My main use case for Oracle Linux is to provision a VM and run applications or services.

A specific example of an application I run on Oracle Linux is revenue assurance and fraud management systems. Oracle Linux serves as the OS, while the application sits on the OS. We make use of some of the Linux packages that are residing on Oracle Linux to work with the application or the service. Oracle Linux also provides us with NFS and CIFS because we needed to have a central storage.

The best features Oracle Linux offers include being a Linux system designed for enterprise environments, and it is based off of Red Hat Linux, which makes it much more stable and also improves security.

The features of Oracle Linux have helped my organization because we have noticed fewer security incidents since it is a downstream of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. We get updates regularly, and we run our updates regularly, which leads to much fewer security incidents. Because it is a Linux system, we are able to get better uptime with our security patches.

Oracle Linux has positively impacted my organization by making it easier to manage and also being much cheaper than Red Hat because you do not have to pay for subscription licenses, leading to improvements and cost savings.

I wish Oracle Linux could improve its OVM because I want it to run HCI solutions where I can aggregate my local disks using technology such as vSAN, especially since Red Hat has discontinued RHEV for OpenShift.

I have been using Oracle Linux for eight years.

Oracle Linux is stable in my experience, as it is a downstream for Red Hat, making it much more stable and secure.

Oracle Linux's scalability is good because it can handle growth, as we use it in our services, and one of the services has grown from 20 to 30 servers.

My experience with customer support for Oracle Linux has been acceptable; I have had one or two opportunities to reach out to them, and the experience has not been bad.

I rate the customer support for Oracle Linux a six out of ten.

In addition to Oracle Linux, I also use Red Hat, Ubuntu, and Debian, so I have not stopped using other solutions.

I do not have any numbers or examples regarding a return on investment to share because I do not conduct any tests to be able to decide this, but I know for a fact that I do not have to pay for subscription or licensing, and because it is Red Hat-based, most people know how to use it.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Oracle Linux has been very positive because when it comes to licensing and the likes, as I said, it is a downstream of Red Hat, so you do not have to pay much for licensing or subscription. The only thing you have to pay for is support.

I did not evaluate any other option before choosing Oracle Linux; I just went for it.

I do not manage the system, but I manage the OS, so that is what I can provide.

The cost savings from using Oracle Linux come from the fact that since it is a downstream of Red Hat, you do not have to pay for subscription, while you enjoy most of the benefits of Red Hat, so we use it.

I would advise others looking into using Oracle Linux to try it, and if they are comfortable with it, then they can go ahead.

I gave this review an overall rating of seven out of ten.

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.

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 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.
