SLES is reliable for corporate use
What do you like best about the product?
The updates are reliable and do not break existing workloads. Easy to deploy and manage. Security updates are very timely. Gold customer support is very knowledgeable and quick to get back to you.
What do you dislike about the product?
Yast2 is powerful but when something goes wrong i'd like to be able to know what it's doing behind the scenes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making updates available in a timely manner to keep our environment secure. Carefully reviewing updates so they do not impact the application layer.
Enterprise Operating System that is beginner friendly
What do you like best about the product?
As someone who has little experience with a Linux operating system, I find it easy to operate. The product has very good support website where you can find everything you need to get your server up and running as well as to troubleshoot issues that you may encounter with upgrading your system.
What do you dislike about the product?
To be frank, I can't think of anything to dislike about SUSE. They have very good after sales support and they really reward customers well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed an operating system that we can run our SAP HANA on and SUS Linux Enterprise Server seems to be the right fit with their Long Term Service Pack Support, we can keep using our application longer without planning an update or migration every time.
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.

The advantages of open source with the benefits of enterprise-grade support
What do you like best about the product?
I’ve had a very positive experience with SUSE because it’s a highly robust operating system.
Its stability, reliability, and enterprise-grade capabilities, make it an excellent choice for organizations that need a solid platform.
In addition, the support is very professional and efficient whenever it’s needed. I know that SUSE has recently improved its support service through the SCC portal, which makes the overall experience even stronger and more reliable.
Currently, SUSE 15 SP7 offers a very high LTS (Long-Term Support), which greatly simplifies the server lifecycle in terms of updates, allowing organizations to stay up-to-date without having to perform major release upgrades.

What do you dislike about the product?
I had occasionally encountered situations where a package from the official repositories (PHP, for example) was behind the latest active version. Although these packages were maintained with security updates, I had to keep an application running without being able to upgrade to the latest version due to the repository limitations.
Earlier versions had a short lifecycle, but this has been resolved with SUSE 15 SP7, which now offers a much longer Long-Term Support (LTS), simplifying server maintenance and updates

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SUSE has stability and strong security, which keep critical applications running and data well protected. Its official repositories are extensive, providing a wide range of packages and resources. On top of that, SLES follows the open source philosophy, offering flexibility and transparency.
