Standard contract
Customer reviews
Stable performance enhances operations, but improving interface and customization is necessary
What is our primary use case?
My main use cases for Oracle Linux are ERP. I am using Oracle Linux for ERP purposes.
What is most valuable?
I find everything useful in this tool, as we are currently using Finance, Material Management, and Supply Chain. All of these features are beneficial.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Oracle Linux for the last four to five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
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.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Regarding scalability, I would rate Oracle Linux between five to six.
How are customer service and support?
Regarding technical support and customer support, I have contacted them and would rate it 8 out of 10.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
It is not critical to set up Oracle Linux.
What was our ROI?
When considering the value for money with Oracle Linux, I believe there is definite value.
What other advice do I have?
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.
Delivers strong support for AI projects with quick deployment
What is our primary use case?
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.
How has it helped my organization?
The applications that we have deployed under Oracle Linux run optimally compared to environment we had hosted previouslyÂ
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have worked with Oracle Linux for two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the stability of Oracle Linux as very stable, at eight.
How are customer service and support?
Oracle has implemented a chatting AI which answers most questions effectively, but getting real customer service takes some time.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
How was the initial setup?
Oracle Linux is a bit easy to set up.
What other advice do I have?
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.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
User interface needs refinement but serves well for server functionality
What is our primary use case?
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.
What is most valuable?
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 CentOSÂ before. Since CentOSÂ 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.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Oracle Linux for about a year.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
I have not faced any challenges or difficulties with Oracle Linux during this time.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I have not had any stability issues with Oracle Linux.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
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.
How are customer service and support?
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.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
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.
How was the initial setup?
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.
What other advice do I have?
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.
