Stable performance enhances operations, but improving interface and customization is necessary
What is our primary use case?
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.

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

Though a high-performance and user-friendly tool, it sometimes may experience slowdowns
What is our primary use case?
In our company, we are using Oracle Linux for virtualized machines or VMs. So, Oracle Linux is the operating software for us. The tool is easy to use, and its performance is also good. From a competitive point of view, the solution is cost-effective, so it is installed in our machines.
What needs improvement?
The solution's security could be better and improved, but I am not sure.
Since it is a VM, it gets slow. It can be an area for improvement. So, we get a connection, making it not a very significant issue since it usually works well.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Oracle Linux for two to three years as an end-user. Also, I don't remember the version of the solution I am using.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable solution. We rarely face any issues with the machine.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Since the solution is a per-machine license-based one, I am unsure about its scalability.
I have worked with thousands who were working on the solution.
How are customer service and support?
With our machines, we do seek help from the solution's technical support. So, whenever we have an issue, as I mentioned, we go back to IT support to raise a ticket, and they resolve our issues in a day.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We switched to Oracle Linux from another solution since it is our organization that provides us with software, it is. So they decided Oracle Linux to be the operating system we all use.
How was the initial setup?
We get the machines to work on, but since I am an end-user, I feel that I am not the right person to speak on how Oracle Linux does the setup and the cost involved in the solution. We let the staff involved in the deployment and maintenance know whenever we have an issue with the operating system. We generate a ticket, and depending upon an issue, they take a day maximum to resolve our issues.
What about the implementation team?
Our IT support team did everything related to the installation part.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We are currently operating the solution using a license-based version. We get licenses per machine.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
The evaluation of other solutions was not carried out at an organizational level but at a personal level, and I looked at Microsoft-based products. There are two different scenarios, one of which, at a personal level, I might have a different operating system on my computer, while in the second one, my office might be providing me with some different machine. But we need to acknowledge the fact that the company's decision is of paramount importance.
What other advice do I have?
I rate the overall product a seven to eight out of ten.
