What do you like best about Oracle Linux?

Linux's open-source capability has helped our organization deploy the Rise Vision Application. Having to pay for licenses for Windows would have increased our expenses and decrease our Yearly Budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only notable downside of Linux is the learning curve associated with moving to it from a background in Windows. This has led me to have to take time out on my own to learn and understand the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Oracle Linux solving and how is that benefiting you?

Linux has solved the problem of providing a low-cost operating system to run and manage the Rise Vision Application. This has allowed our department to stay within budget and maximize our funding for other projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Oracle Linux?

Oracle Linux is the best OS so far i have used in my entire carrier. It is almost same as redhat linux and you also get a same feel like you are using redhat linux.

What do you like best about Oracle Linux?

Since the OS is designed specifically for running a database instance and its services, everything is more streamlined, robust, reliable and the performance is as good as it gets. Adding the fact that its essentially free and you only pay for support makes it an ideal choice for SME. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Linux?

If you plan on running many services on a single server that does not have support for Linux, you don't have a choice but to virtualize Oracle Linux or go for the Windows version of Oracle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle Linux:

Whether you are an SME or a large enterprise, using Oracle Linux has many advantages being affordable (free if you can manage it in-house) and scalable for a variety of environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Oracle Linux solving and how is that benefiting you?

Running Oracle Linux instead of the Windows version of Oracle has greatly reduced the system resources required for the same processing. Transactions simply get done much faster. Given the robust nature of Linux vs Windows, the downtime is almost none existant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
