SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Linux from Europe
What do you like best about the product?
We use SLES due to the long support cycles for the major versions, the well-tested software, and the reliability during upgrades. Besides Debian GNU/Linux, 70% of our servers run on SLES, and the servers can be easily administered via Ansible. The contact with customer support takes place in English, which is positive, but in my opinion, it should continue to be in German. So far, there has been no challenge that could not be solved. I would also like to particularly emphasize that SUSE is not rigid in its development, but with the new version 16, it cuts off old habits and removes tools like yast, apparmor, and salt from the standard distribution in favor of their better counterparts. The offer of the SUSE open build service for creating, testing, and publishing software packages is also worth mentioning. It can be used freely, and with it, missing packages can be created by oneself.
What do you dislike about the product?
The partial absence of, in my opinion, important packages like mydumper or hstr. However, it should be mentioned that there is the Open Build Service from SUSE.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A solid Linux like any other, but very solid and based in Europe.
