did not evaluate other options before choosing Oracle Linux. This is the first time I am evaluating an operating system.

I recommend using Oracle Linux as your first choice for Linux distributions. I have rated this review a 10.

Oracle Linux is essential for my day-to-day operations, including reports collection, developing new queries to solve customer issues, charging support, and normal CSR cases, as well as any escalation. Oracle Linux is everything in my domain.

Common examples include organizational operations such as running mission-critical Oracle databases for business functions including enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), 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 RHEL 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.

The best features of Oracle Linux include the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel for performance, zero-downtime patching, RHEL compatibility with the latest RHEL versions, and paid support, which is optional. Oracle Linux support is excellent. Oracle Clusterware and DTrace tracing are also positive aspects of using Oracle Linux. It is free to use and distribute.

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.

Automatic patching and updates with features like Ksplice for zero-downtime patching and OS management for centralized management could be improved. Other partial improvements include enhancing security by using FIPS and Common Criteria certified distribution, as well as optimizing performance with KVM virtualization. However, I believe that Oracle Linux is currently functioning fine with my use.

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.

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

Oracle Linux is stable. When connectivity issues occur, the support team is always available to provide support 24/7, which is a positive aspect.

In terms of scalability, Oracle Linux performs well. I have already mentioned improvements such as downtime patching and OS management for centralized management. Beyond that, scalability is functioning well.

Oracle Linux customer support is very active. They provide 24/7 support for both emergency and normal issues. They typically hold tickets for one or two days and provide effective solutions, which is a positive aspect.

I started from scratch using only Oracle Linux because I learned from others that it is very easy to use and is a very practical solution in the current industry.

I did not conduct an evaluation.

We purchased Oracle Linux from AWS. As I have already mentioned, time consumption decreased significantly and productivity is now strong, with revenue savings achieved.

From a customer satisfaction perspective, this is indeed important. Time consumption has decreased substantially. When compared to other relational databases, there is a 20 to 30 percent gap. By using Oracle Linux, I am obtaining a 20 to 30 percent advantage.

We use both Google and AWS. The pricing is quite reasonable with no concerns.

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 RHEL 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.

Oracle Linux is the best option in the current industry. I would recommend that anyone not currently using it conduct testing for at least six months to one year, and they will experience the difference and will never leave Oracle Linux after that. The overall review rating for Oracle Linux is 8.5 out of 10.

I am using Oracle Linux on a daily basis.

My main use case for Oracle Linux is that we have lots of applications.

A specific example of how I'm using Oracle Linux is for the server and application server for company applications.

My company uses Oracle Linux for application and monitoring purposes.

The best features Oracle Linux offers are that it's simple and easy to understand.

The usefulness of these features comes from the fact that it is an open tool, allowing for free access to all applications on the web, enabling easy testing and checking of any new application features for testing purposes. This is the main feature in Oracle Linux.

Oracle Linux features, such as being very easy to understand, allow for easy access to all repositories and packages available online, making it very helpful with no need to purchase any other packages or related subscriptions since it's totally free and easy to adopt.

Oracle Linux has positively impacted my organization through cost saving.

In my main use case for Oracle Linux, it's based on Red Hat, and it's secure, reliable, and open source.

In my experience, the best features Oracle Linux offers include its unbreakable kernel system and security, along with reliability and stability.

The unbreakable kernel and the security features stand out for me because, in big data, anyone from outside cannot break my kernel, and we have a lot of inbuilt security, which has helped me with different things.

Oracle Linux provides many more features that I need to consider further.

Oracle Linux has positively impacted my organization because of its numerous features. It's a stable version that I use in an inter-cloud network, so I don't need to regularly update anything, and I don't need to expose my OS to the outside world, making this very positive.

Documentation for Oracle Linux is okay, and while user experience is good enough, it sometimes lags, so they can improve some areas there.

Oracle Linux has many features, but it is sometimes heavy, and the response from my Oracle Linux is a little bit laggy. This may be because my kernel is lower at 5.14, which is why it's not so fast and sometimes creates lag or has a longer response time.

I have been using Oracle Linux from the beginning of my job, which has been before 2024.

In my experience, Oracle Linux is approximately 95% stable.

Oracle Linux's scalability is designed for big data, so it may be scalable, but it takes a lot of resources and has many big data issues.

I actually don't need customer support for Oracle Linux at this time, but if I needed it, I would ask and share that experience.

From the first day, we have been using Oracle Linux, but before that, we were using AlmaLinux for our cPanel hosting and CentOS for other uses. We are not using CentOS anymore because it is not updated.

Having used Oracle Linux, I can say money is saved because our server is working efficiently, and time is saved due to many inbuilt tools that help us since we are in the cloud network.

In terms of outcomes or benefits I've seen over the last year, we have more than 30 servers, and we only need to reboot one server while all other servers continue working fine, resulting in very low downtime, which is very helpful.

Before choosing Oracle Linux, I evaluated options such as AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux.

My advice for others looking into using Oracle Linux is that it's good for Oracle Database, and it has its own open-source model along with a few things that are different from others. I rate Oracle Linux 8 out of 10.

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.

My main use cases for Oracle Linux are ERP. I am using Oracle Linux for ERP purposes.

I find everything useful in this tool, as we are currently using Finance, Material Management, and Supply Chain. All of these features are beneficial.

Oracle Linux can be improved by making it more user-friendly.

The interface and some features need improvement. The interface is very important. Sometimes, there is a very lengthy process to generate a single report. The customization also needs development.

There should be more customization allowed for the system. There are some limitations as we cannot customize the system according to our needs. We have to use the standard features which are not always suitable for our business. Despite these limitations, we continue to use it.

I have been working with Oracle Linux for the last four to five years.

I consider Oracle Linux to be stable software. It is stable, proactive, and secure.

The biggest advantage and benefit of Oracle Linux is its stability, proactivity, and security.

Regarding scalability, I would rate Oracle Linux between five to six.

Regarding technical support and customer support, I have contacted them and would rate it 8 out of 10.

It is not critical to set up Oracle Linux.

When considering the value for money with Oracle Linux, I believe there is definite value.

I have no experience with Oracle APEX or with Oracle ODI, but we are planning to move from Oracle EBS to Fusion.

I am not using the DTrace comprehensive dynamic tracing framework.

I am interested in taking an exam or getting certification from Oracle.

On a scale of 1-10, I rate Oracle Linux a 7.

Since Oracle Linux is a very light software, it does not take time to deploy unless you have virtuals, or if you have containers you need to set up, which will take additional time. Installing and setting up Oracle Linux takes very few minutes.

Oracle Linux is very supportive in supporting my AI-driven projects and workloads.

The applications that we have deployed under Oracle Linux run optimally compared to environment we had hosted previously

The most valuable feature of Oracle Linux is managing applications and managing application development on the cloud. It is more secure and easier to manage.

Oracle Linux is excellent software, and I rate its scalability an eight.

There are at least 42 people using Oracle Linux in my organization, and we have virtualized some servers where we have deployed eight VMs.

The area of Oracle Linux that needs improvement is related to updates. If they have updates, it should update itself without logging out your services.

I have worked with Oracle Linux for two years.

I rate the stability of Oracle Linux as very stable, at eight.

Oracle has implemented a chatting AI which answers most questions effectively, but getting real customer service takes some time.

Oracle Linux is a bit easy to set up.

I have a solution on-premises, and also on cloud for containers and orchestration.

The price of Oracle Linux is affordable, and you can download it for free. It is very available on the Oracle site, and it is an open solution.

Based on my experience, I would recommend Oracle Linux to other people anytime.

Overall, I rate this solution as the best solution at nine out of ten.

I am using Oracle Linux in the IT industry.

We configure Oracle Linux and give it to our customers, which amounts to thousands of people using it.

The features of Oracle Linux that we find most effective are when we normally use it as a VPN gateway. We configure it and make it an application-level gateway, and we use it for user authentication.

The main benefits we see in this operating system, apart from the user authentication and VPN gateway, are that we were using CentOS before. Since CentOS is stopping support and going to downstream support now, we moved to Oracle Linux for that matter. Otherwise, we were satisfied with the CentOS part.

I feel that Oracle Linux should improve to have a graphical interface that would be much more user-friendly, similar to Ubuntu, so that people who want to interface with the Oracle servers can have Oracle Linux desktop on their personal laptops as well.

I would recommend that those who are planning to use Oracle Linux consider it as a 90% replacement for CentOS because most people would be moving out of CentOS due to those stream and support issues. It is a close match to CentOS, and it could reach out to end users better if the graphical user interface is improved. On the server side, it is acceptable as it is an apple-to-apple match for CentOS, but for end users, people would be comparing it with Ubuntu or Mint, so it should improve its user interface.

We have been using Oracle Linux for about a year.

I have not faced any challenges or difficulties with Oracle Linux during this time.

I have not had any stability issues with Oracle Linux.

I have not experienced Oracle Linux handling large-scale deployments; we just do a single node or double node deployment as of now.

I haven't used the scalability feature of Oracle Linux to evaluate if it is scalable enough for my environment.

We normally use the community support for Oracle Linux as of now, which is my impression on the support they provide.

I have no complaints or recommendations regarding community support.

We switched to Oracle Linux because support is not available for CentOS; the patches won't be available, which is why we have moved to Oracle Linux, and on my personal laptop, I mostly use Ubuntu.

It is easy to set up Oracle Linux compared to CentOS.

If I were to rate the setup for Oracle Linux from 1 to 10, it would receive a perfect 10.

We have customized Oracle Linux, and we use it as a VPN.

Regarding security enhancements in Oracle Linux, the patches are available, so as and when the security patches are available, we update them.

We plan to increase the usage of Oracle Linux for now.

I rate Oracle Linux as a 10 when used on a server, but if I use it as an end user in terms of desktop computing, then it could be a five because the graphics is not as impressive as Ubuntu.

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.

Customer service is good, but sometimes there are delays due to the criticality of the ticket.

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.
